Climb aboard with Captain Sal for an authentic Montauk fishing adventure, powered by over 35 years of experience and a lifelong passion for the sea. A US Coast Guard licensed captain, Sal’s fishing journey began as a young boy in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn—night crabbing with his dad and chasing fish with his uncle from Nellie Bly’s Marina. Those early days sparked a love for the water that’s taken him across the globe and brought him back to the waters he knows best.
From battling trophy Striped Bass to bottom fishing for Fluke, Sea Bass, Porgy, and Blackfish—or even heading offshore for Tuna and Shark—Captain Sal brings unmatched knowledge, skill, and energy to every trip. His goal is simple: to put you on the fish and make sure you have a great time doing it.
You'll head out aboard a roomy, well-equipped 35’ sportfishing boat designed for both comfort and performance. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or picking up a rod for the first time, Captain Sal and his friendly mate are there to guide you every step of the way....
