1/2Day 5 Hr Trip
If you don't have the time for a full day of fishing you can still enjoy all of the challenges, excitement and fun that is included in our full day trip's packed into five hours by choosing the half day trip! Your choice of quarry will be striped bass, bluefish, blackfish, fluke or porgies.

Full Day Trip 7 or 8 Hr Trip
Come and experience the challenges and excitement of fishing Long Island Sound for a full fun packed day (7 or 8 hours). Strict limits on Commercial fishing in the area have vastly improved the fishing. Your choice of quarry will be striped bass, bluefish, blackfish, fluke or porgies.  For an additional fee to cover the extra fuel, the rips of Montauk or Block Island can be explored.

Evening Bass Trip
By far the most exciting inshore trip offered. Many of the biggest bass are caught at night. Fishing the waters of Long Island Sound at night is guaranteed to bring your fishing adventures to a new level.

3 Hr After Work Special
Don't have the time to fish during the day because of work? Then the 3 hour After Work Special is for you. Your choice of quarry will be striped bass, bluefish, blackfish, fluke or porgies.

Fall Blackfish Special 5Hr Trip
As the weather cools the Blackfish begin to feed. Last year the blackfish season was unprecedented. Blackfish in the 10 pound range were quite common. This special is only offered during the month of November.

Custom Cruise
Relax and enjoy the beauty and serenity of Long Island Sound and its surrounding waters in the comfort of a 41' Hatteras. The captain will expertly guide you to the many Islands, ports and lighthouses the area has to offer. Please Contact Captain Kevin at
reelinboat@sbcglobal.net for a price on a custom cruise of your choice.

12 Hr Offshore
Come aboard and spend a full day offshore south of Block Island and Montauk. See all the life offshore, whales, dolphins, ocean sunfish and sea turtles....
Tuna: Come chase after Bluefin, Yellowfin, and Albacore south of Long Island. These trips usually consist of trolling or chunking. Since we are frequently offshore, we have the advantage of establishing patterns, so we don't waste time trying to find fish. It is also not uncommon to catch Sharks or Mahi-Mahi on this trip.
Shark: You will spend the day trying for Blue, Thresher or Mako shark. Sharking can be one of the most exciting fishing in the Northeast. With the last year being one of the best Mako years in recent history. COME CATCH A FISH OF A LIFETIME!!!!

Extended Day Offshore (+14 Hr)
This trip is required when the fish are more then a 4 hour run. In general on this type of trip we will set sail at 2:00 AM and be fishing on or near the edge shortly after sunrise.  In the past 4 years, this type of trip has been generally required to regularly produce yellow fin and albacore tuna. Most of our successful single day tuna trips have required this type of trip.

Canyon Trip (2days, 1 night)
Come on the most exciting trip available in the Northeast. Fish the canyons for two days and one night for Yellowfin, Albacore and Big Eye tuna. Some of these fish are in the 200 lb class. The first day you arrive at the canyon, and troll for the day. Here you have the opportunity to catch Wahoo, Mako and occasionally White or Blue Marlin. At sunset, you will start bait fishing for the evening. Tuna will be your target. Most of the large tuna will be caught from sunset to sunrise. While fishing at night we will also fish for Swordfish, which is a bonus on any trip when caught.

Spend the night before onboard
Spend the night onboard the Reelin the night before your trip and avoid the uncertainties of the early morning commute and its resultant problems. The Reelin comfortably sleeps up to six passengers. She is equipped with a full entertainment system including TV/VCR/DVD with cable TV and AM/FM/CD Stereo. The Reelin is heated for any cool evenings. She has a fully equipped galley including a microwave oven. There are private head and shower facilities on the boat as well as at the marina club house.  We provide your bedding and will have fresh coffee for you in the morning. We are the only boat in the Tri-State area that offers this option, all for $120.  This is much less then several motel rooms for a party of six.
