The website has some incorrect information they are working to get updated. The bay fishing is on the Lady Avalon and morning trips are 8:30-11:30 in the summer.
We had Capt Sam, with Mates Jack & Henry. Both mates were very good, but we had more interaction with Jack. He has an ideal personality to be a mate, interacting well with passengers, both kids and adults, while still making sure folks had baited hooks, helping with catches, etc.
The bay fishing had us with lines down in less than 30 min and I didn’t have to worry about not taking Dramamine. There is a head onboard to use during the trip as well. Parking is free at the marina where the boat docks. The shop offers a great breakfast bagel for just $5. Would definitely go with this crew again and look forward to “fish on”.

Captain Irv and Crew are TOP NOTCH. I have been on many charter fishing boats up and down the Jersey coast and without question, "Miss Avalon" reins supreme. The boat is pristine and with Captain Irv at the helm - the fishing was fantastic. Non-stop action with the great crew - quick to unhook the fish and re-bait the lines. The best fishing at the Jersey shore is aboard - Miss Avalon. Thank you Captain Irv and Crew for a wonderful time. Nancy W.

It is really fun fishing on the Miss Avalon. The captain and crew are knowledgeable and go out of their way to make the trip enjoyable. There are not always many fish, but just being on the ocean is a wonderful experience.

Team building on steroids! I recently chartered the Miss Avalon, my self and 46 others and we had a beautiful day on the ocean. This private event was fantastic, Capt Irv, deckhands Alex and Sam were super attentive and the fish biting. The boat is the perfect size, it was nice having just our party on the water. The boat has plenty of space to fish, indoor space with lunch tables to eat your packed lunch and when ur tired of fishing head up to the upper deck to sun and relax. Captain Irv, was so accommodating for my group, he interacted with the adults and the kids making all of us feel welcome. The location is fantastic, mins from Wawa to stock your cooler, and the pier has parking directly in front of the boat. There isn’t food for purchase onboard, so make sure you pack.

The only thing missing was more fish. My son did reel in the last fish of the day with the help of the deckhands. Both deckhands and the captain were accommodating to the young fishermen throughout the 4 hour trip which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend this trip to families and traveling fishermen who want to get off the dock and shore. License, tackle and bait were provided we took a cooler with drinks and snacks. We brought home dinner!

On Father's Day last month I took my dad fishing on the Miss Avalon. I had heard many great comments about the boat, crew, and fishing and decided to try it out. My Dad said it was the best Father's Day he's ever had. We both had a great time. The boat was spotless and had both men's and woman's restroom that were easily accessible. The crew/mates were polite and extremely helpful and were determined to make sure you catch a fish. Just about everyone on our trip caught fish. Captain Irv was visible throughout the trip and also helping on deck and determined to make sure everyone was catching fish. There was a large indoor sitting area on the boat where we sat and had our snacks. Our fish were fileted to perfection and enjoyed at dinner. If your looking to fish especially with your family, the Miss Avalon is a must.

We enjoyed a wonderful evening cruise on the Miss Avalon! We arrived at 6:15 for a two hour cruise around the salt marshes of Seven Mile island. Captain Irv, his son and wife were our crew and very hospitable. We had perfect weather and would highly recommend this cruise. We packed our own appetizers and cold beverages (which are not included in the price) and had a relaxing and lovely evening. A++!!

Great fun with very attentive staff. Smooth ride out to the water and got to fish for roughly 2 and a half hours. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely do it again. Plus we caught two fish which they filet and skin for you right on the boat.

My husband and I and our 6-year-old grandson will be staying in Cape May Court House from July 14th to 18th. We all love to fish! Can you give me information on types of fishing you offer, cost, and your availability?Thanks so very much!

Should be flounder in the bay. Lady Avalon is a nice mellow trip and the crew is great.
Miss Avalon is a little more serious and longer but still good family fare. The more serious stuff would be fishing 6 person charters going off shore probably to the Baltimore canyon for tuna. Awesome but not for the faint of heart. Several good ones leave from Wildwood and Cape May

We are first time fishermen. Is that okay? Do you provide rods and reels and give some pointers?
Written July 5, 2018
Absolutely you will arrive as a beginner and leave an expert. We will provide everything you need, rod, reel, bait, and instructions. We even bait your hook for you and will take off the fish you catch. You need to bring sunscreen. You can pick up sandwiches at Moran’s at the dock. We have a small snack shop on boat for drinks and chips. Fish on!

fish on the miss avalon since 1957 and loved it. was a much smaller boat "back in the day"
maybe 24 foot? I believe the captain back then was captain hurd's dad?Look foward to
getting back from denver, getting a hoagie at the dock to take on board and catching "flondo!"

we are first time fishermen. Is that a problem?
Written July 5, 2018
Are the evening bay sunset cruises available for very small parties of like 5 or 6 people perhaps to get in with another group charter? Sounds like it is charter only and not sure cost would work if only a few of us.
