Captain Adrian is a USCG certified Master Captain and has been fishing the NYC area for over 25 years. He started surfcasting in Breezy Point in the late 90s and got his first boat – the Bass Appeal 1 – in 2005. From New York City to Montauk, from OBX to Louisiana, Captain Adrian has spent the last couple of decades mastering the ins and outs of striped bass & tuna fishing from some of the best captains out there. Even still, he prides himself on maintaining a beginner’s mindset, continuously learning new tricks and techniques, and most importantly, always keeping good vibes on the boat. In his free time he enjoys photography, traveling to catch tuna in new places, and learning how to cook it in different ways.

First Mate Felix was born and raised in Coney Island, Brooklyn. In the early 2010s, he started working on party boats in nearby Sheepshead Bay where he met Captain Rich Columbo. Shortly thereafter, Felix became Captain Rich’s 1st Mate on the Marilyn Jean and when Captain Rich started Rockfish Charters, Felix came on board again to be his Mate. Felix has fished the waters of New York and New Jersey for more than 20 years and beyond his work with Rockfish, has gone out with most of the top captains in the game – targeting everything from blackfish, monster sharks, and trophy-sized striped bass, to yellowfin and giant bluefin tuna, always learning more and more tricks of the trade along the way. Quick to untangle a line but even quicker with a joke, Felix knows everyone and has the stories of an OG to match. Whether you’re a seasoned angler, new to fishing or still in elementary school – take a Rockfish trip with Felix and guaranteed he will have you reeling in beasts and cracking up all day long.
