Second Choice Charters — Montauk Fishing Charters & Cruises

Second Choice Charters is all about getting groups on fish—lots of big, tasty fish. Whether you want a relaxed private cruise or a serious fishing trip, their two-boat fleet handles groups of all sizes. 

The lineup features a 32’ Blackfin twin diesel and a 27’ Downeast Center Console single diesel.

Captain Jeff Nichols has been running charters for over a decade, backed by years of experience mating offshore boats. Passionate about the sport, he loves introducing newcomers to angling just as much as pulling out all the stops for seasoned Sportfisher's chasing a true trophy. 

Capt. Jeff runs all inshore trips personally without a mate, guaranteeing dedicated, hands-on guidance for everyone on board.

Both vessels offer quick, reliable rides to the fishing grounds powered by dependable diesel engines. Outfitted with state-of-the-art marine electronics, ample live well space, and heavy-duty ice capacity, they are fully rigged for everything from quick runs to mid- and long-range trips.

Second Choice Charters specializes in bringing home heavy limits of Seabass, hard-fighting Blackfish (Tautog), and trophy-sized "cow" Stripers. Depending on the season and location, you can also target Flounder, Shark, and offshore Tuna. 

Capt. Jeff supplies top-tier gear for every angler—no wire trolling here, so you feel every bite and fight the fish directly on your own rod.

For a unique adventure, head out on a night fishing charter to hit the fish while they're feeding after dark. You’ll head home with an unforgettable experience and a cooler packed full of fresh catch. Jump aboard and let Capt. Jeff show you what Montauk's world-famous fishing is all about!
