ALWAYS A SPECIAL EXPERIENCE
Review by Band of 3 on 8/25/22, 8:55 AM
Any chance 3 co workers can get the opportunity to spend time together out on the water its a good time and the same band of 3 have been coming to Silly Lilly for years, just completed our 3rd trip of this season and will go back again once in the next week or so. With all the fishing opportunities on Long Island, Silly Lilly continues to be a go to favorite for a great day on the water, extremely friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming staff. We typically do well with the fishing, with this season especially good, but no matter the catch, Silly Lilly always leaves a delightful memory and that's a tribute to the workers who make it so. Keep up the great work, you have a band of 3 hooked for life.
Great place!

Silly lilys was fantastic. Easy going and friendly staff. They have everything you need to get you out on the water fishing; boats, rods, lures, bait and tips on where to go. They will even fillet your catch for you. And everything was very reasonably priced. Cannot wait to go back.

Great gear, fishing and assistance with the fish when we got back. All personel were very knowledgeable on the use of the boat and where to take take to boat to get the best chances for keep fluke and other fish.
Reunion
Review by Bob on 6/12/22, 6:00 AM
My experience at Silly Lily was, at best, disappointing. The check in process was awkward and the gal there didnât too much. She sold me a useless lure and frozen bait took at least 1 hour to thaw. Jay is the only knowledgable person there and made it sound that brining home some keepers was a no-brainer. I caught nothing, not even a sea robin. Jay said it was high tide, perfect time to catch fish. Nobody on the water was catching anything. Jay told me to ask the gal for a 10% off â bad luck dayâ coupon. She had no idea what i was talking about. I left disgusted, too bad there are no other fishing stations left.
Day on the Water
Review by Zee on 9/20/21, 6:56 AM
My husband and I had a great day on the water. I was able to take my dog (with her life preserver) on the boat. Although, we didn't catch keepers, we still had a great day. The owners are so pleasant. I will continue to come back as much as possible. Such a great day out. Thank you Silly Lilly.
Annual Trip
Review by Jack and Son on 9/13/21, 8:29 AM
My son and I make an annual fluke trip from Silly Lilly. We enjoy having our own boat and fishing where we want in Moriches Bay. Always a fun day whether we bring home keepers or not. My only complaint, which I discussed with the owner is the 8AM opening. In years past, they opened much earlier and the experience of getting out on the bay before all the boat traffic was terrific. The owner said they hope to change that next year by moving to a split shift for the staff and executing all the paperwork and payments online. We look forward to next year.
Always fun!
Review by Megan on 8/26/21, 8:20 AM
Silly Lily is always a highlight of the summer! We rent a skiff (or two, if we bring friends) and go out to explore the islands. Sometimes we fish and they will filet them for us. Sometimes we catch and release. We have not been clamming or crabbing yet, but we always mean to. Our kids (10 and 7) have almost as much fun on land as they do on the water. They love the treehouse, lifeguard stand, antique pinball machine, and corn hole. The Silly Eats truck is delicious. It is laid back and unpretentious. Just an all-around great day!

So nice and so friendly! Great place and so nice to be able to go to the beach.
This place is the hidden gem
Review by Ben on 5/6/21, 7:47 PM
We rented skiffs from Silly Lily a few times over the last year (2020). What a wonderful experience! Every single person we have shared this place with has had their minds blown. This place is a gem. People whining about having their boat ready immediately in the midst of a pandemic should be dismissed as whiney. Karens. The staff here are professional, safe, mindful and dedicated to giving each guest a safe and attentive experience. 150% would (and have!) recommend.

Fishing on the bay
Review by Gsmart on 9/28/20, 8:27 AM
Everyone was very nice. The boat was clean and well maintained. We are not experienced at fishing on the bay and the guys were very helpful. Everything you would need is in the shop. The price was a bit high but well worth it for us for a beautiful day out on the water. We even caught a keeper!!

Fun time
Review by Eye4things on 9/14/20, 1:13 AM
Family has a fun time going on on their motorized dories. Just wish the line to get the boat can be shorter / more efficient.
Incomparable
Review by EMo or bust on 8/28/20, 4:17 AM
Silly Lily is an Instittution. Thereâs no place like it. Jay and Steve creates a community gathering place that didnât exist in East Moriches. The boats, paddle boards, everything is well maintained. The Silly Eats food truck serves the best food in town, the store is adorable. We never want to leave.
Almost a great time
Review by Flounder on 8/26/20, 5:29 PM
I would have given this 5 stars but i couldn't because of the wait time to finally board the skiff. Arrived at the station at 7:57 am waited till the doors opened at 8:10 am then i was second in line and the woman who was handling all the paperwork and reservations didn't know how to do it and kept trying to get vinny to help her out with the paperwork .Vinny had to try and do 2 things at the same time- get a boat set up for a customer and come back inside the station and help out the woman behind the desk with the reservation. By the time everything was straightened out it was 8 :55 am . i paid for a full day from 8:00 am till 4:00 pm but lost almost an hour because of the confusion. Besides that the the guys that set up the boat and gave us instructions were excellent . Had a great time out on the water. its too bad we had to have that problem with the paperwork. P.S.- After about 20 min.while the woman was trying to figure out how to handle the reservation, she had the nerve to say "ohh don't worry the fish will still be out there"".
Great Experience
Review by John D on 8/15/20, 6:33 AM
Such a great day! So much better than going on a crowded party boat! Quick and easy to get to the fishing spots.
FirstTime
Review by FirstTime on 8/14/20, 10:38 AM
We tried Silly Lily's for the first time after coworker recommended. Phone conversation was good. Online booking needed help and was told will get call back when fixed. Got call back with fix. Booked. Came on blackout day after storm but still got two boats within 30 mins and a tutorial on operating. Need to lift motor often when low tide otherwise rotor gets warn on sand/rocks. A bit heavy for a woman so bring strong man with you! Maybe they can install automatic lift. Fishing boats can use umbrellas but need to close when driving otherwise will fly away. Day Lily bed is too big. Maybe they can split it into two or make it go around so this way the weight is distributed otherwise all weight is on the back if noone is using the bed. You need to distribute weight properly or you can't see in front while driving. Successfull day for kids, brother, mother-inlaw, wife and me. Caught lots of sea-robins, one sea-bas, and two sand-sharks. Can walk outside the boat when low tide. Follow numbered buoys to orient and less shallow next to them. Chose rainy day for fishing and sunny day for beach. Enjoy!

Second Visit as good as first
Review by Walter on 7/26/20, 11:01 AM
Was our second time there, and it was as good as the first time. Rented a boat, bought some delicious sandwiches at Silly LillyâÂÂs pantry, and headed to the beach.
Family Day
Review by T. Roberts on 7/6/20, 7:29 PM
We had a great time even cloudy with a few showers here and there. The employees and owners were so helpful and polite. Rented clam rake and brought our own poles. We had lunch on one of the many islands in that area and got to see wildlife, we island hopped, got a few clams with our clam rake. This really gives you an idea how much fun owning your own boat can be. Great for young kids especially if they love being on the water.
