Charter Prices Aboard the "Compass Rose" Captain Dave offers private inshore charters ranging from 4 to 8 hours aboard the "Compass Rose". These trips are all based on Ocean fishing out to the local reefs and ocean lumps for sea bass, fluke, bluefish, black-fish, striped bass, and croakers.  The trips are based on one to five anglers.  Add $50 for the sixth passenger.  There will be NO Fuel Surcharge added to the price of the trip.  From past experiences, the best choice is the 6 hour "Tide Trip".  This provides the angler the opportunity to fish the entire tide and allows for ample time to fish different locations.  All tackle, bait, and ice are included in this price. I recommend the client bring what they want to eat and drink, sunglasses, a hat, and a windproof/waterproof jacket for adequate comfort. Coolers for your catch, food and drinks are provided on board so please do not bring your own.  Private charters also include fish cleaning and packaging to take home.      NOT ALL CHARTER SERVICES ARE CREATED EQUAL. "Half day" -  4 hour charter -- $395 "Tide Trip" -  6 hour charter -- $575 "Full Day Fishing Safari" -  8 hour charter -- $700 OPEN BOAT SPECIAL! Like to fish but your friends or family don't and you do not want to charter the whole boat by yourself.  Beginning this July through the end of Fluke season, I will be running open-boat trips on Fridays and Saturdays out to the ocean reefs. There has been enough interest to start open boat trips.  These trips will give singles and small groups the opportunity to go fishing on a private charter at a fraction of the cost.  The trip will last for 6 hours (7am to 1pm) and will be $125/ angler.  I will need a minimum of three anglers to run the trip.  All bait and tackle will be provided.  All the fish will be individually tagged and placed in the same ice chest until we return so please do not bring your own cooler.  There is also a separate cooler available for your food and drinks.  Fish cleaning is additional for open boat trips and is available upon request when we return to the dock.  Email or call me to reserve a spot beginning July 11th.   Request A Charter: Use this form when requesting a charter date more than 7 days in advance.  Otherwise, please call Captain Dave directly for availability.
