The Boat

Captain Ernie French will guide you on his 21 ft. Steigercraft that he helped design.  This boat was built on Long Island and is the perfect boat to fish the flats of Gardiner’s Bay and the bigger waters off Montauk.

To effectively fly fish the Northeast saltwater, a well rounded and versatile boat is critical. Ernie's Steigercraft is the perfect tool for helping him to get you over fish in many different fly fishing environments and situations.

It is not uncommon to sight fish the flats for a few hours in the morning, fish the rips off Montauk Point and then head out to some deeper water if necessary. Ernie's Steigercraft boat is suited for all of these demanding fishing situations. And, the stability and comfort that this fly fishing boat provides will help you to have a great day of safe fishing on the water and a guided trip that you won't soon forget .
