This is NOT deep sea fishing -- and you will probably NOT take whatever you catch because it will be too small. But if trawling the 12 foot bay with 2 baited hooks on a basic rod/reel rig with the occasional hit interests you -- this charter could be your thing. The Groupon price point is quite reasonable. Captain Tony is an engaging and hospitable host and his new pontoon style boat is steady and accommodates a dozen plus very comfortably. That's about the complement we had on our morning excursion and this is the first year he is running this boat in Cape May. Top Tip: Great for kids who have never fished before -- they will land something -- we all did -- mostly baby sea bass and mud sharks. The crew is helpful and the experience pleasant.

What a great excursion. We went on the 3 hour bay trip. The water was not choppy so no potential…read morefor sea sickness. The captain and mate were very helpful, explained how to fish, and knew a lot about the wildlife. The tour can hold 49 and there was 14 on the boat so there was plenty of personal interaction. One group caught 2 Flounders, another group caught a shark, and my group caught 2 crab and a Sea Robin. The day before, the captain told us they caught a 24 inch Flounder! Overall, this was a 5 Star trip. What I liked: Crew good with kids Crew always helping someone Reasonable price Dropped a crab trap on the way out (kids got to pick the spot) What I did not like: Sea bugs all over (crew offered big spray which helped) Catch more fish

They worked hard to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves and they made it fun for the whole family. They are truly passionate about the environment and preserving the animals who live in the water and depend on a clean environment for the best quality of life and to not go extinct. We saw dauphins, Cape May, they had a horseshoe crab on board and other small sea creatures that we could touch and learn about. It was such a feel good experience. You can enjoy light refreshments and snacks onboard. The top deck is open but there's barely any shade so bring your visor or an umbrella for shade. It's best to order your tickets online to save money and reserve your spot.

Last minute decision to come to Cape May…read more Jumped online and found a reasonable charter at the last moment. Worked out perfectly on a Thursday afternoon. Just the two of us picked the option for fishing. 1pm time. Read the tips to show up an hour early. The boat before us wasn't back yet, and the parking was none. There are maybe 3 businesses sharing one parking area and more businesses fighting for street parking. This was just a little frustrating. Once the boat tour before us came back and left, they get you double parked in their tiny lot. If you don't like that, come early to find street parking. Other than that. This is a bigger charter. You pay a rental for the rod when you purchase your ticket, which includes your fishing license. There are about 25 spots for rods built into the side of the boat, but we were fortunately there was not that many people. Even with only about 15 people on our side, with the drifting the boat does you are guaranteed to get tangled at least once. Thank goodness for Joe and the help on the boat. There in a flash to fix your rod, untangle, or unhook your fish. I can unhook my own bass, but I don't know salt water fish and didn't want to stick my finger in anything I didn't know. You get two cups of bait. They show you how to bait your hook, and once the hour long trip out is over, you do your line and go. The captain was great with getting us on the fish. I caught a couple of flounders, a bunch of bass and a sea Robin! I lost count of how many I caught. We caught lots and got a coupl of keepers. We didn't get the heaviest, but it was close. Bathrooms for all on the boat. Snacks for purchase. Sun shirts for purchase if needed. Be like the cool kids and take a slim rag for after you bait your hook. It's worth the money. If you wanted less people you will be paying more on a different charter. Again a shout out to a great ships crew and their great job. They cleaned our catch and were fun. Thanks for a great time.

Capt TJ worked hard to land our limit of fish but more importantly, he really helped my nephews get hooked on fishing at such a young age. I knew it was going to a bit hit or miss experience since it was the first time on the boat for both of them and he knocked it out of the park. They had such a great time and I was so happy to see the joy in their faces every time they had a fish on. It was also awesome to witness the passion Capt TJ has for the sport of fishing and his genuine desire to keep future generations inspired to be out on the water. Thanks for the awesome experience Capt and we look forward to coming back to Cape May and being on your boat.
