The 52 ft. sportfisherman (Little Hawk) custom built in Harkers Island, N.C. for fishing in comfort, 18' wide Coast Guard inspected vessel, with twin 871 Detroit Diesel engines. It is a charter boat like no other in Atlantic Highlands.

Licensed captains (2) with a total of over 61 years experience fishing in the Sandy Hook area. Experienced and courteous deck hands to tend to your needs.

We insure that you get the best trip, not worrying about how much fuel we are using. (Bait) fresh sacks of clams, not frozen and more then enough for the trip, when we use worms we don't cut them in half and we don't run out, we bring plenty of eels when we eel fish, your fish are kept on ice, we don't skimp on anything, and no extra charges.

Our main target is Striped Bass which we catch just about all season, if we have trouble catching Striped Bass then we switch to what ever fish is available at the time, Weakfish, Fluke, Bottom fish, or jig Bluefish, we don't lock you into one type of fishing.

As you may have guessed we have been in the Sandy Hook area for a long time. We run over 300 trips in a seven month season, that alone tells you something about our reputation.

Yes our price is slightly higher then the other boats in the area, but you get what you pay for. Just the comfort of the boat, it has a super large cockpit, with a very large cabin heated when needed, cushioned booths and cushioned bench seating, counter top, table, color TV with VCR, microwave, stereo, stand up head with fresh water sink, and a fresh pot of coffee for the morning trips.

You will find cheaper boats out there, but they won't compare to our boat and operation.

Ladies, children and non-fisherman are welcome. Let us make your day on the water more than what you expected.

Captains Joe Occhipinti Sr. & Jr.
