Silly Willy Charters

Whether you’re looking for an epic run-and-gun fishing trip or just a relaxing day out on the water, Captain Erik Sigtermans has you covered! Targeting multiple species such as Mahi, Striper, Flounder, Seabass, Tog, and Sharks, both inshore and offshore, he’s got the knowledge and experience to get you what you’re after. On his newly furnished 24’ Hydra Sports Center Console, you can expect to be first to the grounds with a new 300hp Yamaha, pushing you along at up to 50 mph and a MinnKota trolling motor to lock you over the wrecks quickly and easily. He provides all the licenses, gear, and tackle you’ll need to get the job done right with brands like Penn, Shimano, Quantum, St. Croix, Majic Tail, Spro, Gulp, Tsunami, and several more.

Safety is number one out there and you’ll always feel safe knowing that Captain Erik’s vessel is equipped with top of the line safety equipment like Radar, Satellite Communications, 6 person life raft, first aid, life jackets, and slim, comfortable automatic-deploying life jackets for the kids.

Captain Erik Sigtermans has had a fierce love for fishing, the Absecon Bay, and the surrounding waters since he was a young child. He grew up fishing in the Absecon Bay on a Boston Whaler, learning where the best fishing spots are and the most effective ways for catching target species. As he grew older, he developed such a passion for fishing that he knew he wanted to share it with others so they could also experience the thrill of living off of the land. With some inspiration from the legacy of his grandfather William "Silly Willy", who taught him to fish, Captain Erik developed Silly Willy Charters and takes pride in creating memories with others that are sure to last a lifetime.
