    First time, best time!

    Kids Inshore Fishing 2.5 hr - 2:00 PM on October 10, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Awesome first-time experience booking a fishing charter! We are a family of four doing this for the first time including two under 10 y.o. and had a blast. Captain Chris is very patient, skilled, and experienced. I used to think fishing was boring but damn, not anymore! We went home with 15 fish and caught a ton of black sea bass and scup. We caught our dinner and then some! Definitely coming back for seasons to come!

    Perfect day, perfect charter

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a 4 hr trip starting at 7 am and Chris did not disappoint as our captain. We started striper fishing near Martha’s Vineyard and my father and I caught 2 with Chris’s guidance. After that we moved out into Nantucket Sound to ground fish and my Dad cleaned house pulling in 3 sea bass and 2 big scup. It was a great day and we’d definitely do it again. Can’t recommend Squid Row enough.

    Perfect trip experience

    Quick & Easy Inshore Fishing 2.5 hr - 11:00 AM on June 24, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    This was beyond perfect. Had kids and adults having their first experience of deep sea fishing and it met all expectations and more. Chris was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in every way. His gear and techniques were great and he was very good on teaching the kids and helping them.

    Very patient and informative

    Quick & Easy Inshore Fishing 2.5 hr on June 17, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Fishing with Squid Row was a great experience. This was our first time in Cape Cod and we had a 12 and 13 year old with limited fishing experience. Chris was quick to help and very patient. He even gave tips on how to cook our catch and was friendly enough to follow up to make sure we had a good time.

    Great Successful Trip!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on September 20, 2025 • 2 adults

    I would highly recommend Captain Chris to anyone from beginners to experienced fisherman. He is local with years of experience on the water and knows where and how to target different fish species. We had a little bit of a rougher morning on the water due to some wind but that didn’t stop us. We were on the fish within the first hour and had a blast chasing them all morning/afternoon. We each caught a few fish and made some awesome memories! We’ll definitely be back with Captain Chris in the future!

    Great time!

    Quick & Easy Inshore Fishing 2.5 hr on June 21, 2025 • 3 adults

    Chris was great. He was accommodating and friendly. He took us to some good spots. We caught lots of fish and even a couple of sharks. Highly recommend. It was also not too long. My kids are older (teens) and they felt like they had plenty of time out there.
