Since 1976, the Cicchitti family’s Starlight Fleet has been sharing the magic of Cape May County’s waters. What began as one humble fishing boat has grown into a six-vessel fleet offering everything from reel-bending deep-sea trip...
The crew here is the real draw. Across fishing trips, dolphin watching cruises, and even a pirate ship experience, reviewers consistently highlight how friendly, patient, and attentive the staff are. First-timers feel genuinely welcomed, fish get filleted onboard for you to take home, and the guides have a knack for keeping both kids and adults entertained. The dolphin watching sunset cruise in particular gets a lot of love, with drinks, snacks, dancing, and reliable dolphin sightings making it a well-rounded outing. There is one recurring friction point worth knowing about: a few guests have had frustrating interactions with the ticketing booth staff, particularly around third-party bookings. It seems isolated to one person and does not reflect the onboard experience, but if you are booking through an outside platform, it may be worth confirming your reservation directly beforehand to avoid any hassle at check-in. Overall, this fleet offers something for a wide range of visitors, from serious anglers chasing sea bass and grouper to families looking for a fun, low-key cruise. The onboard crew clearly takes pride in what they do, and repeat visitors are common. If you are looking for a water-based experience with staff who genuinely seem to care, this is a solid choice.
