    A keeper striped bass!

    I went on ~8 trips with the Sea Queen for striped bass and bluefish on 2024 and deeply enjoyed each trip. Captain Steve, Owen, Brandon, Mattie and the rest of the crew have been extremely kind, welcoming and helpful--fostering a family-friendly environment and wonderful fishing experience. Be it relaxing with friends to grabs drinks and pick up fishing or to chase stripers blitzes at the crack of dawn, if you're looking to fish near NYC, I would highly recommend the Sea Queen.

    The great mate Kevin removing "jaws jr " for me

    The name says it all "Sea Queen". Go fishing with them and you'll be treated as royalty. Today, a mate , Frank, noticed I was having trouble with my old Penn reel. He determined it was missing a washer for the drag function. I was happy to rent a rod and reel, but frank was on a mission. Taking a plastic soda cap, he literally spent an hour, cutting, filing, sanding and shaping it to serve as a washer. He did it! Because of Frank's dedication, he fixed the reel and I caught two keeper flukes! The entire staff was attentive, professional and beyond helpful with every guest. Not one guest had to touch a fish. Within seconds, someone was there to take it off the hook. I've taken party boats since the 70s. By far, Sea Queen was the best. Thanks again Frank! I'm adding to my review, as I enjoyed another wonderful day on the "Sea Queen". I was waiting in line to pay my fare, when a customer was giving Rob, who was collecting the fares, a hard time. Evidently, the guest didn't read the rules on the website, and was demanding free rod and reels. Rob calmly explained three or four times, he wasn't authorized to do that, everything was on the website, and gave the guest the phone number to the manager to resolve the situation. The unhappy guest then asked, "why are you giving me a hard time,?" Rob repeated again he couldn't give the tackle for free! Throughout the entire episode, Rob was professional, courteous and took a lot of uncalled for abuse, without getting upset. Well done! . He was also so helpful with the guests in the boat! Even Mr Unhappy. The other outstanding mate was Kevin. Kevin could be a hotel concierge with his affable demeanor, politeness and his willingness to help his clients. I watched Kevin patiently give a fishing lesson to a young kid on the trip, and when the young boy was so happy he caught a fish, Kevin showed him how to grasp the fish without losing any fingers and pose for a photo op! I'm sure this kid will love fishing because of Kevin's positive attitude. Kevin also deftly and expertly removed several small sharks (with sharp teeth) from my hook. No way I'm doing that! The captain, the crew and everyone on the boat will do all they can to help You catch fish! And even if you go home with an empty bucket , you'll still have a great day on the Seaqueen!

    Let me TELL YOU. This is the review you want to read !!!! I walked on to the boat, immediately greeted. We found our spot and put our stuff down. We were able to bring coolers with whatever we like but the captain request that we do not bring any glass bottles or any hard alcohol. I think this is very fair. The captain allows you to bring food and alcohol and anything else no hard alcohol and no glass. The boat left out pretty much exactly 7 o'clock. The views were absolutely incredible and watching the sunset was amazing. I was almost positive I would not catch a fish because every fishing boat I have ever been on I never caught anything. First place we start to drop our lines, my boss husband catches a fish within seconds. I was amazed. I thought it was just pure luck. Then I just feel something pulling on my rod. I couldn't believe it I also caught a fish as well within minutes of being at the first location to drop our lines. We moved around quite a few times to relocate and reposition ... I caught another TEN FISH!!! (Also I was drinking and smoking on the top deck) my boss husband who is not drinking or smoking caught over 25 fish. I am 99% sure that every single person on that boat caught a fish. I just could not believe it. Crazy to me because I literally never caught a fish in my life and here I am walking out with TWELVE OF THEM !!!!!!! Amazing they even filleted them for me for a very small price. I made sure that we all left extremely generous tips. By the way Chris is awesome and not just because he has the same name as me The girls on the boat are so helpful and so attentive. if I ran out of bait they made sures to run and get me more shrimp!!! What a wonderful experience and I can't wait to go again. I wanted to write this review earlier because I knew I would forget everyone's name but of course I remember Chris's name because it's mine what an awesome awesome time. I met so many cool dudes and girls and was just overall and awesome time. I made fish and chips with what I caught . Oh my god it was GREAT!!!!! Look at my pics !!!! Thanks for the great time guys !!!!!!! Captain was amazing so so nice. Everyone was and everything was . I was on the 7-12 trip. Amazing. If you have been on fishing trips and never caught a fish before I suggest that you go and try out THIS BOAT!! I GUARATEEEE YOU WILL CATCH ATLEAST ONE FISH IF NOT 10. The guy next to me caught almost 40!!!!!! Anyway THANK YOU AGAIN!

