Captain Jim was great. Very professional, and knew exactly where to find the fish while being hospitable. Caught our limit with multiple species. Will look into one of the offshore tuna trips next summer.

Captain and Mate Carolyn were better than advertised. The Captain knew where the fish were all day. We left the dock about 8AM, hooks in the water by 830 and fish on the line before 8:25. We lost count of the fish there were so many. Best fishing trip !

Great trip as per usual. Killed the tuna. If you pay attention you can even learn his ground breaking filet technique which the captain invented himself.

From Carolyn setting up our trip and capt Jim getting us on our limit of tuna almost immediately to Mark his mate who made each catch seamless. All with lots of laughs and having a great time. I thought I was just going fishing but instead made some good new friends I highly recommend this outfit you won't be disappointed .

Captain Jimmy is on the mark, he knows. We were on fish literally within minutes our first man was fighting a bluefin. Shortly after that the next guy had a bluefin ripping off line, as we we were surrounded by hump back whales and dolphins.
By the end of the day we caught a lot of fish. We left Montauk with an amazing experience, and a load of fish.
Thank you Captain Jimmy for an amazing day on the water,
we can't wait to come back

Won 1/2 day inshore fishing trip from Tailwrapped Sportsfishing Charters at the Ward Melville fishing show. From the beginning dealing with Caroline and Sean was a pleasure. They couldn't be more accommodating as to the date selection and what we wanted to fish for. Myself and four friends went, caught seabass and stripebass. The boat and the equiptment were excellent and the mate Brian was on top of everything. All in all it was a great trip.

Great morning of fishing. We had several 30lb plus seabass and one over 50. Great boat, captain, and first mate. Would highly recommend Captain Jim and Mark, excellent teamwork and comradery. Took my son 16 and nephew 18 out for the day and their arms were smoked from reeling. I would definitely commend Tailwrapped fishing charters.

This is the best fishing trip we ever had! Capt. Jim and his mate Mark completed nailed it. Not only we caught some BIG stripers and a lot of seabasses, but also the whole trip was filled with excitement, joy and friendliness. Jim and Mark are great with kids with patience and humor. It is more like a big family fun trip and my two young sons totally loved it (they even fed the seagulls by hand)! Thanks again and we totally recommend their service to anyone looking for a great fishing day out in Montauk on the water.

Me and my buddy chartered a private tuna trip, a bucket list item for me. The Captain (Jim) was fantastic. We arrived without a vehicle and he offered to pick us up from our hotel and even a quick stop at a market. The trip vastly exceeded expectations. This was a surprise gift from my wife and I didn't really know what to expect. Within 5 minutes of putting out lures, I had a yellow fin on the line. We moved to another location and within 5 minutes, we had 3 fish on at the same time! I didn't realize how having caught 4 tuna was special until we were back at the dock and the other charter boats were gawking at our catch. This trip was fantastic, I highly recommend!

After our third annual fishing trip with Captain Sean, I’d say he’s okay
. Sean and crew are incredibly knowledgeable and happy to share their lifetime of Montauk fishing experiences, his boat (+ equipment and tackle) is top notch
, crew and Sean were both amazing with my young boys, socially aware and engaging when appropriate, and each time we caught over 25+ fish.

Absolutely the best fishing trip I've ever experienced.
An absolutely wonderful adventure, Captain Jim and mate Mike were as helpful, courteous and polite as expected from these two experienced fishermen. We had 6 person group and were treated to the best fishing experience that I could ever had imagined.
We caught monster Strippers consistently, each one of the group brought in numerous fish, what a great time, to share the day with my Son and friends was amazing. All 6 of us are looking forward to next year and obviously going to book again with Captain Jim.. Thank you!!!

Best day of fishing ever! Went out on 8/29/22, half day, morning trip. Within 5 min of putting the lines in the water, we had our first fish on. The action absolutely did not stop the rest of the trip. Caught Stripers, and Sea bass. Both Capt. Sean, and Red man were absolutely unbelievable. Not only did they put us on the fish the entire time, they even helped us out with technique. They were especially helpful with my young son and nephew. Really showed them how to fish. Also, Capt. Sean is very humorous, which made the trip that much more enjoyable. Great day. You absolutely will catch fish with Tailwrapped. We will DEFINITELY be going back. #1

This was by far the best fishing experience I’ve had. As a fisherman myself I was very impressed. Capt. Jim has a plethora of knowledge and expertise in this sport. He will definitely put you on the fish quickly. The vessel is a very comfortable boat with the best of the best tackle and gear. If you want to catch fish from giant tuna to sea bass Tail Wrapped is the one.

My fiancé had his bachelor party out in MTK this past weekend and fishing with Tail Wrapped was the highlight of it! Captain Sean and Carolyn were so accommodating throughout the entire planning process, and on the day-of, made sure the guys were getting hooks in the water and fish up on the boat. They went for blues, shark, and stripers! They switched around the itinerary to make the best of the entire experience due to what was hitting and the group came back with enough Stripers to feed 13 guys for dinner with leftovers! 10/10 would definitely recommend working with Tail Wrapper Sports Fishing, we will be back!

Captain Sean never disappoints, to our amazement 10 seconds after the first umbrella rig hit the proper depth the fight was on. My first battle yielded two cows, one of them over 40 inches. My father quickly had the same experience but he had a triple a slot, a slob and a blue. The action was so fierce we were having trouble catching our breath. Every pass over the sweet zone produced fish and usually in the form of doubles with a triple here and there. We boated over 30 fish in three hours and all of our arms were on fire. From schoolies to cows over 40 inches. What a great time, already booked my next trip.

From beginning to end, Captain Sean (‘Jimmy’) and First Mate Chris were amazing! Captain Sean was very responsive leading up to our trip and provided all relevant information. We had a great day out on the water and the boat was immaculate. My husband and I do not have much fishing experience, but that did not matter. Chris was very knowledgeable and patient teaching the different techniques to properly fish. When there were no bites, Captain Sean moved us to a new spot. We ended up catching a few fish during our trip! Captain Sean and Chris are true fisherman, with many years of experience, and were extremely knowledgeable. Even better, they were incredibly personable, friendly, funny, and an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. To top it all off, we received a Tail Wrapped souvenir and delicious homemade chocolate! If you are looking for a great fishing day out in Montauk on the water, we highly recommend!
