It just takes some getting used to. I own a charter boat, yet still find the time to get out on a party boat a few times a season to enjoy the camaraderie that party boat fishing offers. Party Boats can provide great family fun, while remaining relatively easy on your wallet. Most Party Boats remain inshore , fishing for Montauk's numerous bottom species or legendary Striped Bass and Bluefish. Mates work just like a waiter or waitress at your favorite restaurant.
Tips are their major source of income.
Take care of your mates and they will most likely take care of you. Party Boat fishing is a great way to introduce yourself to the incredible fishing that Montauk has to offer - and you just may become highly addicted to this great way of getting out on the water. Weekends are particularly busy, and reservations are suggested. You and your chosen party are chartering a private fishing boat to take you to where the fish are. The vast majority of Montauk's charter boats are licensed to carry up to a maximum of six passengers.