    Hey people...i just have to say each time i go on the Sea Queen it gets better and better. I actually love these guys. Captain Steve is the coolest Captain ever. The crew is amazing Frankie, Chris, and sweet little Aden, simply the best. Fishing is a love of mine and i now have a boat and crew that loves me right back. So come on out and bring your family you won't be disappointed at all. Captain Steve has been in the business over 20 years and it shows. He's the kind of guy that comes down to fish right along side his guests and even gives lessons while he's doing it. It doesn't get any better than that folks. So again, if you wanna have safe fun on a Saturday night this is the place. Sea Queen VII.

    So, a pirate's life might not be exactly what you're looking for, especially with the looting and booty...but! The Sea Queen VII will get you some fish if you're lucky! Brought to this ship by a Living Social deal, I decided it was about time to figure out if I was a fisherwoman or not and, of course, I brought my partner in crime with me! For $35, we both were hooked up (haha!) with fishing rods (giving on a first come, first serve basis), rigs, and bait. We were given basic instructions on how to capture our deadliest catch and were monitored from 1-5PM by the crew. Departed and docked strictly on time. A girl even mentioned her boyfriend wasn't boarded yet, and they told her, "1:00PM we sail" and that was the end of that. Luckily he made it on and no one had to swim out after the boat! Captain Steve re-positioned the boat about 5-6 times during our afternoon catch to alternate fishing underneath the boat due to the currents. Since it rained pretty heavily the night before our trip, only about a hand full of us caught fluke that were acceptable to be brought home. Regardless of the catch, I really had a wonderful time! My beau caught a 20 in fluke, and the crew offers to fully gut and filet your fish before docking back onto the pier! We gave a nice tip and were thrilled to have a fresh dinner that night! Clean boat with clean restrooms and stocked with water for $2.00; you can bring your own booze! If I knew this before, I would have packed a cooler like many of our counterparts. They put the radio on because "the fish like the music" and are the most knowledgable bunch of guys I've ever met! We will be visiting again before the summer is through!

    Went on the Sea Queen last Saturday. Their advertising told of free parking in the last lot on the right on Dooley street. When you pull up to it, parking is not available so don't count on it. However there is parking on Shore PKWY. Shore PKWY is one block over parallel to Emmons Ave. Didn't know what to expect when I came aboard. Ship was pretty empty. Maybe 15-20 people fishing, if that. Thankfully we pushed off and went fishing regardless, a lot of times they won't leave without a certain number of people. We left promptly to go fishing. It was 35 for the trip, 5 for the fishing pole and 5 bucks to enter the pool. Reasonable prices. The rods were subpar but they worked. Bait, clam in this case, was fresh. We dropped our sinker about 40 minutes after leaving the dock. The bite was immediate, we didn't wait long at all. Decent sized porgies were in the area, 9" - 12", me and my girlfriend caught one each, I knew it wasn't going to be a bad trip as I hooked up almost immediately after I caught my first one. We caught 4 more and than the captain said lines up. No idea why since the bite was on but I think cap was also looking for sea bass and fluke. We moved 4 - 5 times throughout the day, (on the drift) catching porgy in every location although not as good as the first spot. Two people caught two sea bass, one that won the pool. End of the day I caught 13 keepers, nice fish, 3 - 12's and 1 - 13", the rest keepers, caught 3 short and threw em back. I had the mates clean the fish, it was 15 bucks plus a tip, which I gladly gave. Staff was friendly and helpful, no nastiness that I witnessed, to anyone. All in all it was a good trip, one or two tangles but nothing too bad. I'd go on the Sea Queen again, staff was friendly and cap wanted to catch fish. There was just no sea-bass or fluke in the area, aside from a few shorts and the two keepers. Good day on the water. Thanks Sea Queen for making the day enjoyable.

    Captain Steven...coolest Captain on the sea!

