We were a bit apprehensive about taking our 6, 9, and 14 year olds on the boat - we ended up booking a day at Tices Shoal & Island Beach State Park for the day at the end of our cruise. The kids cant wait to go back and hangout with Mike & Kara. Keep up the great work y'all!

Boating seemed like an obvious option, but all the other tours I found looked crowded, not very intimate, and were pricey. Lucky for me, LBI Luxury Charters had just started doing private boat tours a month before my visit. Captain Mike and his crew member James could not have been more accommodating or pleasant, ensuring my friends and I had everything we needed aboard to enjoy a beautiful sunset cruise on the bay. They provided small snacks and drinks as well as a cooler with ice for the items we brought. The boat was beautiful and very roomy for the 4 of us -- you can bring up to 6 on board -- and was not ridiculously expensive for a two hour ride, especially compared to the other tours I found. Overall, a great find. Thanks, guys, for a memorable time and save some room for us next season ;)

One of the Best Sailing Experiences of My Life!…read more I had the most fantastic experience sailing on the Jersey Shore's Barnegat Bay on a beautiful September day. The "Steph-Er-Laur" is a Beneteau 32-foot sloop owned by sailboat charter company "A Day On The Bay." The tour departs from The Inn at Rivers Edge Marina, 223 East Lacey Rd. Forked River, NJ 08731 with easy access from the Garden State Parkway Exit 74. The sailing vessel has plenty of cockpit space and foredeck for relaxing while you sit back and take in the sights and beauty of the best sailing area that Barnegat Bay has to offer, including the Barnegat Lighthouse. This trip brought back so many beautiful memories for me since I sailed my pram sailboat, "Little Dipper," here as a child. The weather was perfect, and I had an outstanding time sailing with Captain Warren and his wife, Andi, who served as the "First Mate." I was a lieutenant with the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary for 14 years and was impressed that Captain Warren went over the safety features of the boat and our trip before we left the dock. As a current university professor, I give Captain Warren an "A+" for sharing this important information first. I was also impressed that the sailboat was inspected and certified for safety by the US Coast Guard and that Captain Warren, is a United States Coast Guard Licensed Captain. A fellow passenger, Donna, was on the trip for a sailing lesson. Captain Warren is a terrific instructor, and I learned a few new things myself! Barnegat Bay is a very safe place to learn how to sail and enjoy the loveliness of the experience. The feeling is hard to describe as the sails catch the wind and the sloop gently heals over. Cold water and light snacks were offered, including a large and very clean bathroom or "head" as they are known on sailing vessels. I enjoyed the opportunity to take the helm and benefited from the Captain's extensive experience with wind, surf, and sail. I can't thank "A Day on the Bay" enough for a wonderful experience!

What a great evening. We decided to see if we could get a last minute trip for my birthday. I…read morecalled Cpt. Warren just two days before and he was able to accommodate my wife and me for a sunset sail. Cpt Warren and his wife Andy are a warm, outgoing couple who truly love sailing and their passengers. We were treated like longtime friends. The cruise itself was a bit over 3 hours, we got a n opportunity to steer the boat, and were treated to a spectacular sunset. It's obvious these two truly love sailing because there was no set duration, no "We'll be back at the dock by 8." They wanted us to share in their passion for sailing and relax and enjoy the whole experience. Nothing was rushed. We've taken more of these types of sails than I can count, and this is by far the most enjoyable, relaxing, and best value for our money, we've found. Cpt Warren and Andy are highly recommended, without reservation. Give them a call, you won't be disappointed.

If there is a fish to be caught he is the guy to find it. Over the years we have done trolling trips, bottom fishing trips and more. He helped me refine my technique for flounder fishing, and patiently untangles lines. Whether you are experienced or not Captain Jack can suit your level of skill and put fish in the boat. He also filets them and does a good job educating about the local flora and fauna. His rates are very reasonable and overall I would absolutely recommend fishing with him to anybody young or old; experienced or inexperienced.
