We cannot wait for next time, and neither should you.

My personal favorite is to take a longer afternoon sail, then catch sunset on the way back. Love all the water toys (esp the floating bar!), then just chillaxing on the deck & bean bag chairs...seems like every year there's something new! Thank you both for everything as always, and will start counting down to the next time!

This summer we had more than one family reunion with multiple adults and children of ages ranging from 3 years to 19 years old. The highlight of each event was providing them with the opportunity to participate in Eric's Camp and they're still talking about the awesome experience. Simply witnessing Eric's red kayaks out on the water is such a joyful experience but his and his staff member's skills make this an adventure not to be missed! They are very knowledgable and organized and afford their guests exposure to marine wildlife and the natural world that can't be missed! Eric has a truly unique personality and a gift for engaging people of all ages in the special beauty of the waterways to which we have access. Don't miss the opportunity for you and your children to share in this matchless adventure!

My boyfriend and I experienced every…read moreboater's nightmare when our first boat in less than 24 hours developed serious issues and started taking on water around 7:30-8:00 p.m. We truly thought we were going to lose it. Paul, Pat, Tyler and everyone at Surfside 3 Marina went above and beyond in every possible way. Even though it was late at night, Paul opened the marina around 11:00 p.m. so we could get the boat out of the water before it sank. That alone speaks volumes about the kind of people they are. What amazed us even more was that they diagnosed the problem, kept us informed every step of the way, and had the boat repaired in less than a day. Throughout the entire process, everyone was incredibly kind and professional. The level of customer service, communication, and genuine care we received was second to none. The entire team turned one of the worst boating experiences we've ever had into one that reminded us there are still businesses that truly care about their customers. Thank you, Paul, Pat, Tyler, and everyone at Surfside 3 Marina, for everything you did for us. We are beyond grateful and will recommend you to anyone who needs a marina they can trust. 5/5 - Exceptional service from exceptional people!

His large boat is extremely comfortable and takes around six people, I cannot think of a better way to spend a couple of hours, in the luxury of a beautiful boat enjoying the magnificent waters of the East End. My friend and I booked the charter for a two hour trip, Captain John was very accommodating and took us at the last minute, and it was the highlight of our stay on Shelter Island. I highly recommend booking Tubby's charters, you won't be sorry! We are already planning a repeat trip with a group of friends as soon as Captain John has space to take us as he is very fully booked as many people go back for return trips year after year. Thank you, Captain John , you rock!

Captain Ernie was one of four different guides my group used over three days in mid September 2019…read more He knows the waters around Montauk well and his boat is well maintained. The problem we encountered was a pretty sour attitude from our guide...to a high degree actually. Given his fee ($800, easily the highest of the four guides we used) and his relatively small boat (the smallest of the four we used), you'd think he make up for it with a good nature. Nope. The day on the water was tough and he had to work hard to put us on fish, which he did. All day long. That's a plus. The problem is, all the captains we used worked their rears off. They just did so at rates and with attitudes that were much more reasonable.

I am sure the best fly fisherman will be well served by Ernie's abilities and knowledge. And then…read morethere's guys like me. I spend a lot of time fishing, and you'd think I would be better at it than I am. I do not spend a lot of time fly fishing, but I love each time I have gotten out there. Not only did Ernie get us to the fish, he gave us clear instructions to stay at opposite ends of the boat, kept us orderly and to work on our casts regardless of the conditions. First day was WINDY! I am a return customer and will continue to be. I learn more each time we fish together and Ernie's willingness and enthusiasm out there on Monday and back at 'em Tuesday was something that I will always remember. Watch the way he approaches fish vs some of the other guides, he is always aware and that allows him to put you in the most optimal spot to engage from. My cousin and I caught 18 false albies in pretty sporty conditions Monday and I got 10 the next morning in perfect autumn weather...if you have never fished this area in the fall, its impossible for me to describe it accurately...check out some of the photos at www.flyfishmontauk.com Sure its his job, but Ernie French is there for fish and for the folks he's sharing this amazing fishery with. His is a steward of the environment. Nothing short of outstanding!
