Family fun on the sea venture

3 Hour Trip - Inshore5 adults3 children

Captain Stassi and his first mate Mel showed a family with 3 kids a fun time at just the right pace for first time fishermen. Exactly the amount of time and action for us but I’m sure he kicks it up depending on skill level. I liked his motta, Life is short, fish hard. Thanks Peter and Mel.

Response from Captain

Thank you for the positive review. We also had a great time having you and your family on board. Thanks again.

    Fun and Perfect 5th Birthday

    3 Hr Customer Picks Start Time • 5 adults • 3 children

    What a fantastic fishing trip! From the moment we stepped aboard, we were welcomed with warm smiles and even a special Happy Birthday sign that made the day feel extra memorable. The boat was fully stocked with plenty of fishing rods and bait, and the captain clearly knew exactly where to find the fish. We caught a couple of flounders, a skate, and—believe it or not—a shark! To top it all off, there was a thoughtful birthday gift and balloon waiting for the birthday guest. An unforgettable experience with an amazing crew—we can’t wait to come back!

    Reported Catch

    Good Time

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) • 6 adults

    Captain Pete and Fran are great. They both work hard to get us some fish. They were also good with inexperienced anglers. We had a blast on the water

    Fun Day of Fishing

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 5 adults

    We had a lovely day inshore fishing with Peter and his daughter (the first mate). The boat was great and well kept. And the grandkids had a blast reeling in fluke (as well as skate, a couple of sharks and even a crab!) My only complaint was that I found out the night before there was a minimum $200 gratuity to the mate, which was more than 20% of cost of the entire trip. This felt excessive since, other than baiting our hooks, she only had to filet the one fish we caught that was large enough to keep.

    Response from Captain

    Steve.. We enjoyed having you and your family on board as well. Yes Everybody told me they had a “Great Time” a “Terrific Time” There was plenty of action for everybody. Most of all everybody loved the boat, and all its features... The two kids were over whelmed with joy and the total experience catching fish after fish. I am so sorry that you did not see the section on the listing requesting a minimum Tip of $200 for the mate. That wording is clearly posted on my Fishing Booker listing. I have been running charters for a very long time and NO one ever complained about tipping the Mates before. I guess you have NO idea on how hard it is to keep good mates on the boat. Most people do realize how important the Mates job is on a Fishing Boat. Like you said the boat looks great and is well kept because of the Mate. They are the Un sung heroes that make the whole trip perfect. The mates job starts at least one hour before the trip and ends hours later after doing clean Up. It’s a short season and No one wants to put in those hours because there is NO Money to be made. Again, I am so Sorry you missed the $200 Dollar minimum on the listing. I hope you can get over it. The most important thing is that Everyone, and I mean Everybody enjoyed themselves and had a Great Time... That alone is Priceless, and well worth the extra $50 bucks you voluntarily kicked in. We hope to see you again. Capt. Peter Stassi
