Open Boat Seats

Open Boat Seats — open seats on New Jersey charter boats, gathered in one place. A Local Event Directory project. Listings are always free.

Open seats, before they sail

Captains post their open seats and cancellation spots on their own pages, where most fishermen never see them. This board gathers them onto one map — by port, soonest first. Every listing goes straight to the captain: we never take a booking and never touch the money.

Two kinds of listings: a captain's regular open-boat schedule (his published weekly runs), and one-off openings — which disappear the moment their sailing time passes. A listing shows how fresh it is, so you always know how old the word is.

Sailing soonest

Every dated opening on the board, in the order it sails. Openings vanish at their sailing time — if it's listed here, it hasn't sailed yet. Sample sailings are marked.

How the spotlight works

Listings are free for every captain, forever. A captain who wants to stand out buys the pulse on his pin — $10 a day, flat, pick your days. Featured pulses gold; Premium cycles white-to-red and sits on top at every zoom. No commissions, no charges to fishermen, and nobody can buy the alert — the buzz belongs to the fisherman's own choices.
