Family Fishing Charters Montauk
Introduce your children to the joys of the open sea with Montauk’s premier kids friendly fishing experience. Aboard CUJO, we trade stressful, crowded boat environments for a private, guided family tradition where safety is our absolute priority.
A Patient, Hands-On Introduction to the Sea
We believe a great family charter isn’t measured just by the size of the fish, but by the size of the memories. Captain Mike Elling and his professional mates specialize in teaching children the basics of rod handling, knot tying, and local marine life. We take care of all the complex rigging, heavy lifting, and baiting so you can focus entirely on capturing the perfect photo. From spotting local pods of dolphins to watching a child reel in their very first catch, we keep our deck pristine, encouraging, and completely safe for generational memory-making.

Built for Stability, Comfort, and Peace of Mind

Common Questions From Our Anglers
Never. Our mates keep the atmosphere light and highly interactive. We target high-action spots where bites are frequent to keep kids constantly entertained, and if they need a break, they can hang out in the cool, spacious indoor cabin.
Vessel choice matters immensely. Our 46ft Bertram is a wide-beam, heavy sportfishing boat designed to sit solidly in the water. This significantly reduces rocking compared to smaller rental boats. We also monitor ocean conditions in real-time to stick to the smootRx, calmest inshore paths.
We welcome children of all ages! Our vessel is fully equipped with certified safety equipment, open deck space with protective high rails, and highly accessible seating to make the environment stress-free for parents.
