Freeport Charter Boats (formerly Captain Pete’s) offers private fishing charters, yacht rentals, pontoon excursions, and event cruises out of Freeport, New York, run by Mike and Chris. The business operates a versatile three-boat fleet suited to everything from serious fishing trips to milestone celebrations.
The Freeport Gem is a premier charter boat with a 130-passenger capacity, popular for large fishing charters, corporate events, sweet 16 parties, fundraisers, and moonlit boat rides. The Sorry Charlie is a 35-foot custom Henriques sport fishing boat with a 2,000 lb fish hold and green stick, suited to smaller, more serious fishing charters for up to 6 anglers. The Beach Princess, new in 2023, is a fun party barge pontoon offering full days on the water, romantic sunset cruises (including a popular spot for engagements), and bar-hopping along Freeport’s Nautical Mile.
Beyond fishing and cruising, the business runs Jones Beach Concerts by Boat, Fourth of July fireworks cruises, Jones Beach Airshow viewing trips, fully catered private events, and a respectful Ash Scattering/Burials at Sea service, offering both ceremonial (attended) and non-ceremonial scattering options, working directly with funeral homes when needed. Groups from 6 to 130 people are accommodated across the fleet, with free secure parking for all trips.
With 44 reviews at a 4.1 average, guest testimonials specifically praise Mike for smooth event planning and Chris for being an outstanding captain and mate.
