my husband and 2 kids went out and everyone caught at least one Striper and had so much fun. We go fishing alot as a family, and my husband was raving about Captain Matt and his first mate, saying how he was incredibly patient and super motivating for the kids. he really made the whole day incredibly enjoyable and our kids wouldnt stop talking about the fun they had. we will totally go with him again and will highly recommend for friends and family! Can’t wait to get back out there!
We had a wonderful experience with Captain Matt and the Lyda Rose crew! We booked a shorter 3 hour charter early in the season to see how our 9 year old would do, and it was the perfect trip for our family. Captain Matt was experienced, personable, and very positive throughout the entire trip. First mate Hayden was also great and very helpful with baiting hooks, casting lines, and making the experience easy and enjoyable for everyone. The boat was spacious, comfortable, and had a nice warm area inside while moving from spot to spot. We had a great time and can't wait to come back for a longer trip. Highly recommend!
We booked this trip for our 10 year old to do some saltwater fishing. we had done the bigger boats where there is 50 or so people on it and you all go for haddock which is fun but we wanted something where he could see different types of fish and fishing. while on the boat with captain Matt we were able to go to 4 different spots and our 10 year old son was ecstatic to catch 4 different species. unfortunately only 1 was one we were allowed to keep worth eating but it was about the catching experience for him. we have already decided to book 1 or 2 more longer trips with captain Matt as our son thought we needed more time fishing to find more fish.
Captain Matthew Cooney was knowledgeable and personable! I purchased the 3 hour inshore trip for my son and nephew’s 13th birthdays and they expressed it was an unforgettable experience! Captain took is to catch bait first and the boys quickly filled the bucket with 20+ mackerel (3-5 per cast)! They both reeled keeper strippers while I enjoyed the ocean breeze, sunshine and picturesque landscapes. This was my first ocean fishing trip and I found it safe, fun and educational! I would highly recommend and hope to return for a longer trip in the near future.
We began our day with a delicious breakfast at Mom’s Kitchen—highly recommended for its cozy atmosphere and great food. Shortly afterward, we met Captain Matt at the dock and set off on our adventure. Within just 20 minutes, we were already reeling in fish! My daughter was thrilled, catching mackerel three at a time and having an absolute blast. Even my wife managed to land two fish on a single hook! Captain Matt was exceptional—friendly, patient, and wonderful with children. His enthusiasm and expertise made the entire outing unforgettable. This was a truly special experience for our family, and one we’ll cherish for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend this excursion to anyone, especially families looking to create lasting memories on the water.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Captain Matthew was born and raised in Gloucester, MA and has always had a passion for fishing and boating. He was taught how to fish and lobster at a very young age by his father, who is a lifelong commercial fisherman. The captain began running charters for his father and eventually on head boats out of Gloucester, before setting out on his own boat. For Captain Matthew, sharing his experience and seeing other people enjoy a day on the water just as much as he does is what makes his job rewarding.
