Split Charters – Inshore Fishing in Long Island Sound & Fishers Island Sound
Looking to enjoy a full charter experience without reserving the entire boat? Our split charters are the perfect solution. Step aboard the Thirsty Mermaid and join a small group of anglers for a day of exciting inshore fishing in the productive waters of Long Island Sound and Fishers Island Sound.
Split charters are ideal for individuals or small groups who want to fish but may not have enough people to book a private trip. You’ll share the boat with other fishing enthusiasts, but still receive the same professional service, top-tier gear, and hands-on support as a private charter.
We’ll target a variety of inshore species such as Striped Bass, Bluefish, Fluke (Summer Flounder), Blackfish, Sea Bass, Porgies, and False Albacore, depending on the season and conditions. Techniques may include drifting, trolling, bottom fishing, or topwater casting, all tailored to the day’s conditions and the group’s preferences.
Our experienced first mate is available throughout the trip to assist with everything from baiting hooks to landing fish, making these trips accessible and enjoyable for anglers of all skill levels.
