We had an amazing day. Captain Don was willing to tailor the trip to what we wanted. He does his research, and put us in the right spots at the right times. He’s also friendly and articulate which was a huge bonus in this business! I would go again tomorrow if I could, and highly recommend 😁

We had an incredible day out on the water. Rich worked his magic to get us into some fish. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed every minute. The boat was well maintained and well equipped with everything we could possibly need. Thank you for a fantastic experience, we will be back again for sure.

Don was knowledgeable, funny, and friendly. We didn’t catch any fish sadly but the weather was beautiful and we had the best time! Going home with the legal limit of crab each doesn’t hurt either. Thanks to Chris and Don and the rest of rising tides for making it an awesome experience!

We are so glad you had such an amazing day and the weather cooperated, sorry this fish didn’t. We definitely look forward to the next trip and hopefully you have a bit more time for a good halibut set! Amazing pictures of what we are so lucky to be our playground. Safe travels home.
