Hit the Surf Charters offers private fishing and cruising trips in the waters around Avalon and Stone Harbor, New Jersey, serving visitors to Sea Isle City, Wildwood, and Cape May as well. Led by Captain Barry, who has spent 20 years fishing the local waters, the business welcomes both first-time anglers and experienced guests. Its back-bay charters provide a family-friendly setting and commonly target summer flounder, with other local fishing trips pursuing striped bass, tautog, and bluefish.

Trip options include two- to three-hour kid-friendly fishing outings, four- to five-hour back-bay charters, and fall striper trips using topwater lures. Groups of up to six can also book sunset or “booze” cruises. For visitors looking to get on the water independently, Hit the Surf Charters rents paddleboards for one, three, or five days. The company lists starting prices for its trips and rentals, though prices may change with fuel costs. The boat is docked at Avalon Marine Center, and booking inquiries can be made by contacting the business directly.
