The Northeast family
A family on the water
For over 30 years, the Hartleys have been welcoming people aboard. We'd like you to be part of the story.
The early days, aboard the Rainbow III.
South Jersey roots
Fishing is more than a business for the Hartleys. It's a family legacy.
It all started in Wildwood with the Rainbow 1. Over the years more boats followed, and the kids grew up on deck, learning to bait hooks, read the water and look after the people on board.
In 2018 we moved north to Keyport. Since then the fleet has grown to include our tenth boat, the 85-foot Keyport Princess, along with the Nighthawk in Atlantic Highlands.
