Hey everybody, hope all is well. The weather this weekend looks crazy pleasant, and i might be able to sneak away sunday by myself. Anybody know of smaller open boats where i can buy just one seat? there’s one in CT that I like (Aubrey Joy) but doesn’t look like she’s sailing sunday. i’d prefer to avoid the huge party boats like Blackhawk and Frances in RI but will do it if that’s my only option

Thanks and enjoy the beautiful weekend.

Tartan II in Niantic might be an option. I have never fished with them, just know they run open boat trips.

What are you looking to fish for?

Sunbeam is an option in Niantic. Mid-sized vessel, but in my experience it has never been crowded. Small compared to Blackhawk, etc.

Have had some good diamond jigging trips with them, as well as blackfish.
