We had such a great time on our fishing trip with Captain Vince and First mate Philomena. Even though the fish weren’t biting much for us, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. Captain Vince was the nicest person you could ask for—patient, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to give us the best chance at catching something, but more importantly, they made the whole trip feel like we were just out with friends for the afternoon instead of with strangers. He tried every spot and made the whole trip fun and relaxing regardless of the catch.  We’d definitely go back out with them again and highly recommend!

My family of five, including my 8-year-old daughters, had an absolute blast with Vince and Running Tide Charter. From the very first phone call, I could tell Vince was professional, personable, and committed to making sure we had a great experience.

We booked a 6-hour ocean fishing trip, and Vince delivered in every way. He put us right on the fish — we caught sea bass, trout, croaker, a skate, sea robins, and plenty of our target species: flounder. We brought home several keepers, including a beautiful 21” flounder!

Vince was great with the kids, kept the energy up, and made the whole experience fun and memorable. We’ve already recommended him to several friends, and if you’re looking to get offshore my family would absolutely recommend Running Tide Charter.

We had the most amazing time on our chartered fishing trip with Captain Philomena and her father! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, fun, and truly memorable. Captain Philomena was knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what she does. Her father brought years of experience and a great sense of humor, making us feel like part of the family from the moment we stepped aboard.

The boat was well-equipped and comfortable, and they knew exactly where to go to find the fish—we were reeling them in in no time! Beyond the great catches, what made this trip special was the atmosphere they created: relaxed, friendly, and full of laughter. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, you’ll walk away with unforgettable memories.

I can’t recommend this duo enough—book a trip with them and you won’t be disappointed!

Our fishing experience with Captain Vince and his crew member Mark was awesome. Really nice people, very helpful and knowledgeable! We had great conversations while fishing like we had known each other for years and they really knew where to find the fish! There were four of us and we all caught fish except my youngest but Captain Vince and Mark worked up until the last second to help him catch one. Even though he didn’t catch one he had a blast and cannot wait until we come back next year! We highly recommend Running Tide Charter!

We had an great day on the water with Captain Vince and Philomena! He did a fantastic job putting us on the fish, and his knowledge and experience really showed. What stood out most was how great he was with our young kids—patient, upbeat, and totally focused on making sure they had fun and stayed engaged. Everyone caught fish and had a blast. If you’re looking for a family-friendly fishing charter with a captain who knows his stuff and genuinely cares about your experience, Captain Vince is the one to book!
