About the Captain
Kyle Colesanti, Owner & Captain of FATBACK CHARTERS, with 10+ years in the charter industry. He is experienced in the navigation of the New York/New Jersey waters & fishery, with a strong reputation for landing large striped bass & tuna. He has worked with & learned his trade from some of the most well-respected premier captains on the east coast, fishing for a variety of species from Massachusetts to the Bahamas. During the winter months, Captain Kyle travels to North Carolina to pursue giant tuna in The Outer Banks. His skills & ability at landing tuna earned him a role on the National Geographic Television Network Show Wicked Tuna, as second mate on BADFISH. In summer of 2021, his local catches generated interviews with NBC News, Fox News and The New York Post.
It was always a goal of his to take the knowledge & experience gained over the years & apply it to a business of his own. As of July 2022, we are beyond grateful to announce, he has accomplished this goal.
Licenses & Certifications: USCG OUPV (6-pack) Captain’s License, 100 ton master
