Captain John was awesome. Lots of communication pre-departure around changing weather. Ended up able to go and our kids (10, 8, and 5) were hooked up to fish all morning. Two hours was the perfect length of time to get out and catch some fish for this age. John kept the rods going, helped as much or as little as needed for each age, and was friendly and knoweldgeable about the area. Hope to fish with him again! Brought a ton of fish on board for lots of smiles and great photo ops!

We are more than thrilled with our experience with Captain John Hobby and Vineyard Boat Charters! From start to finish, the entire trip was absolutely incredible. Captain John was fantastic—he is highly experienced, gave us a ton of great information about the local waters, and kept us feeling safe and secure the entire time.

I can’t recommend Captain John enough!  He was incredibly patient and helpful, making sure everyone had a great time from start to finish. His communication before the trip was excellent and he made sure the entire experience was easy and stress-free. He is experienced and knows where to find the fish - we caught several black sea bass and the highlight was my son catching a cape shark! He took time to help everyone aboard, answered all our questions, and made sure my son and niece... More

Can’t say enough great things about fishing with Capt. John. My 13yo son loves fishing and John was terrific with him, let my son weigh in on places to fish from and they had a great banter and rapport the entire fishing trip. John’s boat was very comfortable and it was a lovely morning and will be a new addition to our future MV lists of things to do.

We booked a trip for our family of 5 and would highly recommend John. It was the perfect day to be on the water and John was super helpful and great with our kids (17,15&9) Everyone was able to reel in multiple fish and even one big enough to keep. John took care of everything and we were able to just enjoy our time together fishing.
