Finatic Sport Fishing Charters is a Neptune City, New Jersey–based charter operator offering guided fishing and scenic boat trips along the Jersey Shore and in the Northeast canyons.
The charter operates a 36ft Contender for canyon and tile trips and provides a mix of private and open-boat options for inshore, midshore and offshore fishing. Trip lengths range from flexible 6-hour outings up to 16-hour canyon runs, including 10-hour Mahi Inshore trips and 12-hour tuna excursions up to 75 miles offshore.
Available trip types include Mahi Inshore (with optional midshore/offshore upgrades), Ocean Striper trips offered as private or open-boat charters, inshore bottom fishing for sea bass, fluke and porgy, canyon tile fishing with electric reels and provided bait, Fall Bluefin trips using trolling or jigging, and a Day Canyon 16-hour tuna/tilefish/mahi trip on a comfortable 36-foot boat with air conditioning and a bathroom.
Most trips accommodate up to six anglers, while the Day Canyon trip is limited to five anglers. Many listings state that all gear and bait are provided.
