We signed up on an unseasonably chilly,  overcast & rainy spring day so the fish weren’t biting.  But Bob and his crewmate worked hard to find us a spot where the fish would cooperate but without any luck. We chose this charter for the good ratings & great things people had to say about Bob - and we’re glad we did! Bob was welcoming from the moment we arrived & apologized when the fish & the weather didn’t cooperate.  Mother Nature had other plans.  But we will be back! Probably a little closer to summer next time. I was in the area visiting my son who works for the Local 10 Union.  We are from Michigan, so we were happy to be out on the water & just glad it wasn’t snowing!  We still highly recommend Bob & this charter, no question 👍

I and two of my brothers stepped onto Captain Bob’s boat having never done any sea-fishing before and had an experience none of us will ever forget—getting to fight with a massive ray on the end of the line, and although it ended in heartbreak as the ray snapped the line close to the boat after about thirty minutes, it was an incredible first fish. The mackerel fishing afterward was just gravy, they were coming in ones and twos and eventually had all the rods lighting up at the same time.

Captain Bob and First Mate E. were courteous, easy-going, and great to banter with. The boat was well-equipped and stocked, and the large overhead canopy was a godsend in the 95-degree full-sun.

Will definitely be coming back for more when I can.

Captain Bob and E were both amazing and super friendly! The boat was very clean and well maintained. We ended up catching 61 fish 3 of which were bluefish, and the rest were Spanish mackerel. Even though we didn’t catch anything big, everyone in our group had a blast! The only thing I would advise is to check water conditions before your trip if you have small children or a tendency to get seasick as our trip was pretty choppy, but again our group (all adults) was perfectly fine. If you are able, leave a generous tip for the first mate (E) as he works tips and works very hard! I would definitely recommend Catherine C. Charters!

This was a Father’s Day trip for my Dad, my son, and other men in my family. We all loved it. This boat was clean and well-maintained. The Captain and crew took care of everything. It didn’t take long before we were on the fish. When the biting slowed, the mate checked the lines and changed bait if needed. There were other boats in the same area as us, but they weren’t catching, we were. We had about four get off the lines, but it was OK. Had we landed them, we would have been at the limit. That’s how good Captain Bob kept us on the mackerel. After the trip they cleaned them all and bagged the up. All we had to do was take em home and cooked em. I can’t wait to go back on The Catherine C.
