Great 4 hour lobstering/ fishing trip out of Boston Harbor

1/2 Day – Lobstering & Fishing Noon6 adults

My family and I had a great time on the 4-hour lobstering/ fishing trip with Captain Ricardo. We began by retrieving lobster traps and rebaiting them for the first time. Captain Ricardo and his First Mate, Ronin, were extremely knowledgeable and walked us through the process seamlessly. We came away from the trip with 6 fresh and tasty lobsters that were cooked on the grill. After the lobstering, Captain Ricardo suggested we go fishing behind some rocks where the waves were less choppy and would help my sister, who started to get seasick while we were pulling up lobster traps. While fishing, we caught a Cunner that was later cooked on the grill with the lobster (Also caught a cod, but it was out of season). The crew helped us rig the fishing gear and helped prepare bait for the poles. Will definitely book again with Captain Ricardo for his great people skills and knowledge of fishing.

    Wonderful Girls Weekend Sunset Cruise!!!

    Susan's Fishing Trip Saturday 9/19 • 5 adults

    We went to Boston to celebrate our mother on a wonderful girls weekend! One of the highlights was a fabulous sunset cruise. Rick and his team were wonderful. It was a peaceful ride and we were able to see so so many beautiful sites of Boston on the water. We popped a bottle of champagne, shared fun memories, and learned more about Boston’s history. The boat was a perfect size for the five of us and they were so accommodating and wonderful. We can’t wait to return and do a longer trip with Rick and his team. We highly recommend going on any boat adventure with Rick. Cheers.

    Unforgettable trip with Trinacria Fishing

    8 Hour Trip – Lobstering & Fishing • 6 adults

    This was our second year booking Trinacria Fishing, and Captain Ricardo and first mate Richie once again delivered a day we won't forget. We went out to celebrate my son's birthday and brought a couple of his friends along, and it turned out to be one of the best days we've had on the water. We started with lobstering, which was a huge hit with the boys. Ricardo really knows his stuff. He spotted an egg-bearing female that hadn't been notched yet and showed the kids why we had to toss her back to protect the population. We also pulled up one with two crusher claws and a tiny one he jokingly called a "key chain" because it was so small. The boys loved every minute of it. Then we moved on to fishing, and Ricardo took us to four different spots. We caught fish at every single one. We ended up landing 40+ fish across about 10 different species, including cod, mackerel, flounder, cunner, and even squid. The action barely stopped. What really made the day was how Ricardo and Richie treated the kids. They baited every hook and unhooked every fish so the boys could just focus on catching, and they were endlessly patient. Richie took the time to explain each species we pulled in, so the kids walked away having actually learned something about what they caught. Two years running now, and we'll absolutely be back. If you're looking for a fun, hands-on charter that's genuinely great with kids, I can't recommend Trinacria Fishing enough

    The most comfortable interactive Lobster Fishing

    4 Hour Trip – Lobstering & Fishing

    Trinacria Fishing Charters was absolutely amazing! Captain Riccardo is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and makes sure everyone feels comfortable and safe throughout the entire trip. What impressed me most was how incredibly smooth the boat ride was. Unlike many fishing boats that bounce hard with every wave, this boat felt comfortable and stable, making it an excellent choice for seniors, kids, families, and first-time anglers. The boat also has A/C and a restroom, which makes the experience feel like VIP treatment! Whether you choose a fishing charter, sunset cruise, or lobster fishing adventure, you will have an unforgettable time. The lobster fishing was definitely a WOWZER experience! 🦞 We caught multiple lobsters, and it became one of the highlights of our Boston trip. If you’re searching for a comfortable Boston fishing charter, family-friendly boat trip, senior-friendly fishing experience, lobster fishing, or sunset cruise, I strongly recommend Captain Riccardo and Trinacria Fishing Charters. Five stars all the way! 🎣⚓️🦞

    An Unforgettable Father’s Day Charter Family, Fun, and a Lobster Surprise!

    4 Hour Trip - 12:00 PM • 6 adults

    We had an incredible Father’s Day experience chartering the Trinacria out of Boston with my family, including my nephew visiting from Las Vegas. From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Riccardo and his first mate were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel like part of the family. It was especially meaningful to see how much time they took to engage with us my nephew, who has been on many fishing trips across the U.S., shared that this was by far the most informative experience he’s had, thanks to the first mate’s willingness to explain different fishing and lobstering techniques. We were even lucky enough to catch a lobster, which made the day even more memorable! Even though we didn’t land any fish (understanding it was early in the season), the experience was still an absolute success because of the fun, learning, and genuine connection we had. The boat was clean, comfortable, and full of great energy. After extensive research, we’re so glad we chose this charter and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water! Best, Miah

    Very meaningful service

    Sea Services TRIP 6/13/2026 10:00AM • 2 adults

    Captain Riccardo is wonderful to work with. During a very emotional and important time for families, he consistently shows kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion. Everything is handled with care and attention to detail, and families are supported throughout the entire process in a respectful and reassuring way. I would highly recommend Captain Riccardo to anyone seeking a respectful and professional burial-at-sea or memorial service. He provides great comfort to families during a difficult time, and we are very grateful for everything he does.
