We had a blast with Arthur the first time so we booked another trip a few days later!  We caught a number of fish and definitely want a rematch with the stripers!  Arthur is knowledgeable and very personable with s great rate!  I definitely recommend booking with him!

What a great experience!  Weather did not cooperate in the morning but we still managed to have a great day! He gave us extra time because of the weather, and helped my 12 year old catch some nice ones despite the weather. we will be back for sure.

Arthur was a fantastic guide and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a guide in the NYC area. He is very knowledgeable and we caught several fish. Great boat and great gear.

It was an excellent fishing trip with a super friendly guide Arthur.
Althought we had a strong windy day, the captain advised us correctly and we got plenty of stripe bass and blue fish!

Being an angler in Manhattan, you don’t expect to do much fishing. Your usually limited to a crowded public park or pulling shopping carts out of the East River. However after discovering Captain Cortez charter, I finally found a way to fish how I want when I want. A quick 30 min drive from the city puts you in a landscape anglers only dream of having targeting a variety of species in a small boat ideal for serious fisherman and novices alike. I would recommend this charter to anyone and will be going again soon.
