Great Captain and boat, we went right to fish and crushed the tautog, constant action, great trip!

Our first trip to the cape and wanted to take a charter. Out of the many charters that were available we selected a Take A Chance for a 4 Hr trip. We were not disappointed. The boat was excellent and in the rough water conditions we felt very safe. We caught many Tautog. The kicker at the end was watching the Harbor Seal come to the back of the boat for the scraps from filleting of the fish. Memorable day.
We finally decided to take a charter and it we are happy we did. The kids and my husband all enjoyed it. Captain Sam was welcoming and great in giving us pointers. One of our daughters was able to catch a nice striped bass for dinner. We had two throw two striped bass back in but it was certainly fun seeing the excitement on their faces as they were reeling them in. We did catch large blue fish but threw them back in. Captain Sam cleaned our fish and put it away for us. Great trip! Will be back.
Was a pleasure to have you guys! And you will always be welcomed back😊

Captain was very professional and respectful and skilled in his craft. Hopefully he will be better the next time my crew comes. He was great we’re looking for the greatest. Lol
Captain was very knowledgeable and great with kids. The boat was immaculate, spacious and comfortable. Took us to the right spots and we had bites all day!
Was a pleasure to have you guys!
