Short review: It was AWESOME and so much better than expected.

Long Review: Booked a four-hour trip (8 a.m. to noon, 08/05/2026) on Magnanimous for myself, my son and two grandsons (ages 9 and 12). Fortunately, it was a beautiful day with clear skies, light winds and plenty of sunshine. My grandsons have never been on a trip like this and were really looking forward to catching “big fish” (something bigger than the trout and largemouth bass they were used to). And WOW, did the Magnanimous deliver! I have been on a number of charter fishing trips and I have to admit, this trip with Capt. Mark Haley and mate Casey far exceeded my expectations. The boat, a 26’ center console, was very clean and well equipped. The friendliness, the smiles and the patience the captain and mate displayed, especially with the boys, was incredible and greatly appreciated. And as for catching fish… they were all striped bass. We had to throw a few back in because they were either too larger or too small than regulations allowed. We did catch our limit of “keepers” (six fish) and had to throw one back in because it was more than we were allowed to keep. We had a great time and highly recommend fishing on the Magnanimous.

Went out with Mark this past Wednesday 8/19 with our family of 5.  Mark was a great captain, his boat was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of space for all of us.  Mark brought us to the perfect spot where we were able to reel in 4 striped bass, 2 of which were very nice sized keepers.  Mark fileted one of them for us at the dock (we chose to keep the other whole) and provided ice to keep them fresh.

Would highly recommend.

Suprised my BF and his friend with us going and we had a blast! The Captain and his son are very knowledgeable, kind and are locals!! Could not have hoped for a better experience :)!

Fantastic communication from the moment we booked through the end of the trip. My kids aged 15 through 9 all had an incredible experience. Captain Mark knows the area well and took great care of us. Best of all, we caught two large striped bass, which was a highlight we will not forget! Highly recommend!
