SKIMMER FISHING ENTERPRISES INC. CHARTER SERVICES

Come and enjoy the great outdoors on Long Island’s unique South Shore. The "SKIMMER" is a 23 foot Mako center console sport-fishing boat. It is powered by a 225 horsepower Mercury OptiMax outboard engine. It is equipped with all the latest electronics and Coast Guard approved safety equipment. The newest and finest in fishing tackle including Rogue Rods, Shimano, Van Staal, Penn, Accurate Reels and Sufix Line is provided to add to your fishing experience. All bait is provided and very fresh. Very often we start the day by catching fresh bait with the cast net.  Bathroom facilities are always within a 5 minute ride from the fishing grounds.

Fishing trips depart from my private residence in Babylon, New York or from any of the western Fire Island communities. All we ask is that you provide your own food and beverage and wear  boating shoes or sneakers with light colored soles.

Half day trips are four hours of fishing. Full day trips are six or more hours of fishing.

To book a date a deposit of $100 is required. The deposit is fully refundable with a minimum of 72 hours notice of cancellation. We will make a recommendation as to the best time for fishing and will work with your schedule. We are flexible and will work out alternative dates in case of bad weather.
