Full day ground fish on June 29, 2024

I’ve been going to Gloucester for five years fishing for a father and sons trip this is ultimately the best trip I’ve had in five years going to Gloucester hanging out with these two guys. Ryan and Ben were the most awesome guys to spend your day with. I couldn’t say anymore they made our trip amazing they were awesome. They worked hard. They caught us a lot of fish, they were the bomb and I’m thinking I’m going back in August. I will fish with them any day of the week so fantastic people to spend your day with with your sons fathers daughters even I mean I can’t say anymore does the best I highly recommend them book a chart with them you will not be disappointed , I’m getting ready to book another one and I never do two in one year but I’m ready to book another one in August

12 FOOTER!!! Sharking with Ryan was the Right Move

VERIFIED

10 Hour Trip – Shark on July 9, 2023

My family and I had a phenomenal time with Ryan. He's very inviting and down to earth. I think at one point we all were napping except for wife who was reading a book as we waited for the sharks and tuna, all the while Captain Ryan chummed the water and kept an eye out for fish. (Allegedly wife and Ryan saw whales while I napped... the jury is still out "they were too far away to get a video" my wife says. Lol) We brought in two sharks one was about 12 feet long and is without a doubt a once in a lifetime opportunity. We kept busy fishing for bait fish while we waited for the big guys. Family estimated we caught over 75 of them. Ryan worked like a dog the entire time working the water and fishing gear to make our experience as great as possible. When we decide to come back to Boston we're going to hit up Ryan for a trip. Further, Ryan also did a great job about explaining the local land marks and some history. We talked about the fishing industry and what fisherman and the government are doing to help preserve the fish for future generations. Ryan's attitude reflects that of a person who wants to continue to improve his skill and make sure the best possible experience is had. Ryan is quick to respond to messages and was clear in helping me navigate what I need and want out of the trip. This fishing trip will be the trip that my children will tell their grandkids about long after I'm gone.

Half day ground fishing on June 15, 2024

Captain Ryan and his mate Colby were hands down the best private charter I ever been on. Very knowledgeable and a great guy! There were 5 of us in our charter and as soon as Captain Ryan drove to the spot. We all started to catch fish; it was so surreal. We caught over 20 fish. We will enjoy these memories forever! Thank you. We will be back!
