    Great afternoon!

    5 Hour Boston Fishing on August 30, 2026 • 4 adults

    The fish were being evasive but Capt Vinny kept his eyes open and patiently took us all around the harbor - even spending extra time - until they finally bit. One was big enough to take home, and he filleted on the dock for us. Excellent afternoon for me, my teens, and my dad.

    Great trip. Great fishing.

    4 hr Boston Harbor multi Species on August 30, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Knowledgeable captain that knows how to catch fish in Boston. Definitely recommend stormbuster if you want to actually cast lures and fish. Kids had fun catching bait fish 2-3 at a time. Stripers on top water type lures is always a blast.

    Class Act Captain

    Tall Ships Cruise 6 ppl july 11-16 on September 27, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had a fantastic day. This guy treated my Grandson like he was his Grandson. We were on a mission to get the little guy his first striper. We caught live bait (which my Grandson loved) and the hunt was on. The Capt. was focused, determined, and polite. We will recommend Capt. Vinny to anyone we know that wants to have fun. Made some great memories today. Thank you Captain Vinny. Mission Accomplished!!!!!!

    We had a wonderful time on this fishing tour! The weather was perfect, and the boat was clean and comfortable.

We really enjoyed the whole experience and are already looking forward to the next time.

    Great time

    4hr Trip Boston Harbor, up to 5ppl on August 20, 2022 • 3 adults

    You can't judge a captain on how the fish are biting, but the captain put us right on the fish, he was enjoyable to crew with and we ended up having a hell of a time and caught many large strippers and blue fish. Can't recommend captain Vinnie enough

    Half day trip on Storm Buster captained by Vinny Simeone.

    Half Day Trip (PM) on May 29, 2019 • 4 adults

    Half day trip on Storm Buster captained by Vinny Simeone. I can't say enough to do this company justice. I had exceptional service by captain Vinny, he was really good with my 3 children and by the end of the day he had taught my 7 year old daughter how to cast. We caught lots of fish and he was very informative and helpful. I would highly recommend StormBusters to children and adults. I give this charter 5 starts, best fishing trip I have charted, and I have chartered a lot of fishing trips.

    Awesome day

    Half Day Trip (PM) on September 6, 2019 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Capitan took my 6 year old son and I out for a great day chasing stripe bass. We had an unbelievable experience fishing. My 6 year old caught his first one in about 10 casts. Capitan Vinnie put us on the fish. I will be calling him again for another day of fishing in my future.

Captain Vinny Simeone has been fishing along the East Coast for almost four decades, and currently runs trips from Boston to CapeCod. Growing up fishing around Boston, he has a lifetime of experience against local favorites like Striped Bass,Bluefish,Flounder etc. His favorite thing about fishing is seeing people enjoying the trip and helping them catch the fish, whether as a fun activity or to put food on the table.

    A friend and I took our 14-year-old sons for a half day with Captain Vinny, and this was a great trip. We came back with fish both to cook tonight and to freeze for another day, which was lucky, but what made our time particularly enjoyable was Captain Vinny's knowledge, guidance, flexibility, and generosity with his time. He was perfect with the boys, providing them advice when they needed it and letting them experiment with technique when it was appropriate; he shared lots of information about the islands we passed and the harbor (but not so much that it ever felt like a lecture); he moved the boat several times to find where the stripers were biting; and what was supposed to be a 4-hour stint turned out -- with our permission -- into something more like 5+ hours. This group has gone charter fishing before, and we will again, and we'll certainly call Captain Vinny.
