I have been fortunate to experience on numerous occasions Captain Keith's ability to constantly put us on the fish. The crew is always courteous and Professional and take pride in their work and sincerely willing to accommodate your needs and requests. The Ambiance on the Boat is like no other that you had experience, extremely friendly and with the recognizable music that we have grown up on just adds to your enjoyable encounter on this ship. I highly recommend anyone that enjoys fishing and actually catching fish to take advantage of the Fin Chaser 2 you too will become a avid admire and dedicated customer.

After spending the day fishing aboard this party boat, I feel compelled to write a review of my experience. Let me begin by saying that Captain Keith is a true master at his craft. He made sure he put us on the fish, made sure he went around to every patron to make sure they are having a wonderful experience. I have been on many party boats in my 45 years of fishing. Some Captains NEVER leave the wheelhouse to check on their paying customers but Captain Keith was everywhere on the boat. He paid close attention to the kids as well. His mates are first class and Erick is a Godsend. This team UNDERSTANDS what Customer Satisfaction is!
The vessel is super clean, spacious, and modern. Bathrooms are spotless with working toilets! Rare in this part boat industry. I can see that the Captain pays close attention to detail as he has custom cutting boards on every rod holder with bait buckets attached. If you are a fisherperson, you know how important that is! (smile)
I highly recommend the Fin Chaser for your bottom fishing needs. There is simply nothing negative to say. I look forward to fishing with Captain Keith for many years to come.

In my experience, this is the finest boat in the Montauk party boat fleet. She’s a good boat; with good mates, clean, safe. She’s helmed by the best captain, Capt. Keith. No captain works harder to put you on fish. How many times have you been out on iffy days and been told that’s how it goes sometimes? Bah! Not this boat. Keith puts in the work ahead of time. If spots aren’t producing, he moves ... not sit there all day banging away at false bottom. Need an extra hour to help fill a few more coolers, he’ll get on the 1MC and ask can everyone put in another hour. Frankly most outings I’ve been on, we’re back early as fishing was that good. I’ve booked 1/2 the boat for family day outings with 7 kids along. They have fun, the brothers talk smack, we catch a bunch of fish and that evening it’s family fish fry for the community.
If you’ve been on other boats that gave you a less than stellar outing with empty hooks and loads of promises, change boats. I know who you’ve been on and just because their name is familiar in the fleet doesn’t mean they are the right boat; they’re not. Fin Chaser is. Give them a try and I think you’ll be back here posting your own glowing review.
Last note, check’em out on Facebook. Public page, Capt Keith puts his daily outing reports up for all to see. No BS “we had a fine day” reports that don’t show you anything but make it seems the day was amazing. This guy puts the proof right out there for all to see and comment.

My family totally enjoyed fishing for porgies on the Fin Chaser! We went on Saturday, 5/15/21 from 6 am to 12 pm. The boat is very clean and Captain Keith is very much engaged with his passengers and how well they are fishing. His playlist is also great! We'll definitely be back to fish again, we caught a ton of porgies! The whole crew including the mates were all very nice and courteous. We had a really nice experience on the Fin Chaser 👍

By far the best fishing experience I ever had has been on the Fin Chaser. Captain Keith is so knowledgeable and always manage to put us on the fish. The crew goes above and beyond to make sure the customers are given all the amenities and advice to experience a great day of fishing. I highly recommend the Fin Chaser for any fishing encounter regardless if solo, couples or family trips.

Awesome Trip as always with Captain Keith and crew. You have to respect and appreciate a Captain who will stay out extra hours to make sure his customers are happy. Great Boat, Great Mates and Great Captain. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommended.

Hands down this is best fishing party boat you could go on. The hospitality is second to none. The Captain will meet and greet you. The boat is clean and spacious his staff is always very friendly and helpful. The quality of service you will receive, I have never seen on any of the other boats and I have been on a few. The Captain will definitely put you on to fish. On my last experience just yesterday it was excellent, he pulled into on spot and we never left. I personally caught the total amount allowed for the day in under 2 hours and was able to help a few others out by catching some for them. Overall believe me this boat will be one of your best experiences on the water.

My group consisted of four men and we all had a great day. Captain Keith was not only a good captain, he was an excellent host. He put us where fish were and even gave us extra time to fish. He crew was very helpful and made us feel very comfortable. I highly recommend this fishing boat and captain. Thanks captain Keith.

We had an amazing time on Fin Chaser as always! Capt Keith work hard to find locations where we can get lots of porgies and sea bass. He wants you to reach your max limit and have a great time. The mate Caroline is super hard working, attentive and so nice. We can’t wait to go back to Fin Chaser!

Capt Keith has so much integrity and respect for the sea and his customers. It's not just fishing it's an experience. There is a reason they call it fishing and not catching. Sometimes the fish are just not biting but if they are biting somewhere Capt. Keith will find them. You never feel cheated on the Fin Chaser. His crew is outstanding and professional. Sometimes I would go on another boat closer to home. I always regret doing that.

We caught porgies all morning. Most people had their limit of 50 jumbo porgies then we went off shore a bit to catch large black sea bass. 7 fish limit well over the 15 inch minimum size. In the fall I believe he goes for blackfish and cod. Best to check the website finchaser 2.
