Frequently Asked Questions
Where do LBI fishing charters depart from?
Charters depart from both ends of the island. Viking Village (Barnegat Light) serves the north end, while Beach Haven has charters at the south end. Choose your hotel based on which marina you're using.
Should I rent a house or stay in a hotel on LBI?
For multi-day fishing trips, weekly house rentals are often better value and give you a kitchen to cook your catch. Hotels work well for shorter stays or if you prefer amenities.
Is LBI crowded in summer?
Yes, LBI is very popular in summer. Book accommodations well in advance, especially for July and August weekends. Weekday fishing trips are often easier to arrange.
