About Your Trip

Climb aboard for a full-throttle offshore adventure with Captain Don out of Hampton Bays! Running from June through early November, this 9-hour trip is your ticket to the heart-pounding action the Northeast Atlantic is known for. Whether you're a seasoned angler chasing big pelagics or a first-timer looking to test your mettle, Captain Don brings serious know-how—and a few local secrets—to give you the best shot at glory.

You’ll set out bright and early at 6:00 AM aboard a sleek 43’ Tiara sportfisher built for offshore action. With outriggers, a full suite of gear, and enough muscle to take you deep into the tuna grounds, this boat is the real deal. There’s room for up to six passengers, and with a toilet on board and a spacious deck layout, you’ll be comfortable while you chase some of the most coveted fish in the ocean.

Captain Don is a veteran of these waters and knows exactly where to run and what tactics to deploy depending on the bite. Trolling is the name of the game for much of the day, especially when targeting high-speed predators like Yellowfin and Bluefin Tuna, Albacore, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and even the occasional White or Blue Marlin. If the conditions are right, there’s also the chance to bottom fish or switch up techniques—Captain Don is always ready to pivot to put fish in the boat.

The fish list here reads like a trophy room: Yellowfin, Bigeye, and Bluefin Tuna, plus Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Sharks like Mako and Thresher that will give you an unforgettable fight. Marlin and Swordfish are also in the mix if luck swings your way—this is big game fishing at its finest.

There’ll be a First Mate on board to help keep lines tight and anglers dialed in. Mates typically work for tips, so if you’re happy with the hustle (and you will be), a 20% gratuity is the norm. All rods, reels, and lures are included, and while live bait is available, it’s best to check ahead if you’ll be catching it yourself.

This trip is also family-friendly—kids are welcome to join the chase! Just be sure to double-check that there’s a life vest available in the right size and pack some snacks to keep everyone happy during the ride.

No fishing license? No problem—everything’s covered so you can show up and fish stress-free. Just bring your sun gear (think polarized shades, reef-safe sunscreen), drinks, and any extra food for the day. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but leave the hard stuff and glass bottles at home.

From high-speed trolling runs to that moment the reel screams and the fight begins, this trip with Captain Don delivers an unforgettable offshore fishing experience. Book your date, bring your crew, and get ready to chase down the giants that roam off the Long Island coast!
