Your Captain & Boat
Step aboard the MADGAFFER II, a 38-foot Henriques Maine Coaster, equipped with an extra large fishing cockpit, perfect for your fishing needs on the water! Built for serious sport fishing and a smooth ride along the Jersey Shore, this vessel is ideal for both seasoned anglers and novices alike.
After decades of running large party boats & charters, Captain Ray has created a more personal, hands-on experience and fishing environment that limits trips to smaller groups and creates community. This ensures every angler has ample room to fish and receives individual attention from the crew during their fishing excursion.
Captain Ray
