NJ Private Fishing Charters
Our New Jersey Private Fishing Trips are perfect for families, small group outings, or recreational anglers, who want the boat to themselves. Customize your trip, target your favorite species, and enjoy a personalized day on the water with our crew. Our NJ Fishing Charters are limited to 3 - 4 Adults, plus kids can be added for a total of 4 or 5 guests to ensure safety and a personalized fishing experience, depending on the season and fish being targeted. We cater to both beginners and experienced anglers. Our LBI Private Group Charters are perfect for families looking for a family-friendly fishing trip while on vacations, visiting Long Beach Island, NJ, or coworkers looking for a group outing to enjoy fishing the waters around Barnegat Light.
LBI NJ OPEN‑Boat Shared Fishing Trips
Our LBI NJ OPEN Boat Shared Fishing trips are ideal for solo recreational anglers or couples. Join others who share your passion for fishing and enjoy a cost‑friendly way to get out on the water without booking the entire boat. It is easy, pay only your share of a private charter, and we will pair you with some other friendly guests to fill the trip to 3 or 4 guests, depending on the season and fish targeted. Enjoy the comfort and privacy of a private charter, while making great memories on the water with some new friends. Any fish kept during the trip are shared between the guests.
Why Should We Book Early?
Prime dates, especially weekends and peak migration windows, fill up fast every year. First come first served when it comes to scheduling our private and open fishing charters. Booking early gives you the best shot at securing the tides, times, and targeted fish species you want the most.
