We had such a great time on our fishing trip with Captain Vince and First mate Philomena. Even though the fish weren’t biting much for us, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. Captain Vince was the nicest person you could ask for—patient, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to give us the best chance at catching something, but more importantly, they made the whole trip feel like we were just out with friends for the afternoon instead of with strangers. He tried every spot and made the whole trip fun and relaxing regardless of the catch. We’d definitely go back out with them again and highly recommend!
Thank you for the kind words, looking forward to fishing with you and your crew again...
my son and i made a last second decision to do a charter and it worked out great! Captain Vince and his son Dominik were great. They're super knowledgeable and very hard-working. We caught so many black Seabass. I had to stop counting. It was probably over 100... and a couple of Tautog. I highly recommend and will definitely use again.
Thanks for fishing with us Tony and Drew... you guys are welcome back anytime... we enjoyed your enthusiasm and commitment to keep on dropping them lines and reeling in fish!!!
When we arrived it was an easy location to find and park at. They were there and ready to go on time. Discussed safety. We fished for flounder the first half, caught a few. Moved to another area and switched gear, caught even more fish. They were great with the kids too.
Thank you for fishing with us, I really enjoyed meeting you and your family, keep on your very exciting journey exploring... I hope we get the chance to fish together again.. all the best, Capt Vince
Captain Vince was awesome, he took us right to the fish and did great helping our two younger girls. He was very personable and great to talk to. Vince and his first mate were very knowledgeable and made sure we had the best time. I’ll definitely book again.
We took my seven year old daughter on this boat for her first time fishing and it was the best experience ever. They let her sit in the captains seat and she caught the first fish of the day. The crew were so nice and did everything to make sure we caught fish. At the end of the trip, he drove us to one island and we got to see some ponies. I would recommend this boat to anyone looking for a great family fishing trip.
Thank you for the kind words Steve, it was nice to meet you and your family, hope to fish with you and your crew in the future.
