The Fishing Charter Long Island Locals Keep Coming Back To

Over 200,000 people have come aboard Celtic Quest since Captain Des O'Sullivan launched this fleet out of Port Jefferson back in 2001. That's a lot of mornings on the water, a lot of porgies brought over the rail, and a lot of people who searched for a fishing charter near me and ended up having one of the best days they can remember. If you're on Long Island — or making the two-hour drive from the city — there's a

The phones have been put away for a while. Someone — usually the last person you'd expect — just hauled in the biggest fish of the day. And the whole group erupts. Not polite office laughter. Real, genuine, surprised laughter. That's the moment a private charter corporate outing
