We were aboard the Trinacria for a relaxing night cruise along Charlestown and Boston Harbor. One of us had secondary objectives in the form of getting some general advice from Captain Rick about buying a boat.

Beautiful clear evening. We didn’t want to fish. We wanted a tour, some dinner and drinks just prowling the works of the inner harbor and watching the water traffic. It’s a different perspective on what we see in the day to day, with the Captain a knowledgeable guide to tell you about the interesting bits. Fun, the night makes it seem almost sneaky, and the quiet beauty of it beats a conventional tour by a long ways.

The Trinacria is big, clearly more powerful than anything we’d require for the evening, but this was a very cushy ride, great for quiet conversation and the good food we’d brought.

One of our party was in the market for a boat and had questions. Captain Rick recommended something like the Trinacria, but the reasons why were interesting, revolving around issues like automation and heavier boats being more stable, easier to control.

He berths the boat in a very nice private marina with residences on the premises, and can tell you about that place and others on the city harbor. He admits that a primary reason to live there is to eat in great restaurants in walking distance.

Highly recommended for the guide to Boston and the good, spotless boat. I’m presuming the fishing works well too.

What can I say. Been a Freedom Boat Member for 6 years with little success catching the big ones. Took a one day Fishing Charter with Captain Rick and the Trinacria and had the first keeper striper in the cooler within a half out of leaving the dock!
Captain Rick is certainly an experienced boat captain that knows Boston Harbor and surrounding areas very well. My son was so excited for what Rick was able to teach him about rigging the line and fishing his special spots. Learned how the bait fish out at Graves and Rick actually shared his lobster trapping experience with us.

Can’t say enough about our experience and have already booked 3 outings for this season!

Thanks Trinacria & Crew.

The fishing charter was a perfect blend of fun and professionalism. The crew made the experience enjoyable with their friendly demeanor and helpful guidance throughout the trip. We caught plenty of fish, and their expertise ensured we had a successful and memorable day on the water. The boat was immaculate. All communications and pick up were in a timely manner.
We Highly recommended

We had a great trip! Captain Riccardo was extremely knowledgeable and happy to share his expertise which we were all happy and curious to learn. He and his First Mate Judah knew the Boston Harbor islands and about boating and fishing like the back of their hand and were really nice about teaching us (a bunch of noobs) the ropes. It was a great day/ highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful trip with Captain Riccardo, absolutely loved it! The captain and his crew were true professionals—knowledgeable, and friendly. The views of the sunset over the water were breathtaking. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing experience on the water.
