Surrounded by rivers and bays, Staten Island is New York City’s prime fishing destination. Hit the shallow waters to tackle some of the East Coast’s favorite fish, or use it as a base to go offshore. With the free ferry from downtown Manhattan taking just 25 minutes, there’s no excuse not to come fishing in Staten Island!
The Upper and Lower Bays are all that you can explore aboard some charters out of the city, but a Staten Island fishing charter will take you to the Raritan Bay too. Get your hands on delicious Fluke, Porgy, Seabass, and Weakfish, along with monster Striped Bass, and head home with some of these waters’ greatest prizes.
The more extreme among you can hit the depths of the Atlantic and go after that trophy catch, as you troll for the bite of Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna, Cod, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, and more.
For these offshore adventures, a full day trip is a must. Both beginners and experts alike are welcome aboard half-day trips, as productive waters close to shore mean that maxing out is a possibility. If it’s your first time, you’ll get a feel for the water as you learn the ropes, while avid anglers can go after plenty of prized fish.
Whatever you choose, you’re in for a thrilling experience with everything you need on board. Come escape the city and engage in some of the East Coast’s finest fishing!
