🎣 THE OG PELAGIC BEAST IS FOR SALE! 🎣
Well… the time has finally come to say goodbye to the boat that started it all for us 13 years ago! ❤️
The Pelagic Beast is officially for sale.
This boat has been a huge part of our family and our business over the years. She’s caught a whole lot of fish, carried countless customers and kids, and helped us build Pelagic Beast Fishing Charters into what it is today. Needless to say, there are a LOT of memories on this boat, so this one is definitely bittersweet!
⚓ She is currently in the water and operating DAILY, running our fishing camps and charters, so this is not a boat that has been sitting around. Serious buyers are welcome to schedule a time to come see her and take her for a test drive.
I’ll include all of the specs, electronics, engine information, upgrades and known issues below so there are no surprises.
📍 Connecticut
🎣 Currently operating daily
🚤 Available to see & sea trial by appointment
If you have any questions or are seriously interested, please feel free to reach out to us directly to schedule a time to come take a look.
Please share — we’d love to see the OG Pelagic Beast go to someone who will put her to good use and make some new memories with her! 🎣⚓️

What a beautiful day on the water for our campers. Both the morning and afternoon sessions saw tons of action with porgies, seabass and fluke! The fluke fishing has definitely picked up in the sound and the key was live bait! We have one spot left in our last session next week! If your child goes back after Labor Day and you’re looking for something for them to do, sign them up! Www.pelagicbeast.com or call for more info 914 216-4899
First day of camp for these campers and it was a success! We just opened an additional session next week out of Greenwich from 1pm-5pm for those students that don’t return to school until after Labor Day. Space is extremely limited so make sure to sign your child up now! Book online at www.pelagicbeast.com or call 914 216-4899 for more info!
