On The Edge Charters 

Every summer our family makes the trip to New England, and one tradition we never skip is getting out on the water. We want our kids to experience the same incredible coastal fishing that I fell in love with years ago, and this trip exceeded every expectation. From the moment we stepped aboard, Capt. Rick treated us like lifelong friends instead of customers. His passion for fishing, easygoing personality, and genuine love for sharing the experience made the entire day unforgettable. The highlight came early when my 4-year-old son caught the very first fish of the trip—his first fish ever! Capt. Rick patiently coached and encouraged him every step of the way, creating a memory that neither of us will ever forget. After that, the action never slowed down. It seemed like every time a line hit the water, someone was reeling in another fish. What really sets Capt. Rick apart isn’t just that he knows where the fish are—it’s the way he brings the history of the New England coast to life. His stories, local knowledge, and obvious respect for the fishery added a whole new dimension to the trip. He was constantly attentive, making sure everyone—from my youngest to the adults—was having an incredible time. If you’re looking for more than just a fishing charter—if you want an experience your family will be talking about long after the vacation is over—book with Capt. Rick. We made memories that will last a lifetime. We’ll absolutely be back next year… but this time, we’re coming for the sharks. Thanks for an unforgettable day, Captain!

we had a blast! Capt. Rick and his first mate Justin are awesome! very knowledgeable, patient, and down to earth. I cant say enough good things about them. I will be recommending them to everyone i know and we will def be coming back. my kids, my husband, and I had such a good time and capt. rick was very patient with them. he explained to my youngest how to hold each fish and encouraged him when he was struggling. we caught quite a few fish scup, porgy, stripers, and a dogfish. At the end they cleaned the fish and filleted them for us. they really just went above and beyond. charter them and you’ll see what i mean, you wont be disappointed!

Captain Rick was great - super responsive to my inquiries, organized, and punctual and very knowledgeable of course. He's safety conscious with the kids and made sure we all had fun (and caught a ton!). We appreciated all the little extras - fun facts about the harbor, checking out the shipwreck and yacht, the music and of course the bonus stripers on the dock. I highly recommend On the Edge Charters and would not hesitate to book again. Thanks, Rick! Oh and the fish is delicious!

We had an amazing time out there together! Rick was amazing and knowledgeable and very helpful. I would highly recommend him and will definitely book with him again next time we are in the area. Anyone who is looking for an exciting time without having a lot of time this 3 hr trip is perfect!

Captain Rick was great and helpful explaining things. we caught Black Sea Bass and Scup. He was also easy to work with rescheduling around a small craft advisory.
