Highly recommend
Tom is a great captain. We really enjoyed our day out and about with him. We went out to the Atlantic for a bit but there wasn’t much biting so he took us into the bay and under the Marine Park bridge and we caught a couple fish there (some small fluke, sea robin and skate). No keepers because it’s early in the season but he really made a good effort to ensure we found some fish and had a great time. The boat had a toilet aboard in the cabin below and was very spacious. Would definitely recommend a day out with Tom

Fun family day with Captain Tom
It was our best fishing trip. Captain Tom was waiting for us right at the parking lot and ready to go when we arrived. The boat is very clean and everything is well organized. Tom is very nice and tried very hard to get good fishing locations. In total, we captured more than 25 different kinds of fishes and 11 are quite big:). My sons were very excited and we will definitely come back again in the near future. Thanks, Captain Tom.

Great time on the water with Captain Tom
Tom did a great job guiding us on our trip. We were all beginner fisherman and Tom took the time to help us catch plenty of fish around the Rockaway Inlet. We caught sea robins, fluke, bluefish, dogfish and a star gazer. Everyone had a great time!
