Nightjack Sportfishing offers an exciting day of fish chasing adventures in the bountiful waters of Branford, Connecticut. Captain John Alves, an avid angler since childhood, proudly owns and operates the charter, dedicating every minute to the water. Whether you're a first-time guest or a returning one, he loves showcasing the thrilling opportunities these waters hold.

Embark on the "Nightjack," a 32' Levy Downeast vessel powered by a 330 HP Cummins engine, boasting a top cruising speed of 20 knots. This large Canadian-built "Novi" boat is renowned for its size and stability, featuring a half-enclosed cabin for protection from the elements and equipped with a toilet. With a capacity of up to 6 anglers, the Nightjack is perfect for inshore and offshore excursions.

Depart from the Branford Landing Marina and explore the inshore waters of the Long Island Sound and Thimble Islands. Target a variety of species, including Tautog, Striped Bass, Fluke, Weakfish, and more. Alternatively, venture offshore to encounter big game fish like Bluefin Tuna, formidable Mako and Thresher Sharks, and during summer, delicious Mahi Mahi.

At Nightjack Sportfishing, fishing is taken seriously. Prepare for battles with large fish using the fighting chair, and keep bait fresh in the onboard livewell. The charter is equipped with USCG-approved safety equipment for your peace of mind during challenging sea conditions. Bring the whole family to experience real fishing adventures, and Captain John looks forward to welcoming you back time and time again. Strap in for an unforgettable journey, no matter which trip you select.
