About the Longshot

The Longshot is a 30 foot Kingfisher powered by two Yamaha 250hp outboards. Streamlined and fuel efficient, the Longshot is the fastest boat in the North Country fleet, cruising around 30 knots. Captain Ben can get you fishing further and faster in comfort and style.

With comfortable seating for 6 anglers the Longshot also has fresh running water at the sink, a heated cabin and marine toilet, so everyone can enjoy a full day on the water. Captain Ben and deckhand Jenae are excited and ready to take you and your party out on the water for an unforgettable fishing adventure!

Born into this business, fishing is what Captain Ben lives and breathes. If you don't already know of his prowess you are sure to learn it while at sea with him. He has a fishy reputation for a reason. Kind, passionate, and an excellent teacher (if you're new) Captain Ben is sure to show you a wonderful day on the water.
