Celtic Quest Fishing Fleet has been family-owned and operated out of Port Jefferson since 2002, with thousands of trips and generations of Long Island families aboard. Every trip is all-inclusive — rods, reels, bait, tackle, and your fishing license are covered — and our crew fillets and bags your catch before you step off the boat.
Weekday trips (Monday–Friday, 9 AM–2 PM) are $80 for adults, $75 for seniors, and $65 for kids. Weekend and evening 4-hour half-day trips are $70 for adults, $65 for seniors, and $60 for kids. Veterans save an additional $5 on any trip. Every trip is all-inclusive — rods, bait, and tackle are provided at no extra charge. Just bring your food and drinks. See dates and book online. You can see every trip, sailing time and fare on our Long Island fishing trips page.
We sail from Port Jefferson Harbor on Long Island’s North Shore, about 60 miles east of NYC, which makes us an easy New York fishing charter — and Port Jefferson trips run all season long. In May we also sail out of Jamesport, and in the fall we run trips from our dock in Mattituck, NY. We fish the calm, protected waters of Long Island Sound — typically 20 minutes to an hour from the dock, wherever the fish are biting. Connecticut guests can even arrive via the Bridgeport–Port Jefferson Ferry, which docks steps from our boats. Not sure which port your trip leaves from? Just give us a call at (631) 928-3926.
No experience needed — most of our guests are beginners, and our mates help with every step, from baiting hooks to reeling in your first fish. Everything is included: rod, reel, bait, tackle, and fishing license. Just bring food, drinks, sunscreen, and a small cooler for your fillets.
It changes with the season: fluke, porgies, sea bass, striped bass, bluefish, and blackfish are the mainstays on Long Island Sound. Spring and fall striper fishing is a season highlight. Check our Fish of the Season page or the trip calendar to see what’s biting right now.
Absolutely — family trips are our specialty. We recommend ages 5 and up, kids 12 and under sail at a child rate, and the boats have clean restrooms, an inside cabin with heat, and life jackets in every size. Non-fishing guests are welcome too.
Yes — the Celtic Quest IV and Celtic Grace are available for private charters: birthdays, corporate outings, team building, bachelor parties, scout trips, and memorials. Open-boat trips run daily in season, and reservations are required — book online or call (631) 928-3926.
