Norma-K III Fishing operates out of Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, offering a range of sportfishing and sightseeing cruises tailored to families, groups, and anglers. The Norma-K III is a charter and party boat that runs half-day, three-quarter-day, full-day, and specialty fireworks cruises from Jenkinson's Pier and nearby slips. Regular trips include morning and afternoon half-day fluke trips, a three-quarter-day fluke, a full-day striped bass trip, night fishing, and seasonal fireworks cruises on Thursdays and the 4th of July.
The vessel provides an air-conditioned and heated cabin, a galley with snacks, rod rentals, free bait on certain trips, fillet cleaning, and a friendly crew to assist anglers and sightseers. Safety and comfort are emphasized through professional crew assistance and on-board amenities suitable for families and experienced fishermen alike. Walk-on passengers are accepted when space allows, and trips are designed for a range of skill levels—from first-time anglers to seasoned fishermen seeking larger catches.
