Full Day Trip – Tuna on July 20, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had an amazing trip with Sea Charters Sportfishing. The captain and crew were true experts, worked incredibly hard, and put us on a massive bluefin tuna. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’d absolutely recommend them. One thing I think is helpful for first-time tuna fishermen to know is what happens if you catch a tuna larger than 73 inches. Under the regulations, the fish must be sold, and you won’t get to keep any of the meat. As first timers for fishing Bluefin, We weren’t aware of that beforehand, so I just wanted to mention it so future customers know what to expect before booking. Other than that, the trip was outstanding, and the crew was fantastic.

Half Day Trip – Striped Bass (AM) on July 2, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 childCaptain was patient with my 3 boys and wife making sure everyone caught some fiah and learned alot. Casting plugs to huge striped bass is exciting and this is one boat on the cape that excells at letting charters experience it. Way more fun than trolling.
Danny PopeRepeat angler•Florida, US•Member since 20236 trips5.0VerifiedEpic trip of a lifetime

Matt Thomas•Connecticut, USMember since 20265.0Verifiedfriendly and really great effort mobing us to where the fish were
Half Day Trip – Striped Bass (PM) on July 2, 2026 • 6 adultsGreat fishing day with me and my teenage boys and their friends. we all caught something. great memories!
Kevin ComptonRepeat angler•New Jersey, US•Member since 20234 trips5.0VerifiedHad to work for the fish but we got them
Half Day Trip – Striped Bass (PM) on June 26, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Charles was awesome with my wife and I. He worked his butt off to find the fish. Went the first three hours with only 1 short striper to show. He kept trying different spots and different techniques. Eventually we got lucky and he saw the birds hitting the surface a few miles away and made a run to them. Within 20 minutes we had our two slot sized and some keeper seabass with the mix. Had an amazing trip especially for it being my wife’s first trip ever out on the water. I’d highly recommend him and will be using him in the future the next time I’m on the cape

Half Day Trip – Striped Bass (AM) on August 13, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Charles got us right on the fish. First cast was a keeper! This trip was our daughter's (8 & 10) first time fishing for bass. Captain Charles got them set and showed them how it is done. We all caught a few and had a blast! We highly recommend Captain Charles.
Jacqueline CorboyRepeat angler•Massachusetts, US•Member since 20212 trips5.0VerifiedHome run!
Half Day Trip – Striped Bass (AM) on August 11, 2025 • 6 adultsThis is our second outing with Capt. Charles and we again were successful! The larger boat was a huge plus with 4-6ft breakers at the inlet - another charter turned back but this boat got through without any trouble and our group caught 8+ fish (kept 3), but thrilling for all
Sean BohanRepeat angler•Connecticut, US•Member since 20252 trips5.0VerifiedExcellent charter!

My family and I had an awesome trip with Captain Charles on our recent vacation to Cape Cod. We initially had booked a full day tuna charter, but because of weather and other commitments we had to pivot to a half-day striper charter. From the get go Captain Charles was excellent. As soon as we stepped on the boat, he put us at ease and was very engaging. Maybe more importantly Captain Charles put us on fish right away and within 2 to 3 minutes of getting our lines wet, each of my son, his buddy, and I were all reeling in our first stripers.  An important distinction that I’d want to point out for people looking to engage a charter or guide, Captain Charles does not simply trawl or bottom fish. Rather, we were casting top water and catching a significant amount of striper while they would breach and attack our top water lures.  All five of us caught multiple good sized striper larger than 30 inches with the largest being just about 40 inches. The cherry on top for our trip came towards the end of our adventure. While moving to our last fishing spot, we spotted two separate instances of mako sharks attacking stripers. The most impressive came when a mako took half of a striper, circled our boat a couple of times and then breached on the remaining half of the striper about 20 yards from the boat. it was amazing! We will be back again and will book a charter with Captain Charles. We can’t wait to finally get our tuna charter on the books!by
