I have been fishing the north shore of Martha's Vineyard since I was maybe 8. My dad fished the same waters for years. We fish for black Sea Bass, Fluke, Scup and anytning else that comes along. I grew up fishing lobster gear and still do to this day. One thing about fishing, you never know how the day will end! Always fun!

2 Hour Trip – Family Fun (AM or PM) • 5 adults • 2 childrenCaptain John was fantastic! He was personable, hilarious, and absolutely wonderful with the kids. He made everyone feel comfortable, kept the energy high, and knew exactly what he was doing. And the fishing? Ridiculous. We caught an insane amount of fish! This was exactly the experience we were hoping for—a great captain, great time, happy kids, and a boat full of fish. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Highly recommend Captain John! 🎣

2 Hour Trip – Family Fun (AM or PM) • 4 adultsWe 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. On top of that, he was incredibly encouraging throughout the trip, which made the experience even better for everyone on board. We had so much fun and even caught a fish large enough to keep! We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to enjoy the seas, get some fishing in, and have fun with each other and the Captain. We will definitely make this a recurring experience next time we are on the Vineyard!

2 Hour Trip – Family Fun (AM or PM) • 4 adults • 2 childrenI 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 had an unforgettable experience. We had an awesome day on the water and I would absolutely book with Captain John again!
Response from CaptainMan Justin. Thank you so much for the kind words. Fishing is a combined effort and i think that day we all put our best into getting some. Thanks again for the charter and please call next year. Glad you guys had fun, thats all that matters. Capt John
Matthew O'haraNew York, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedGreat Family Fishing Trip!
2 Hour Trip – Family Fun (AM or PM) • 5 adults • 3 childrenCaptain 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!
Response from CaptainMatt. So glad you guys had fun. That is what is it all about for sure. You were a great family and hope to see you all again. Tell Little John good job on the shark. And your daughters know how to fish, which ia great. Thanks again. Capt John

2 Hour Trip – Family Fun (AM or PM) • 5 adultsHad a great time with Captain John. He took great care of a boat full of inexperienced anglers. Would recommend him highly. Especially great with kids. We appreciated his help when the girls caught a 3.5 foot shark!
