Half Day AM with Will on the Seanachie
I **highly** suggest booking Will if you are in the area. Not only did he and his mate put us on fish everywhere we went, it was non-stop laughs and a good time. My wife had never held a fishing rod previous to this trip -- Will & Jake were fantastic teachers. We came home with more fish than we knew what to do with and just had a great time. His boat is as sturdy and reliable as they come with PLENTY of fish space for a 29' New England style downeaster. I prefer this style of fishing anyway rather than banging around on a center console! His boat has a hull that is designed to slice through any swell or wake that came at us! I enthusiastically recommend reaching out to Captain Will and take a trip with him!

3 Hour Morning Trip
Outstanding!
Captain and mate were awesome and fun to hang out with. They went out of their alway to make my six-year-old’s first charter as fun as it could be and they were both great with him. My wife and I used to boat and saltwater fish hundreds of hours a year before the boy was born so we had lots to talk about and they let us be as active as we wanted to since we *used to be* familiar with life on the water. Can’t recommend this Charter enough, and we WILL book again in the future. Thanks for a great time, boys. Hoi toide on th’ soundsoide, it’s slickcam an’ there’s feesh!

Outstanding experience!!
We (myself, hubby, and 9 year old twins had a BLAST on our fishing excursion. Like all the other reviews, we found Will and Jake great with the kids. Conversation was so easy, and the fishing plentiful. We extended our trip by an hour as time flew!! We caught Mangrove snapper, black drum, spade fish and whiting (and a toad fish, puffer fish, and a tiny sea bass we had to throw back)…. We HIGHLY recommend booking with Will, and look forward to going out again next time we are in town!

There are things you can’t control when fishing. You can’t control the weather and you can’t make the fish go crazy. What you can do is have a good attitude and a friendly demeanor. These guys worked so hard on a day that wasn’t the best day. We still got on some fish and had fun despite the conditions. They gave me the option to cancel but my family wanted to go. Like I said, they did better than most fisherman can do in the cold and wind. My boys caught the biggest they have got to date and had a blast. Total pleasure to meet Will and Jake. Thanks

BEST FISHING CHARTER EVER
My two sons (11 and 8) and I went on a 4 hour fishing trip with Captain Will and his mate, Jake. We had an absolutely phenomenal time. We caught over 15 fish, had great conversation and an absolute brilliant time. It couldnt have gone better. They were so kind and engaging to the kids and so helpful and full of knowledge. They knew all the great spots and we caught like 7 or 8 different species. From black drums to red fish to grouper. Absolute top notch charter with top notch instruction. Keep up the awesome work guys. Can’t wait to do it again soon!!!
