We went out on their first Saturday night blue fishing of the year. It was an epic trip. We have to take breaks because we were catching so many fish. Everybody caught their limits very quickly. It was like pulling fish out the water as soon as you threw the line in. The crowd was great on the boat. We came up from Virginia for this trip. I have family in Belmar and am quite familiar with the Marina. The golden eagle is definitely a great boat to go out on you won't be disappointed.

Once you have experienced a fishing trip on the Golden Eagle all other fishing excursions are 2nd Best!!

Not a good fishing trip at all. The crew was very helpful but they let to many people on board. We were shoulder to shoulder and lines kept getting crossed.

Disappointed with yesterday's afternoon fishing trip we are party of 7 and we got nothing?. My two son they were super excited about fishing ? I think the boat should go further from the coast to catch a big fish. The whole boat got two small fish. don’t waste your money. I can't say I'll be back.

First time out on a trip with this many people. Catch was lacking to say the least. Around this time of year you need to go further from the coast to get larger fish. We stayed a bit too close and 90% of the catch from everyone was thrown back. Probably was the case all week. An honest declaration of this would have been helpful instead of taking people out for disappointment. I know you have a business and have to make money weather or not we get a catch but shiw some respect. I can't say I'll be back.

Awesome experience. The captain was friendly and full of advice, mate went above and beyond as well. Worked hard for the few fish we caught. Captain made every effort possible to put us on em.

We had an amazing experience on a sunset cruise and fishing. The guides were all incredibly helpful and accomodating and made the first fishing experience for my young kids something they will remember forever. They worked hard to make sure everyone was having a good time and were always on hand when anyone had a fish on. The boat was clean and doesn't seem to get too crowded so everyone gets attention. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a charter out of Belmar, you won't be disappointed!

So our first experience was last year 2021 and it wasn’t bad. We went again yesterday and it was not a good day. We stopped at 4 different places to catch and NOTHING. With all the people on the boat there were 2 keepers and that was it. At the end of it all the Captain told everyone that it has been slow the last few days as a commercial ship had just come through the other day and swiped the fish in the area. I understand this is how they make money and I respect that. But they were definitely looking out for themselves and not the paying customers as this information was not shared until the end. Any one who goes fishing knows it’s hit or miss but 2 fish with a boat filled with people…. That was information that could have been shared at the beginning to give people an option to reschedule. It showed greed on the part of the Golden Eagle company. They could have even offered maybe a 15-25% voucher off the next trip since this one was so disappointing. Good customer service goes a long way and your customers are more then likely going to return.

I have emailed the Golden Eagle 4 times and called 3 times, explaining the situation regarding a refund for 2 fares back in August due to extenuating circumstances pursuant to a day that the boat was chartered and me booking for that day and the website automatically jumped to the next day when we could not fish.I spoke to the Captain the evening before and he told me to email him all of the information which I did numerous times with no response which I find very unprofessional.If I get a response and refund I will let you all know until then, I have only just begun this fairness campaign.

I never have gone striper fishing before (I love fly fishing for trout) so I figured I'd give a party boat a shot. I initially met with the a couple of crew members who explained what I needed to bring. We fished a bunch of areas chasing the schools of stripers with good luck in some pretty tough conditions, we even stayed out later than scheduled to see if we could catch more. The captain knew where to go and announced where the fish were. The crew on board was friendly and engaged in small talk which was very nice. They were lauds back and offered help with untangling lines, unhooking fish and what lures to use. Even if I caught nothing I would still leave a good review. Only improvement I can see is just offer more options for snacks, but again I'm as inexperienced as they come for party boats. I would definitely embark again on the striper madness with the Golden Eagle.

Best party boat I've been on in the east. Always a very helpful crew, and the people on board tend to know what they're doing.
