Sea Queen VII Captain Snuffs Out Mutiny


by Ned Berke on Dec 1st, 2009

Captain Steven Ventura of the Sea Queen VII struck back against an aspiring thief Saturday night, foiling the plans of a knife-wielding dunce.

According to the NY Post, Ventura was off the coast of Coney Island around 11:20 p.m. with 15 passengers when he noticed the sinkers from his fishing lines vanishing. When he spotted the culprit, a fight ensued in which the thief, Joseph Neuer, brandished a knife. Ventura avoided injury as he slugged the would-be robber, and passengers and crew bound him with duct tape. When they docked at the Sheepshead Bay marina, police arrested the felon and charged him with third-degree assault, menacing, harassment, and petit larceny.

There are new stricter regulations that limit the size and number of fish that you will be able to catch, but you can have a lot of fun escaping from the concrete jungle for a day. Just make sure to follow the rules, because there’s no way to escape the DEC.
