Private Fishing Charters in Belmar, NJ

Personalized offshore and inshore fishing trips along the Jersey Shore — it's just you, your group, and Capt. Chris.

Your Own Private Fishing Charter on the Jersey Shore

Way Overboard Sportfishing offers private, small-boat fishing charters out of Belmar, NJ — a true alternative to the large head boats and party boats that fill Belmar Marina every day. When you book a private charter with us, you get the entire 32' Regulator FS to yourself and your group, not a shared rail with dozens of strangers. Capt. Chris tailors every trip to your group's goals, whether that means putting beginners and kids on steady bites close to shore or running offshore after trophy tuna and shark.

We proudly serve anglers throughout Belmar, Point Pleasant, Manasquan, Brielle, Bay Head, Mantoloking, Avon-by-the-Sea, Asbury Park, Wall Township, Seaside Park, Toms River, and across Monmouth and Ocean County. Whether you're planning a relaxed half-day trip with the family or a serious full-day run for tuna and shark, a private fishing charter puts you in control of the day — your schedule, your target species, your pace.

Why Choose a Private Charter Over a Party Boat

Unlike the large party and head boats sailing out of the Belmar Marina with dozens of anglers aboard, a private charter with Way Overboard Sportfishing means it's just you and your group — up to 4 people — with the boat and crew's full attention. No shoulder-to-shoulder fishing, no competing for rail space, and a trip built entirely around what you and your group want to catch. It's the difference between a shared excursion and a private one built around your day on the water.
