What A Trip It Was!!!!

3 Hour Trip – Inshore3 adults1 child

We began our day with a delicious breakfast at Mom’s Kitchen—highly recommended for its cozy atmosphere and great food. Shortly afterward, we met Captain Matt at the dock and set off on our adventure. Within just 20 minutes, we were already reeling in fish! My daughter was thrilled, catching mackerel three at a time and having an absolute blast. Even my wife managed to land two fish on a single hook! Captain Matt was exceptional—friendly, patient, and wonderful with children. His enthusiasm and expertise made the entire outing unforgettable. This was a truly special experience for our family, and one we’ll cherish for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend this excursion to anyone, especially families looking to create lasting memories on the water.

    Highly recommend! 👏 Family Friendly!

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a wonderful experience with Captain Matt and the Lyda Rose crew! We booked a shorter 3 hour charter early in the season to see how our 9 year old would do, and it was the perfect trip for our family. Captain Matt was experienced, personable, and very positive throughout the entire trip. First mate Hayden was also great and very helpful with baiting hooks, casting lines, and making the experience easy and enjoyable for everyone. The boat was spacious, comfortable, and had a nice warm area inside while moving from spot to spot. We had a great time and can't wait to come back for a longer trip. Highly recommend!

    alot of types of fish in a short amount of time

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore - 10:00 AM • 2 adults • 1 child

    We booked this trip for our 10 year old to do some saltwater fishing. we had done the bigger boats where there is 50 or so people on it and you all go for haddock which is fun but we wanted something where he could see different types of fish and fishing. while on the boat with captain Matt we were able to go to 4 different spots and our 10 year old son was ecstatic to catch 4 different species. unfortunately only 1 was one we were allowed to keep worth eating but it was about the catching experience for him. we have already decided to book 1 or 2 more longer trips with captain Matt as our son thought we needed more time fishing to find more fish.

    Wonderful afternoon fishing experience!

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore - 1:00 PM • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Matthew Cooney was knowledgeable and personable! I purchased the 3 hour inshore trip for my son and nephew’s 13th birthdays and they expressed it was an unforgettable experience! Captain took is to catch bait first and the boys quickly filled the bucket with 20+ mackerel (3-5 per cast)! They both reeled keeper strippers while I enjoyed the ocean breeze, sunshine and picturesque landscapes. This was my first ocean fishing trip and I found it safe, fun and educational! I would highly recommend and hope to return for a longer trip in the near future.

    We had such a great experience with Captain Matt and his first mate! We caught two striper, plus a bunch of mackerel and pollock, and had a fantastic time from start to finish. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip fun and easy. Great day on the water and we’d absolutely book with them again!
