Boat Charters

Whether you choose to fish the open seas, placid bays, crystal clear backwater flats, or deep blue offshore canyons, the Shore Catch captains have spent their lifetimes fishing the inshore and offshore waters of the Jersey Shore. From our colorful tiderunner weakfish run every spring, to NJ’s famed fall striped bass and bluefish blitzes, the central Jersey coast offers world class saltwater fishing for any level of experience.Jim Freda

Our custom fleet of boats run from Sandy Hook, Manasquan Inlet, and Barnegat Bay to offer you the best opportunity to have the fishing experience of a lifetime. These boats are built with traditional wide flared bows and classic lines that offer you a soft, dry, and dependable ride. All our boats are built for the Northeast fisherman and can be compared to no others. They are simply the finest fly and light tackle boats on the water today and you can rest assured that our Captains will put you on the fish like no others.

USCG Licensed CaptainMost important of all, every Shore Catch Guide is a Licensed United States Coast Guard Captain and every boat in the Shore Catch fleet meets or exceeds the United States Coast Guard Marine Safety Equipment requirements.
