This coastal town is a hub for anglers drawn to its rich fishing grounds and diverse marine life. Jersey Cape Guide Service offers a range of expertly guided charters designed to put you on the water and into the action, whether your goal is bottom fishing, chasing striped bass, or hooking into a summer shark.
Operating from vessels like the 24' Custom Eastern CC and the 18' Scout Flats Boat, Jersey Cape Guide Service matches the right boat and trip length—four or six hours—to your fishing ambitions and schedule.

The waters around Sea Isle City feature sandy bottom flats, rocky reefs, and deeper offshore channels, creating diverse habitats that attract a wide range of species.
