From the people who’ve been aboard
Captain Stu showed us a great time....remember all of our names (13 of us) and had two great deck hands John / Tray. Did everything he said they would and accommodate everyone on board.

We had the best time with Capt. Stu and his mate Luca yesterday. We weren’t fishing – we were a group of 8 on a family reunion of sorts who all grew up in Northport but all moved away years ago.

Had a great time with my son and his friend. Captain Stu was very knowledgeable of the local marine life and knew exactly where to fish. First Mate, Nick was super helpful.

I am definitely going back again this summer to Capt. Stu’s fishing camp. Capt. Stu is really funny, nice and helpful. It’s a great day with my friends learning how to fish…I just love it!
