Dauntless Party Boat Fishing by Jill Ocone

The Dauntless Party Boat leaves on a fishing trip out of Point Pleasant Beach, NJ via the Manasquan Inlet. The Dauntless is docked at 47 Broadway in Point Pleasant Beach and captained by Captain Bill Egerter.

One of the most popular ways that both tourists and locals alike spend some free time is taking a day or half-day fishing excursion aboard one of the many party boats docked in the Inlet region of Point Pleasant Beach. A half-day trip to catch what is in season, such as fluke/summer flounder, sea bass, porgies, ling, bluefish, black fish, cod or tuna, averages around $60 to $75 including rod/reel rental and bait. Be sure to bring your coolers full of ice (to take home your catch) and beverages/food, as well as enough cash to tip the mates. Information about specific vessels is listed under each photo.
