Specializing in original light tackle techniques for quality fish. Originator of snap-jigging. Premium Charters is THE premium Montauk fishing charter around! Captain John Paduano is happy to share his over 40 years of fishing experience with you and your crew. He’s a fun Captain that loves teaching his passion for fishing to anglers of all ages. Booking your next fishing trip with Premium Charters and Captain John guarantees you’ll have a great day on the water! Your group of six can climb aboard the 25ft Parker Boats Center Console, powered by 225 HP Yamaha engine. There is a livewell on board, top navigational equipment, and all USCG Certified Safety Equipment. Dubbed “Banana Proof” this boat doesn’t believe in the myth of the banana! Premium Charters offers half day (4 hours) and full day (8 hours) fishing trips. Included in the trip price is fishing licenses for all anglers, rods, reels, bait and tackle. Captain John will also clean and bag your catch at the end of the trip! If you’re looking for a great day of fishing with a top Atlantic Ocean fishing charter – Captain John and Premium Charters has you covered! Both inshore and offshore trips are available: inshore fishing means we’ll be targeting Bass, Flounder, Weakfish, and more, while offshore we target Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Sharks and more! Captain John prefers to throw jigs and poppers to the tuna instead of trolling. Snap jigging is also a custom technique developed by Captain John where we can catch big fish on light tackle. The goal is to get the very most out of light tackle, and we often catch fish with six-foot spinning rod and ten-pound test reel. On offshore trips we use heavier tackle, but still lighter than the other guys. Whether you’re visiting Montauk, NY or live in the area- fishing with Premium Charters and Captain John is a great way to spend your day. There’s a lifetime of memories waiting for you on “Banana Proof” – so book your Montauk fishing charter today and let’s go fishing!

Half Day Trip (PM)
What a great time we had! Couldn’t have had a better experience! Captain John and First Mate Jr. were just amazing! They were so easy to be around, did everything they could to get us the best experience. We caught a good amount of fish, loved the experience and highly recommend it to all!

Full Day Trip - Inshore
This trip was by far one of the greatest fishing experience I’ve had in montauk. Captain John went above and beyond all of our expectations and continued to make sure we were on fish all day. Not only was this the some of the best fishing We’ve ever had, his unique way of fishing was simple to learn and the most effect method I’ve ever seen in years as we caught 7 different species of fish. He’s open to catch whatever fish you are trying to target. Be prepared to bring a big cooler with you and expect to bring a lot of fish home. I’ll definitely be back on this boat year after year and highly recommend this charter to anyone.
