Went out Fluke fishing today on the Atlantic Star. The fishing was kinda slow but my girlfriend and I still caught 5 Fluke each. One guy on the boat caught an 11 pounder. Capt. Tom is great and very friendly he keeps working to get everyone into some fish. The mates are also very friendly and very helpful to everyone. Fishing with them was a great experience and it is a good boat for families with kids. I would fish on the Atlantic Star again anytime.

Fished all the boats and all are good. The Atlantic star is the best for family and friends. Right from the start of every trip, i’v noticed the friendly interaction the Captain and crew members have with the kids and the people new to the boat. The crew is by far the best trained and most friendly. The captain, Tom Buban has over forty years experience on the ocean starting in the Coast Guard for 4 years. He then took over and ran the(Happy) party boat for 9 years, In 1987 he opened the Atlantic Star. I hear others say how clean the boat is and i agree. Some party boats can have really scary heads. I always feel safe on this boat and think my friends and family feel the same. The spring ushers in the striped bass and they sail two times a day at 8am-1230 and at 130−6pm at $ 42 with discounts for children and seniors. On about the third weekend of May, the captain takes off the anchor and drifts for fluke or summer flounder with the same hours and price. The bait is included and if you need a pole and a rig, he rents those for $ 5. The fall brings in the bottom fishing for Black fish, Porgies, black Sea Bass, and Ling. If they are swimming and chewing, this Captain will put you on the fish and the mates will fillet on the way in. The mates on the Atlantic Star make there living off of tips and i always feel they are worthy and deserving. On or about Columbus day, Captain Tom will switch to ¾ day 730am-2pm at about $ 62 and soon after will fish for mainly Tuatog,(Black fish). After fishing on this boat for more than 15 years, i’m confident to recommend this boat to all those looking to put fish in your coolers and have a safe and good fishing trip
