Amazing Fishing Trip with David and Matt!
Inshore PM (Boston Pickup/Dropoff) on August 29, 2024
I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing charter with Captain David and Mate Matt, and I can't recommend them enough! David was an excellent captain who made everyone feel welcome from the start. His knowledge of the waters and fishing was impressive, and he ensured we were comfortable and well-informed throughout the trip. Matt, the mate, is second to none when it comes to spotting live bait, especially pogies. His sharp eyes and passion for fishing made all the difference. Both David and Matt clearly love what they do, and their enthusiasm made the trip not only successful but incredibly enjoyable. If you're looking for a fun, well-run fishing charter with a top-notch crew, look no further!

Incredible!
Lobster Charter (Boston Pickup) on August 9, 2024
Captain Dave and his first mate Glenn are amazing! We have done numerous fishing charters and have never experienced the genuine care in ensuring that everyone has an incredible day of fishing as we did with Dave and Glenn. My son wanted to try lobster fishing and they made him feel like a valuable deckhand. He was thrilled! After a successful lobster haul, Captain Dave went an hour over our time to give my son the additional experience of reeling in a large bass. It was incredible; the highlight of our vacation!!! Blueline Fishing Charters has my highest recommendation for a truly amazing fishing experience!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on August 13, 2024
Absolute 5 star experience and great trip. Would absolutely recommend this charter. There was 4 of us and Captain Dave and Steve were great. They really know what they are doing. They are patient and very kind. They made us feel very at home. The trip was a 16th birthday present for my oldest and he loved every moment of it. The crew is well versed in safety as well. We caught 8 Stripers on our trip and 3 of which were keepers. Once again a definite 5 ⭐️ trip, if you’re looking to do a charter.
