About Your Trip

Go aboard with Captain Kenny to battle the East Coast's apex predators: sharks! On this full-day trip, you'll explore the nearshore waters around Montauuk, NY, hunting down Blue, Mako, and Thresher Sharks, which come closer to shore in the summertime. These fast, predatory fish can reach 400 pounds, and are known as some of the fastest, hardest-fighting fish in the ocean. Thresher Sharks in particular are known for their acrobatic jumps and hard runs, making them a challenging opponent for any angler.

About Your Guide

Certified Damn Good Guide

Captain Kenny has over 40 years of experience on the water. He fell in love with fishing at an early age, fishing with his dad and grandfathers in City Island, Jamaica Bay, and the Rockaways. Now, after years of fishing all over New York and beyond, Kenny is an avid angler with a vast knowledge of many species including Striped Bass, Fluke, Seabass, Porgy, and Tautog to Sharks and Tuna. Captain Kenny fished for giant Tuna up on the Cape for many years before deciding to start his own business in Montauk. Together with his first mate, Kenny will go above and beyond to make sure you have a fun day out, catch plenty of fish, and come back for more!

Captain Ken tried trolling for stripers in the early AM but they were not cooperating. So we went bottom fishing and had a blast with porgies, sea bass, and fluke. Plenty of fillets for dinner! All had a great time. Will be back.
