Captain Dave offers a private inshore six hour fishing charter trip aboard the "Compass Rose".
This trip is based on ocean fishing out to the local reefs and ocean lumps for sea bass, fluke, bluefish, black fish, striped
bass, and croakers. The trip is based on a maximum of five passengers. Add $50 for the sixth passenger. There
will be NO fuel surcharge added to the price of the trip. As part of the private charter service, Captain Dave will
clean and package your catch to take home.

From past experiences, the best choice for fishing
the the ocean in the LBI area is the "Tide Trip". This provides the angler the best opportunity to fish the
entire tide and allows for ample time to fish different locations. All tackle, bait, and ice are included in the price
of the trip. I recommend the crew to bring food and drinks, sunglasses, a hat, and a windproof/waterproof
jacket for adequate comfort. Coolers for your catch, food and drinks are provided on board so please do not bring your own
to save deck space.
OPEN
BOAT SPECIAL!
Like to fish but
your friends or family don't and you do not want to charter the whole boat by yourself. Beginning this July 11, 2015
through the end of fluke season, I will be running open-boat trips on Saturdays out to the ocean reefs.
There has been enough interest to start open boat trips. These trips will give singles and
small groups the opportunity to go fishing on a private charter at a fraction of the cost. The trip will last 6 hours
(7am-1pm) and will be $125/angler. I will need a minimum o three anglers to run the trip. All bait and tackle
will be provided. All the fish will be individually tagged and placed in a community ice chest until we return so please
do not bring your own cooler. I will also supply a cooler with ice for your food and drinks. Fish cleaning is
an additional cost for open boat trips and is available upon request when we return to the dock.
Burial At Sea
We can accommodate up to 6 passengers so you can conduct
a private ceremony of spreading your loved one's ashes aboard the Compass Rose. We follow the EPA standads for a burial at
sea. We will provide a certificate with the exact latitude and longitude of the location of the committal service.
The entire process takes about two hours from the time you leave the dock to the time you return. Please call the Captain to make the necessary arrangements.
Price $325.00
A deposit of $100.00 is required for all clients booking fishing

a cancellation is made within 7 days of the charter, then the deposit will be retained for the trip that was scheduled. Cancellations

and early morning fog and rain often turns into sunny afternoons. If the trip is cancelled due to weather, the captain
will work with the client to reschedule another date. If the client cannot reschedule for any reason, then the deposit
will be returned in full. Lenth of trip is determined from the time the boat leaves the dock to the time it returns
