Absolutely recommend Grateful Fred

2h – Burial at Sea on July 13, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Stop looking, get booking. Cap'n Fred knows the area and while we didn't fish I would recommend him for that too. We did a burial at sea and Fred was respectful, accommodating and informative. You can't go wrong. He's a good guy and your party will be treated well.

Wonderful sunset cruise in OCNJ bay

2 Hr – Sunset Cruise on July 22, 2025 • 3 adults

Captain Frederick was a great host to our 3 generation family including my mom, my husband, my daughter and myself :) We enjoyed seeing the sights of the bay including Osprey nests as well as bayside inlets and magnificent homes. The sunset destination was spectacular! As “beach people” we appreciated seeing OC from a bay perspective and will do it again! Highly recommend 😎
