About Your Trip

Get ready for an offshore fishing trip targeting some of the ocean's most sought-after game fish. Suitable for anglers of all skill levels, this canyon fishing adventure takes you approximately 100 miles offshore to productive waters where Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Albacore, Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, and Wahoo may be found, depending on water temperatures and current fishing conditions.

To maximize your opportunities, the crew utilizes a variety of proven techniques, including trolling spreader bars, high-speed trolling, jigging, popping, and chunking. Whether you're watching the trolling spread come to life or working a jig deep below the boat, these offshore waters offer exciting fishing action.

You'll fish aboard a 2020 Grady-White 336 Canyon powered by twin Yamaha 425 XTO engines. Built for offshore performance, this center console provides 360-degree fishability while offering a comfortable ride in a variety of conditions. The fully climate-controlled cabin features a private head, microwave, coffee maker, and bunk. The boat is also equipped with advanced Garmin electronics, radar, GPS mapping, autopilot, Sirius Radio, and a FLIR night vision camera. Safety is a top priority, with all required Coast Guard equipment onboard, as well as an EPIRB, life raft, and satellite communications.

All tackle, bait, and ice are provided, including custom trolling rods paired with Shimano 50-, 80-, and 130-class offshore reels, along with jigging and popping setups. A Captain and Mate will be onboard throughout the trip to assist anglers and keep lines in the water.

Just bring food, drinks, sunscreen, and weather-appropriate clothing. Catch is shared between the customer and crew, and customers will have plenty of fish to take home.

About Your Guide

Damian C.

Independent Guide

Hi I’m Damian “Captain D”. I am a certified Master Captain. I am licensed and insured to run Charters in NYS. I hold all the permits needed for the species we target.

I grew up on Shelter Island fishing these waters from April to December. I starting as a little kid with a bamboo rod, fishing off the dock and have progressed to be a master of my trade. I’m a happy upbeat guy who loves to teach and share. My thrill is watching someone catch their trophy fish or seeing a kid catch their first fish. I’m energetic and will frequently be the one saying “one more drift” if the bite is on.

Let me take you out for a day that will be sure to build great memories for a lifetime.

What makes you different from other guides?

Any good guide knows where the fish are and how to catch them. What sets me apart is my upbeat personality and absolute enthusiasm of teaching and watching customers catch either their 1st fish, personal best fish, or trophy fish.
