angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Capt. Ira had enough of the professional world so he chased his dreams out to sea! He's fished for some of the top captains in New England as a mate and has been a charter captain for over 10 years. He's been a full year-round lobsterman and has worked many years on an offshore dragger full time. So, if you're looking for experience, professionalism, and all the saltiness of 20 years in Cape Ann, give Capt. Ira a call!
