Captree State Park is home to "The Captree Fleet", which comprises between 24 and 28 independently-owned charter boats that are available for fishing, scuba diving, sightseeing and excursion tours. The fleet is the largest public fishing fleet on Long Island. Anglers at or departing from the park typically target flounder, fluke, and sea bass. The park also offers a marina and boat launch, picnic tables, a restaurant, a playground and recreation programs. Two piers are available for fishing and crabbing, and a put-in for kayaks is available for launching smaller watercraft. The Fall Harvest and Seafood Festival is hosted each year at the park, in addition to several annual fishing tournaments and derbies. A free salt water fishing clinic is also held each year at the park by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and New York Sea Grant. Like most New York State Parks, Captree charges entry fees for vehicles. See also
