  great fishing!

  4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore - 1:00 PM on August 24, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

  we had a wonderful experience with Captain Chris. I had previously informed him about some in our party that were sensitive to motion sickness. he continued to ask how everyone was doing and said a plan B is in place should anyone feel uncomfortable. it was a little rough for us but we also new our best chances were to stick it out. good thing too! we caught our bait, whick was fun in itself, and that was key to catching strippers. we landed 4 and have seceraly strikes and losses. largest was 39” - what a blast! The boat cabin was well kept, really clean and comfortable. i would happily fish with him again. He is a laidback guy and carries a great smile.

  Captain Chris is Great

  4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on July 28, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain Chris was a wonderful captain. He knows the area, what’s biting, and he’ll let you know and give options to meet you where you’re at depending on what experience you’re looking for. We booked a 2h trip and a 4h trip over 2 days. Both were great. The 2h trip went quick, but we caught fish and my son had a great time. The next day we did a mix of hauling lobster traps and mackerel jigging. Both were productive and educational. We pivoted and tried different techniques at his recommendation with success. It was great! Chris was great. I’d definitely book with him again next time I’m in Portland!

  Awesome time!

  4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore - 1:00 PM on July 25, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  Captain chris met us at the boat with a great friendly attitude. He explained how the fishing had been, not great lately, and gave us options to rebook or give it a shot. It was a perfect day on the water so we gave it a shot and Captain Chris did his best to put it over fish and despite it being a really poor fishing day, we did manage to pull in a few mackerel, which was a lot of fun. We then scooted over to do some bottom Fishing and unfortunately struck out, but again he told us stories and gave us some navigation highlights as we went to the fishing spot, and was super great with the kids and very patient overall. It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend Captain Chris and the Lucy B !

  Perfect Day on the Water

  2 Hour Trip – Mackerel - 4:00 PM on June 29, 2026 • 4 adults

  my family and I booked a fishing excursion on the Lucy B with Captain Chris. We did the two hour mackerel fishing trip at 4 PM. The weather was absolutely perfect. Chris shared a lot of history about the area, the forts, the lighthouses. Unfortunately, the fish were not biting, but it was certainly not due to lack of effort on Captain Chris’s part. He moved his numerous times trying to find where the school of mackerel may be. We just happen to be right at low tide, which apparently often impacts fishing. My son was a little disappointed, not to have caught anything, but it’s called fishing not catching… I think two hours was the perfect amount of time. Would definitely do again!

  July Lobster & Mackerel Fishing

  4 Hour Combo – Lobster & Mackerel on July 15, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had the greatest pleasure to do a 4hr Lobster & Mackerel Charter with Capt Chris! From the moment we stepped out of our car Chris was ready to go! He was so much fun, shared everything he knew about the islands and the areas we were fishing. We started off slow but Chris knew when to reel in and hit another. We ended the trip with two dozen Mackerel. It was truly a blast. We went to all five of his lobster cages and were able to keep 3 based on their sizes! It was a great way to start our morning and highly recommend to anyone. CHRIS WAS THE BEST!!!
