Captain Ed Beneduci has been fishing Montauk’s waters since 1960. Captain Ed brings a level of fishing experience that can be matched by few others. His dedication to satisfying his customers and jovial presence has made him a favorite among party boat captains! Captain Eddie Beneduci came to America from Italy in 1956, on the last trip the Andrea Doria made before her tragic sinking. Ed worked as a mechanic, and would often come to Montauk to fish on Capt. Carl Forsberg’s original Viking Star. On one of these trips Carl had engine problems. When Ed pitched in and got the engine running, Carl rewarded Ed with a season pass to the boat. Ed soon after was mating on the weekends and hooked on a fishing lifestyle. Capt. Ed has fished with many of Long Islands legends of the party boat world. He was on trips with Capt. Jay Porter when they discovered the Bacardi and Suffolk wrecks, and was instrumental in the first trips from Montauk to the fluke and porgy ground at Nomans Island. Come aboard the Montauk Star to fish with one of Montauk's true legends and benefit from his years of experience!
