Inshore Trips Aboard The Seahorse

Moondance Charters Of Montauk invites you on a fishing extravaganza in the waters of Montauk, New York. You will be offered a full service by Moondance Charters on a roomy and very safe 35′ Bruno Sportfisherman downeast.

Montauk is a fishing haven known for its excellent fishery and top boat captains. One of these top captains is Captain Sal Trapani. Captain Sal has fished the inshore and offshore waters of Montauk for over 35 years and is keen on showing you his favorite secret fishing spots.

They are able to take seasoned anglers out, but are also very good at teaching and are very patient with beginners. They love taking families with small children on the water and teaching them all about this amazing fishery that produces a wide variety of species.
