Rocket Charters - New York

I have been going out with Captain Tony for many years. A co worker introduced me to his service well over a decade ago and I have been a loyal customer ever since. It has become a tradition for me and my clients, and a great way to spend captive time with guests you want to really connect with in a fun and exciting environment.

We go two or more times a year, Captain Tony is awesome. He makes sure everyone has a great time, provides stories, beer, and his wife's meatballs!

We often catch a ton of fish as Tony knows all the spots and all the tricks, but even when its slow it is an amazing time. The boat is clean and safe and well equipped. I recommend a few good cigars, bring a playlist he can put on the stereo and get ready for a fantastic trip you or your guests won't forget.

The Captain makes you feel welcome from the minute you step onto the dock. Within minutes he is instructing you on how the day is going to work and how to catch fish. Shortly after these instructions....BAM! Your day is about to take one exciting turn ! An absolutely fantastic journey with the most Professional guide you will ever spend time with. So many great memories, Thank You Captain Tony !!

I won't even start with the delicious meatballs Tony brings from home, but for the experienced and inexperienced alike, a charter with Tony is a great experience on our healthy metropolitan waters. I first fished with Tony 17 years ago, have taken clients, kids, brothers and friends. Always caught fish and watched as Tony taught me something new on every trip as well as getting any rookies on board feeling confident and proficient with both equipment and technique.

Watching rush hour traffic slog up the FDR while hooking good sized stripers and blues in front of the UN in the river is an experience you don't forget. Keep it up Captain Tony, I look forward to getting back out with you soon.

I Have been fishing with Capt. Tony Dilermia for more than 15 years. His professionalism and knowledge of the waters around NYC is unsurpassed. He is a pleasure to work with and always delivers.

No one knows fishing in New York Harbor and the East River better than Captain Tony DiLernia. He has spent a lifetime learning where, when and how to fish these challenging waters, and he proves his unmatched skills on every trip. If you want to catch fish, Captain Tony is the go-to guy. If you don't want to catch fish, pick someone else.
