Know Before you Go!

Only the captain can decide if the weather is unsafe.

Having done over 3,000 of these trips, keeping safe is top priority.

Even when there are strong winds and the news is scaring people, NY Harbor is very protected from storm waves and much of the wind, unlike the Atlantic Ocean.
Generally, trips are not canceled if the chance of rain during the actual hours of the trip is less than 60%.

This determination is made no longer than 4 hours before your scheduled start time, as looking at the forecast the day before is not accurate enough.
- For example: If your trip is 9 AM to 12 PM, and at 10 AM the forecast calls for a 60% chance of rain, you can cancel

We enjoy the children! They are the future of fishing, and it’s really important to us that they have a great time.

2. They won’t get bored because there is too much to see: helicopters, fireboats, and ferry waves to jump for a fun ride. You will also go under all the famous bridges and stop to shoot a picture in front of the Statue of Liberty while listening to interesting facts.
