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...
Our fishing experience with Captain Vince and his crew member Mark was awesome. Really nice people, very helpful and knowledgeable! We had great conversations while fishing like we had known each other for years and they really knew where to find the fish! There were four of us and we all caught fish except my youngest but Captain Vince and Mark worked up until the last second to help him catch one. Even though he didn’t catch one he had a blast and cannot wait until we come back next year! We highly recommend Running Tide Charter!
Thank you for the kind words... hope to fish 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!!!
We really enjoyed our time on Vince's boat. Great conversation and vibe. We did catch a few flounder. Water was a bit choppy from an offshore tropical storm so fishing wasn't great but I'm sure next time we go out, we'll catch a bunch. Definitely recommend this charter, especially if you value good interactions with your captain. Rods worked well and were rigged up quite nicely. Live bait was a nice touch. Lots of rod holders as well. Just an overall good time.
Thanks for the kind words Troy, enjoyed fishing with you and your crew...
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
