His crew is beyond helpful and extremely knowledgeable, the service they provide goes far beyond all other charters! Many charters in that area have very rude workers not to name names but Capt Dave and his crew is the nicest bunch you will ever meet. If you're looking for a good time look no further!

As soon as I approached the boat, my kids and I were pleasantly greeted by several people. "Frank",…read more"the boat's staff, helped explain the Rod and reel use and rental and checked us in. We were given bait by Ian and were set up to succeed. Whenever we caught a fish, Ian or Frank would come right over and help us unhook and either keep it or throw it back(small or shark). If we broke line or lost a weight or hook, either man would quickly get us ready again with a new setup. Whatever fish we were able to keep, Frank filleted for us right on the boat. A very fun experienc. Highly recommend.

Some fishing boats take you over by Coney Island, or along the Breezy Point coast…read more Donna G took us fishing along flipping Long Island!! I felt like I was on the set of the Deadliest Catch! Patience is a virtue, and this crew definitely had it last Saturday. Let me first start off by saying that Captain Dom and his crew are totally chill, laid back, and just plain awesome! These are men and women that know the sea, and actually give you helpful tips on how to properly fish if this is your first voyage; really family friendly. Make sure you pack the following: 1) a towel to sit on 2) antibacterial 3) toilet paper (trust me) 4) pack snacks or sandwiches 5) CASH 6) BYOB!!!!! That's right!! They do offer drinks on board for a small cash fee, but you can totally fill your cooler up with anything your heart desires! SWEET! Usually, you are fishing for fluke, and fluke alone - but on our trip, people caught porgies, blue fish, sea bass and fluke! Loved the variety! Captain Dom took about well over an hour before we dropped anchor at our first fishing attempt. The further the day went, the further out we went, and the more fish were caught! What was the totals? Me: Seven - no keepers My Beau: Three - one was a keeper! We will DEFINITELY be back! Best way to contact? Try Captain Dom after 4 PM on a weekday to schedule!

Captain Joe Shastay is a real gem! He knows NYC harbor waters better than anyone. While other…read moreboats are floating around aimlessly, he is catching fish! He hasn't been skunked in over 2000 trips! We caught 12 stripers in 4 hours right next to the FDR drive! Joe is a great guy, very easy-going and easy to be around. He takes care of everything. Just show up and he'll rig you up. He does bait, lures, fly fishing ....all depends on what is biting and where you are fishing. Joe is worth every penny!

It was a stormy cloudy day with rain on the horizon and really choppy waves. I was told that it was not a good day for fishing. The captain tried very hard to find us fish and it was one of the best fishing trips ever. I went with my brother and father for my father's birthday. We got 2 buckets full of porgies on a "bad fishing day"!!!! I can only imagine what a good day would look like with those experienced fishermen. Thank you!!!

Okay, so I just came on here to read the reviews out of curiosity & send the yelp link to my cousin…read morewho I want to bring fishing. I personally have been fishing with Brooklyn VI for years with a large group of friends. I have never sought out another boat because of the following: - They have a cool and helpful staff. - If nothing is biting, they ALWAYS tell us to stop and drive out deeper to find a better location. - I literally always have to STOP fishing because I catch too many Blues (don't have the freezer room). The first time I fished with them I caught 9 big blues. I always catch a bunch and then chill the rest of the trip and talk to friends who are pooped. On one trip, my son was about 9 at the time - he caught 3 or 4 by himself and the staff of course pulled the fish in for him. -They clean the fish for you which saves me so much trouble. I don't want to call anyone a liar but I will say, after what, 7 years of fishing with Brooklyn VI, I've NEVER seen the shore when we start fishing, never! I WILL say that I've only fished the weekend 7pm trips so I can only comment on that.

Captain Joe Mattioli is the very best fishing guide in the Manhattan area. I have used him for…read moreyears chasing huge striped bass with both a fly rod and conventional gear. He ties ALL his own flies and knows the migrations, where they are, and how to entice them. What's more he's very patient with both beginners and seasoned fishermen. His fishing equipment is top notch and his 38' boat is the smoothest and cleanest I have ever seen. Docked on Staten Island he immediately fishes the waters near and far, depending upon where they are migrating. He practices catch and release, but will help you harvest for the grill. He will carefully clean and prepare your catch. Having fished for stripe bass for more than 60 years, I cannot give him a higher recommendation. A day with Capt Joe will be one to remember!
