When we got there early in the morning after driving 2 hours, it was almost packed. I would say it was at least at 90%. The crew was nice. However, the experience was not the same because I was expecting to have some space between me and the guy next to me. Instead everyone was about a foot apart. Not comfortable when you your trying to cast a 5 foot fishing pole. They are actively lying to your face when you go onto their website. They clearly state 50% capacity .

Knowledgeable and helpful are the first two words that come to mind. Sunday's fishing was very good, some of the best bonito fishing I've ever experienced. Never thought that today's fishing would be better but it was--amazing, once in a life time bite. The attached picture is from Sunday's trip. This was my 10 AM cooler check and you can see how full it was. Highly recommend

Regardless of catching keepers, we were reeling them in all day long. we went from 7:30am to 2:30pm and between the 4 of us we hooked about 40 fish. Although we only had one keeper, it may have to do with the fact that the limit was raised to 18". These guys stick to the rules and don't let anyone keep shorts. Overall fantastic crew and boat, great trip! Will be going again very soon!

I would recommend this beautiful boat for any event that you want to be extra special!

Cant Express Enough How Much It Hurts Me Write This Less than Perfect Review…read more My Sentiments Match Exactly That Of Every Other Review Except That In My Most Recent Experience, A Negligent, Jealous And Rude Fisherman Was Going To Be Rewarded With A 50% Share In A Fish After Claiming A 70" White Marlin That A Trans-Girl Who Has Been Fishing Her Entire Life, Who Was Fishing Alone For Her Birthday, Caught 98% By Herself, Sans the Matestaff And The Captain, On His Unattended Ultralight Penn Spinning Rod. This Man Sat And Rolled Around On A Wheelchair On A Deep Sea Fishing Boat, Obviously Very Disabled. Upon Return To The Dock, The Captain Ordered Her To Forfeit 1/2 Of This Fish To The Man Or Throw Its Entirety Off the Back Of The Boat In To The River. It Was a Fish She Had Dreamed Of Her Entire Life. She Used To Get In Trouble In Elementary School for Drawing Marlin On Her Tests And Dittos. The Jealous Wheelchair Man Sat At The End Of The Gangway Visibly Displaying A Butcher Knife. The Captain Did Nothing To Prevent This Intimidation And In Fact Enabled It. Fearing For Her Safety And Ultimately To Avoid Confrontation, A Beautiful And Majestic 70" White Marlin Was Thrown Over The Back Of The Boat Into the Manasquan River, By Her, SO NO ONE COULD FIGHT OVER IT. Any Man Who Would Try To Claim A Fish That A Girl Caught Is Pathetic And Wrong. Any Captain Who Would Agree With Him Or Take A Dream Fishing Experience From Its Good Customer Is Unfortunately Mistaken As Well. The Saddest Thing Is That After The Dust Settled, The Captain Still Has Not Been Able To Admit He Made A Mistake. Furthermore, The Management Of This Boat Has Withheld All Pictures And Video Of This Girl As A Sort Of 'Punishment' For Her Actions, Even Though She Had Over Invested Over $1000 All Told, With Travel For This Birthday Fishing Excursion. I Believe Captain Howard Bogan Is Only Human, Made This One Very Grave Error And Is Un-Matched In His Industry. He Is the Best Headboat Captain In New Jersey And I Just Wish He Could Publicly Apologize For The Terrible Position He Put Me In. It Is With Deep Sadness That This Ugly Truth Had To Be Yelped. I Am Still Waiting For My Pictures.

The day we went did not have a massive number of people onboard. The charters I've done at the Shore are usually crammed with people. It was refreshing to have some space to move around on the Norma K III. Hardworking Captain Tom (think that was his name) who moves around a lot to get you as many chances as possible to get a catch. I'm a newbie to fishing and caught my biggest fish (blue fish) ever in the Norma K III. Our mate, Xavier was affable, helpful, informative and a great addition to the crew. I would definitely recommend the Norma K III and we plan on going out again with them. I actually want to give them 5 stars but will hold off for at least 1 more outing. If my next one is as enjoyable as today then they will definitely update to 5 Star.