    Sea Queen is the best fishing boat around! The crew mates are friendly and helpful! The Captain Steve is cool and insightful! He will actually come down and give you tips as to the correct way to catch fish! I have been fishing with them for about six years now and I love every minute of their delightful company!

    14 caught this night!

    Never fished before (at least not since I was really young) but a friend brought me out and was such a fun night. Boat has all the gear you need but we brought our own beer and snacks. Boat is nice, crew was all super friendly and helpful and Captain Steve is the best. A really fun side of NYC most people never experience. We were out from 7pm until around 1230am and lots of big bass were caught. Will go again for sure!

    First time fishing on a boat and the expectations were high, cooler was full of alcohol and the weather was nearly perfect. At Sheepshead Bay, there are a large number of day/night fishing expeditions that you can embark upon. The Sea Queen offers 3 different trips 7 AM - 12 PM, 1 PM - 5 PM and 7 PM - 12 AM. Some of my family/friends decided to take a chance and we all went on the earliest voyage. The captain allows you to bring a cooler aboard the boat and alcoholic beverages are permitted (preferably canned beer). There is also food available where you can purchase refreshments and other snacks (hot dogs, chips, etc.) can be purchased. Beer is also sold, Budweiser's are $4 and Corona's are $6 so it's best to bring your own stocks. The boat was fairly packed at 7 AM but there was still ample room to move around. The rig and gear that are provided by the crew is pretty crappy. My reel would get tangled every so often unless I placed by thumb while the line was being drawn out. The handle was almost ready to fall off, thank got i didn't hook a 10-20 lb. fish. The route that the boat tours wasn't so hot either. I got a few bites at the first stop but no real action after that. First, the boat went offshore from Manhattan Beach stopping twice, and then made its way to Sandy Hook. The amount of time I spent fishing versus the boat actually getting out to specific locations, it felt more like a Circleline cruise than a fishing boat. A few people caught some fluke that were keepers but anything under 19 inches had to be thrown back by regulation. My catch of the day, a behemoth blackfish, roughly 7 inches long. People's lines were getting tangled and snagged by the rocks or by each other. A decent first fishing trip and it was an enjoyable experience but I wouldn't go on a day trip with this boat again.

    Had the best birthday fishing trip on the Sea Queen VII! Tickets are easy to purchase online-- they sail three times a day; 7-12pm, 1-5pm, 7-12am. They provide everything you need to catch fish. You can bring coolers aboard, but drinks/beers must be in cans. We did the night trip as a group of 5 hoping to catch stripers/fluke/porgy. Almost all of us came home with huge fish, and the one who didn't wasn't really trying that hard anyway. :) The boat was huge, nice and clean. They have snacks and drinks available on board-- nothing fancy, but it'll do the trick if you made a mad dash from work and forgot to pick up dinner for the road. Bring cash!! The crew were all friendly, knowledgable and patient. We loved them, especially Max and DJ. Bring extra cash for these guys 'cause they are working hard. We had so much fun we wanted to go back as soon as we got off the boat! Guess we have to wait for next weekend...

    This was my second time on the Sea Queen VII. What I really like about them is that they are extremely welcoming to beginners (like us). They are happy to help any time and I love how excited they get when anyone catches anything. Very affordable, it's byob, $5 for the fishing rod, and $5 for the pool (optional) for whoever catches the biggest fish. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star is: (1) they don't have a recycling bin, all bottles and trash go in the same giant bucket and (2) there was a group of guys at the front that kept throwing their cigarette butts in the ocean which was really upsetting. Providing some sort of ashtray and perhaps announcing "don't throw your trash in the ocean" would be nice. I caught 2 short ones and my partner caught a keeper. Overall, a great time! Thanks, Sea Queen! We'll be back!

For $100, they'll bring you out from 6:30am-2:30pm, provide the pole, hook, jig, and explain everything you need to know. If you caught a fish, they provided buckets, and at they ends they gutted your fish for you. Everyone working on the boat was very genuine, really helpful, and wanted us to have a great time. In the middle of June you're looking for Bluefish, porgy, striped bass, and fluke. We went on a new moon, and apparently on new moons and full moons, the gravity shift changes the current and makes fishing more difficult. Long story short, we didn't catch a lot, but we had a great experience. They also gave us extra fish to bring home which was really nice. If you're in NYC and want to go fishing, this is an accessible spot to go!

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!!!

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.
