Welcome to Captain Dave’s Charters, Long Beach Island, New Jersey's premier charter fishing service. We are pleased to introduce our newest vessel, Benita J. Custom built on the coast of Maine in 2019, she is a true downeast style sport fisherman. Benita J is equipped with all of the latest marine electronics and has powerful Volvo 670hp diesel engine which provides a 24 knot cruise.
The boat also has a full private head, Sirius Satellite Radio, full galley, bunks, and plenty of room to accommodate up to six passengers. Our goal is provide each and every client with a “wicked” fishing experience, while riding in stability and comfort.
Captain Dave’s Charters offers sport fishing trips from Long Beach Island, NJ for the professional to the novice fisherman. Depending on where the fish are located, we will depart from either Beach Haven, NJ using Little Egg Inlet (south end) or Waretown, NJ using Barnegat Inlet (north end). Offshore canyon trips vary from a day troll to an overnighter. Fishing grounds are the Hudson Canyon to the Wilmington Canyon and every lump and ledge in-between. Inshore Striped Bass trips run out of Barnegat Inlet and are only offered in the month of November.
On our offshore trips, you can expect to catch:
Big-Eye Tuna - Yellowfin Tuna - Albacore Tuna - Bluefin Tuna - Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) - White Marlin - Blue Marlin and Wahoo.
Long Beach Island is in a perfect position on the New Jersey coast to reach the canyons.
