This last trip - unfortunately I wasn't feeling well - but the fishing was insane with hundreds of keepers caught and multiple double digit fluke on top of monster sea bass... one person had two over ten himself and like a dozen others in the 5-8# class. This boat has a solid reputation and I have never seen a customer unhappy. The mates are super friendly and observant. My co worker , whom frequents this boat (the only boat he fishes here), tells me it is a family run operation. This is evident in the mates they hire as well. If the "doin it live on the Miss Montauk" t-shirt ever becomes available I want a few! Please! Do it live!

It was about $700+ after fees, tip, etc, and it was totally worth it. Our captain, Mason, was super cool. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and we felt comfortable being really annoying and weird in front of him. The sail itself was just a short ride in the bay, where we anchored close to a beach. We loved dancing on the boat, trying out the SUP board (included), basically chugging our BYOB drinks (no hard liquor allowed on board), taking pics lounging in the net, gawking at the yachts, and pretending the pool noodles were seahorses that we were riding. Bachelorette stuff! I think we had the Mon Mini boat, probably the smallest option. Included: one SUP board, bluetooth speaker, cooler, two pool noodles, the captain.

We did a half-day charter with them because they came highly recommended. From the moment we stepped on board, it was clear why they were. They shared their local knowledge and even made the ride to the fishing spot enjoyable. Once we got there, and the lines were in the water, the fish didn't stop biting. The lines would be in for no more than five minutes before we had a fish on. As soon as one line hit, the other one would hit and each time we reeled them in there was either one or two big stripers on each rod. We even got three on one of them. This kept happening over and over for the entire trip! Can't thank them enough for such an amazing day!!

I suggest not taking any chances and get your bait and tackle needs done before arriving in Montauk. Just saying P.S. Bought clams on the half shell at local restaurant for bait. Had a great day of fishing anyway

My family and I had the best time fishing on the Flying Cloud. Flying Cloud is just one of many…read morecharter boats that offer half day fishing trips, but I chose Flying Cloud because they have a website and they responded to my inquiry email promptly. The Flying Cloud goes out twice a day* and it's $45/person. All tackle and bait is included. We decided to go on the afternoon fishing trip; there were three other small groups on the boat with us but it wasn't crowded at all. Since only three out of our group of four was planning to fish, they were nice enough to only charge us for three people. If you're a first timer at fishing make sure you let them know and someone will give you a crash course when you get on the boat, i.e. how to bait your hook and how to properly drop your line into the sea until the sinker hits the bottom. The Flying Cloud crew was really great. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/AoCYQVrX1vau-qbbIUjyyA?select=hRKuruRk5spEQPXZdIX5JQ Capt. Fred Bird drove the boat and took charge of when and where to move spots**. He mostly stayed up above, "DJ-ing" our fishing trip soundtrack and telling us funny stories while we fished. Capt. Neil Nixon was really a pleasure to have in charge. He was very perceptive in his supervising, chatting with the chattier guests on the boat and always ready with the net when someone was reeling in a big one. I appreciated the fact that he let us learn from experience, offering handy tips each time he walked by and only stepping in when we needed help. Capt. Neil also scales and guts the fish that are caught. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/AoCYQVrX1vau-qbbIUjyyA?select=ZVa14NtlGilTToxyYtIzSA Some people requested their fish filleted, but we opted to have the bass my sister caught whole. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/AoCYQVrX1vau-qbbIUjyyA?select=kT09jFmE9xNqqE81RQ443Q It was turned into Chinese-style steamed bass and fish head stew the next day. Delicious! A couple tips: 1. Even if it's overcast (which it was) you can still get sunburned (which I did) so remember to put on sunblock! 2. If you're prone to seasickness, pack some dramamine in case you need it and don't eat too much before the trip. I started to feel sick after the boat stopped for the first time and it lasted almost an hour before it went away. 3. Bring rags because things will get messy. The pro fishers on board all knew this. 4. Pack some snacks. They sell some on board but it's all overpriced (e.g. $2 for a can of soda). 5. Bring your camera! If you catch a fish you'll definitely want a picture of the moment. Plus, you'll have a great view of the Montauk Point Lighthouse from the boat. Despite getting sunburned and seasick for a part of the time, this was easily my favorite part of our Montauk vacation. Thank you Flying Cloud crew! *8AM - 12PM and 1PM - 5PM **We moved spots about 5 times, either after someone caught a fish or if we were in a spot for a long time without catching something.
