Roll Back the Prices Dive Club Special

The John Jack is known for offering high-end dive trips to the experienced divers of the Northeast. It also has a great reputation for introducing divers to the exciting world below the waves and just a few miles from our beaches. The latest brainstorm of the Captain is to give everyone a chance to enjoy a little bit of the "good old days." The John Jack is offering a special deal to any diver who is an active member of a local dive club: a chance to enjoy a day of diving for the incredibly low price of $65.00. This rate is only available on May 19 and 20, and again on June 9 and 10. To take advantage of this offer, contact your local dive club to see if they are participating. If your local dive shop is not participating, have the club president call me and I'll "hook them up."  Contact Captain Rich (201-321-6924), book your dive day, pay, then go diving.

DIVING, FISHING, AND CRUISES - OH MY

The charter season is here and I can't wait for the first trip. Being the owner and Captain of a boat like the John Jack makes me feel like the great and powerful Oz, but without the smoke and mirrors. We don't sail over the rainbow and there are no magic slippers, just good times. The John Jack and its crew don't perform magic; the magic is there in the North Atlantic. The magic lies in the shipwrecks, the dive sites, the reefs, the salty breeze, the glorious sunsets, and in the hearts and souls of the people who ply the ocean's waters.  When I'm at sea, I feel special and I want to bring that special feeling to others.   The John Jack is just the Magic Carpet Ride to get you there.

Check us out this year and see what the John Jack is all about. Enjoy our upper sun deck, grab a cup of hot coffee, or take a nap in one of our spacious bunks and on the way back from your trip, . Or, enjoy the afternoon sunshine on our rear deck as we steam to our destination.

The John Jack family is proud of the product we bring to the Jersey shore. To our returning customers and friends: Welcome back for the 2012 season.  If you haven't been on the John Jack yet, welcome aboard.  Try us; you'll like it.

The Season Begins...Battle of the Bilge

With the start of the 2012 charter season fast approaching, it’s time to blow the dust off the crew, tune up the boat, and get things rolling. On Saturday, March 17th, the crew eagerly (OK, reluctantly) tackled the always enjoyable (OK, downright nasty) job of cleaning the bilge. For those of you who are not sure what the bilge is, it’s the boat’s basement where the engines live and breathe – and gurgle and crew spill oil, antifreeze, and whatnot. I'm not sure how to describe “whatnot,” but it’s easy to remove from the engine and impossible to remove from your shoes, clothes, and hands. The day began with a dirty bilge, strong soap, clean rags, and a hearty crew; the day ended with a clean bilge, dirty crew, and exhausted rags. There’s more cleaning to be done before the fist customer steps aboard, but the John Jack is close to being ready for the Coast Guard inspection and an exciting 2012 season of diving, fishing, and lobster dinner cruises. Follow our web page and join us for one, some or all of our adventures this year.

Fishing for the big ones on the John Jack

Want to fish?  Want to learn how to fish?  Looking for a boat to take your group out for a day of fun on the ocean?  The John Jack has the answers - give me a call.  We have had several successful charters this season, both in-shore and off-shore.  The John Jack has a complete galley and sleeps 8, so we're able to do overnight trips to the Canyon where "the big fish" school.

Give me a call and let me fill you in on the details.
