St. James fishing charter.
25 minutes east — private trips for 1–4 anglers.
Captain Skippy Charters is the private fishing charter serving the St. James area — about a 25-minute drive to our dock at Mount Sinai Marina via Route 25A east through Smithtown, Nesconset, Setauket and Port Jefferson. Private-only, 1–4 anglers, all-in pricing.
The right trip for the North Shore lifestyle
St. James and the Nissequogue area sit on some of the prettiest water on the north shore — but the real fishing grounds are east of Nissequogue, in the central Long Island Sound between Old Field and the Middle Grounds. That's where we take you. The Christina M II is a 26-ft Down East built for real fishing but comfortable for 1–4 anglers on a family or group day. Heated cabin. Functioning head. USCG-licensed captain with 20+ years on the water.
