The Gambler is a deep-sea fishing operation based in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, that runs a 90-foot super cruiser offering a variety of fishing trips. The vessel features built-in underwater night lights that attract sea life, spacious decks, modern amenities, and on selected trips a comfortable, heated cabin for colder months.
The Gambler sails under U.S. Coast Guard certification and operates with a professional, dedicated crew who provide hands-on assistance for anglers of all experience levels. Crew services include baiting, rigging, and guidance during the trip, making the experience accessible to both experienced anglers and first-timers.
Trip offerings target a range of species and trip lengths: short fluke-focused outings (1/2 day and 3/4 day), specialized offshore winter jumbo sea bass trips with heated cabin comfort, and extended canyon expeditions (24 Hour Canyon Special and 30 Hour Canyon Elite) aimed at tuna and swordfish. Some voyages emphasize reduced passenger counts for added comfort on longer runs, and specific trips provide all necessary equipment and on‑board amenities.
