Great trip
5/5
Although it was a slow day of fishing, Tom was great and went to several different spots and tried different fishing techniques to try and put us on the fish and we did end up pulling in one fish and a couple keeper lobsters. We had a great time seeing the area from the boat and would definitely book again!

Captain Joe put us on fish right away
5/5
Joe took me and my 3 grandchildren (ages 7, 7 and 9) out for a great morning of fishing and learning about oysters, crabs and lobsters. The look on my grandkids faces said it all when they brought up 3 fish at a time. Can’t wait till next year to try again to land a big striped bass.

My daughter and I had a great time with Captain Chris. He accommodated us and added a different time. We were visiting from Upstate NY. He also gave us a leisurely boat ride waiting for the waves to settle down. It was worth the wait! 9 lobsters 🦞

Chris is an amazing Captain. We caught bait fish, three striped bass, one was 40”
long and a lobster! We will definitely be booking again. He has was friendly, energetic and put us in the fish. Also- he had a great playlist. Chris’s fantastic personality made our trip one to remember.
