Head 20–30 miles offshore for a 10-hour seabass fishing trip
10 Hours
Fish offshore waters 20–30 miles out in 90–130 ft depths on a 10-hour trip targeting seabass, porgies, and blues. Bring your own food and drinks and settle in for a day on the water with The Starlight Fleet.
No food or beverages are included. Gratuity for the onboard crew is appreciated.
After booking, cancellations and/or reduction in reservation size are not accepted unless your spot can be rebooked. If the captain cancels due to severe weather, you can reschedule (subject to availability) or receive a full refund.
Bring your own food and drinks. Hard alcohol is not permitted, and beer is limited to one 6-pack per person (cans only). Microwaves and coffee makers are available onboard.
No GPS devices are permitted. On offshore trips, do not use your cell phone until the boat is 1 hour from the dock on its return.
Board in reservation order with 1 rod only.
The trip will depart from [6200 Park Boulevard, Wildwood Crest, NJ 08260](https://goo.gl/maps/C755hvqnGM12).
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.
