The History of Miss Avalon Fishing Charters

Miss Avalon Fishing Charters

Miss Avalon Fishing Charters is a fishing charter company that has been operating in Avalon, New Jersey for over 70 years. The company was founded in the early 1950s by a local fisherman named Captain Irv Hurd Sr. Irv started the business as a way to share his love and knowledge of the local waters with others.
In the early days, Miss Avalon Fishing Charters offered simple, half-day fishing trips for tourists and locals alike. As the company grew in popularity, Irv expanded the business to include more varied and longer excursions. Miss Avalon now offers a wide range of trips, including inshore, offshore and deep-sea fishing trips, targeting a variety of fish species like tuna, flounder, and bass.

One of the unique features of Miss Avalon Fishing Charters is that the company is still family-owned and operated, now Miss Avalon is run by Irv Hurd’s grandson Captain Brandon Hurd, a 4th generation skipper in the Hurd family. This gives the company a personal touch and a deep connection to the local community. Iv Hurd sr.’s family have continued to run the company with the same dedication and passion that he had. They are also constantly looking for ways to improve and modernize the services offered to the customers.

Over the years, Miss Avalon Fishing Charters has become one of the most popular fishing charter companies in the area. The company has a strong reputation for providing high-quality, safe, and enjoyable fishing experiences for people of all ages. Many of the customers have been coming back for several years, and some have even been coming for decades.
