About Your Trip

From June 1 through November 30, Saturdays and Sundays are reserved for the Shark Boss Special. Join Capt. Tom and venture 3 to 20 miles offshore in pursuit of some of the ocean’s most legendary predators. This trip is built for anglers ready to battle hard-fighting sharks, including Mako, Thresher, Hammerhead, Blue Shark, Bull Shark, and more.

Whether you're new to shark fishing or a seasoned pro, everyone’s welcome aboard. Capt. Tom brings over 45 years of experience and will guide you through the action with expert know-how and a steady hand at the helm.

Everything you need is included—rods, reels, bait, tackle, and a fishing license. The boat is equipped for both comfort and capability, with a private toilet, air conditioning, GPS, fishfinder, live bait well, and other essential amenities to keep you ready for the next run.

A first mate is always onboard to assist and work hard to make your trip successful and enjoyable. It’s customary to tip the mate 20% of the fare for their efforts.

Get ready for serious offshore excitement—this is your chance to go toe-to-fin with some of the fiercest fish in the sea.

When you think of New York City, you probably imagine bright lights, busy streets, and that world-famous skyline – however, Captain Tom is here to show you a whole other side to the “Big Apple.” Join him in Brooklyn, where his mission is simple: “To put you on fish and make sure you have an enjoyable, comfortable, and safe time out on the water.”

Capt. Tom is a native New Yorker who’s been fishing for over 45 years. He’s explored many local fisheries, as well as those further afield, including Costa Rica, Mexico, and Aruba. He decided to turn his passion for angling into a career and offers first-class fishing trips that are suitable for anglers of all ages and abilities, including children. They’re completely customizable, too – let him know what you want to hook, and he’ll take you to the hottest spots around!

You’ll be fishing from your captain’s 36’ Luhrs offshore sportfishing vessel, perfectly built to tackle the waters of Jamaica Bay, as well as the open ocean. She can accommodate up to 6 guests, so bring along the entire family, or settle some scores with your best angling buddies! On board, you’ll find a full toilet, top-of-the-line navigational gear, life jackets for all ages, a multi-media system, and outriggers for maximum fishability.

Capt. Tom caters his trips to all types of anglers, so there’s something to suit every skill level. Want to take your family on an unforgettable vacation? Spend the day Fluke fishing – these fish are plenty of fun to catch, and also make for tasty table fare! Want to hook some game fish? Get ready for plenty of rod-bending action as you chase Striper (Striped Bass), Bluefish, and more. For hardcore anglers, come face-to-gills with some impressive marine life as you target a variety of Shark species.

Your trip includes Penn, Shimano, and Daiwa rods and reels, bait, tackle, and a fishing license. Come aboard to see another side of New York!

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
