Our Captains
Captain Paul "Andrew" Cummings is the owner of Sailor’s Delight Back Bay Fishing. Capt. Cummings started working in the Party Boat Fishing Industry at the age of 11, in what started a lifelong involvement in the industry, and the dream of owning his own fishing boat. Starting as a cabin cleaner and bait boy, Capt. Cummings eventually went on to become a US Merchant Marine Deck Officer through the New York Maritime College, in the Bronx, NY. This lead to a career that took him from the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean, across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and everywhere in between. However, it has always been FISHING that has been his passion, and he now extends that passion to Sailor's Delight. When he isn't onboard the Sailor's Delight in NJ, he is often found working in the Gulf of Mexico in the oil fields (where he brings back local knowledge from the bayou to try out in our waters!).
Captain Stan Stankiewicz is a lifelong waterman with decades of fishing experience. He has worked every aspect of the fishing industry both commercially and recreationaly in our waters for over four decades.
A local with immense knowledge of our waters, Captain Stan takes pride and professionalism hand in hand when finding the fish and pleasing his customers.
Our Crew
All of our crew are hand-picked by Captain Cummings. He assures that each of his crew harbor a deep passion for fishing as a sport and that their personal experience and professional abilities are best suited to our industry, our sport, and our customer's needs. Each employee has special training for the job and is enrolled in a random drug testing program to assure peak performance.
Our crew has access to the best tackle and bait we can provide, can give all of our customers the best advice for the fish they are targeting, and has access to the best safety and first aid equipment.
Don't forget to tip your mate! Tipping ensures proper service, and a mate never forgets who doen't tip them!
Our Boat
Built in 2007 with a recent upgrade, the "Sailor's Delight" is a 40' long, 10' wide aluminum tri-hull built specifically for fishing! She comfortably fishes 10 passengers (she was designed to carry many more). She recently had her propulsion upgraded to a new 90hp Honda outboard motor, making her quieter and more fuel efficient. She comes with a restroom for customer comfort, a rubber "non-slip" deck, all US Coast Guard required life jackets and firefighting equipment, and moveable seating for customer convenience. Our boat also has a multi-speaker stereo sound system for entertainment, beverages for purchase aboard, lighting for night fishing, fish well to hold your catch, and access to the closest fishing grounds in the county.
The "Sailor's Delight" recently had an overhaul on her electronics in 2015, including upgrades to her GPS, Fish finder and transducer, new VHF Marine Radio, and new batteries.
Captain Andrew sees his boat as a working canvas, and under the guidance of the US Coast Guard, he is always working and brain storming to figure out how to make small changes to make your fishing and crabbing experience all that much better. You never know what will be different aboard when you come to visit us!
