  Tailored and Personal

  4 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM on July 23, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  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! Fred, Fred Jr., Daniella, and Oliver

  awesome fishing experience

  3 Hour Trip on June 21, 2026 • 5 adults

  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!

  Joan — thank you for such an incredible review! 🔥 Reading this absolutely made our day! It was an honor having your family aboard, and seeing everyone laughing, learning, and reeling in fish is exactly why we love what we do. 🎣 From porgy to stripers you all crushed it! Watching your youngest gain confidence and never give up was one of the highlights of the trip. Those moments are what make these family adventures so special. We truly appreciate your kind words. We work hard to create more than just a fishing trip — we want every charter to be a memory your family will talk about for years to come. Thank you for trusting ON THE EDGE CHARTERS, for recommending us to others, and for bringing such amazing energy aboard. We can’t wait to have you back for Round 2… with even bigger fish, bigger smiles, and another unforgettable day on the water! Tight lines, great memories, and good times always! 🐟🌊⚓️ – Capt. Rick

  Phenomenal Kids Trip!

  4 Hour Trip – Kids Special - 12:00 PM on August 2, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

  All my kids had the best time. Captain Rick was patient and kind. We caught tons of Sea Bass. Also, my stomach couldn’t handle the seas, but the kids rocked it. Captain Rick was kind to me and took care of the kids while I composed myself (ha). At the end of the trip, Captain Rick cleaned the fish and we had an excellent dinner! We appreciate all Captain Rick did on our trip. We made a ton of memories, and my kids are already planning their next fishing trip. Would recommend On the Edge Fishing trips to anyone looking to learn and enjoy their time in the ocean!

I’m glad they made so many great memories. I’m also happy we could help make things a little easier when the seas got to you.

  Best fishing trip!

  4 Hour Trip – Kids Special - 12:00 PM on May 23, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

  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!
