Fishing Charters in Montauk

22 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing charters put you on the water with a licensed captain, a rigged boat and local knowledge of where the fish are running. The market splits by trip length and water: an inshore or half-day trip commonly runs about $400-600 for the boat, while an offshore or full-day deep-sea trip lands closer to $1,000-2,000. Most captains price by the boat rather than per person, so a group of four splits the cost, and many include rods, reels, bait and tackle - always ask what is covered and what you bring. Rates vary by port, season and target species, so compare a couple of operators and confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the operator before you book.
