Christy PierceRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCan't wait to go again!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on July 29, 2026 • 3 adultsMy husband & I took our 18yr old son on an Offshore fishing charter with Jason and his father, on ShayJay Charters. They were excellent fisherman. They knew right where to take us so that my son could have an incredible experience. We caught 2 huge King Mackerel, 3 barracudas, 1 large Spade/Angel fish and 3 tiny Sea Bass. It was so much fun. We only kept the Mackerel and they cleaned and bagged them for us then told us of a restaurant down the street that perfectly cooked it up for us. We has such a great time. We would Highly Recommend them to anyone and everyone.

4 Hour trip inshore/jetty on October 30, 2026 • 3 adultsDue to weather, our deep sea adventure got canceled and we were so bummed. Captain Jason was bummed for us, but he was able to accomodate to our schedule to provide an in shore experience that resulted in catching different species of fish. Would recommened to anyone looking for a trip that feels like your spending a day with your favorite uncle who owns a boat and helps you fish!
Beatriz Bonini5.0VerifiedMy son was happy so I was happy
3-Hour trip inshore/jetty - 7:00 AM on September 20, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had a great fishing trip! My son really enjoyed the experience and caught several fish, including a medium-sized black drum—the biggest fish he has ever caught from the beach! He also caught a few other nice-sized fish. We had a wonderful time. The captain was very kind, attentive, and helpful. He also responded promptly to all my questions before I made the booking. We would definitely recommend this experience!

James WelchRepeat angler4.7VerifiedGreat Family of Three Day on the Water
3-Hour trip inshore/jetty - 7:00 AM on January 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childMy wife, eight year old son and I did a three hour guided trip with Jason. His father also tagged along and both were excellent guides. My son had a blast and wound up catching 15 fish from five different species. My wife and I both caught over ten fish each. We also saw the return of a Space X booster rocket, saw several dolphin swim by and even saw a sea turtle. It was a great trip and we would highly recommend Jason if you are considering a fishing trip to the Cape.
Louis Leonardo5.0VerifiedGreat fun trip! Highly Recommend.

I went on this fishing trip with my son and had an awesome experience with Captain Jason and his first mate Randy, who is also his dad. It made for a really cool father-son, father-son trip that we both really enjoyed. We booked the charter specifically to go after sharks. Even though we didn’t end up landing one, Captain Jason worked incredibly hard the entire trip moving us between multiple spots and trying different approaches to get us on fish. Sometimes the fish just aren’t cooperating, but you could clearly see the effort and dedication he put in to make sure we had every possible chance. Both Captain Jason and Randy were friendly, knowledgeable, and great to spend time with on the water. You can tell they genuinely care about giving people a good experience. It was a great father-son team and they made the trip fun and memorable for me and my son. I would absolutely book another charter with them again and look forward to coming back to try for those sharks another day. Highly recommend!

Captain Jay is not only a great captain and first mate all wrapped into 1 (he often has his dad with him as his helper, but he was solo on my trip with my son), he’s just a genuinely great person. We had a great time fishing many different spots around the jetty. Plenty of poles ready and endless live bait. We will be back for sure.
