The Captain

Capt. Frank "Branarchy" Branagan

Frank has spent 25+ years running charters out of Barnegat Light. After a career in heavy construction, he traded the job site for the helm and now runs as a semi-retired charter captain.

He knows these waters, reads the conditions, and works hard to put you on the fish, whether that's a family morning on the bay or a long offshore run to the canyons.

"Captain Frank did a great job! He was on time, boat was clean and ready to go. We did the 4 hour morning trip and it was enough time to enjoy the fishing and the beautiful morning! Captain Frank was terrific in teaching us how to fish and had a lot of good stories to share. We'll do another charter with Captain Frank next year!"
