  Fun day on the water

  5 Hr Haddock cod deep sea AM tripod septembar 12, 2026 • 6 adults

  What a great trip! We had a moms and 14yo sons fishing trip. Captain John and mate Jeff took great care of us. We didn't catch anything huge in spite of trying 3 spots, but we got a big mackerel and a haddock to keep. We also caught a small cod, redfish, and sculpin. John and Jeff were very friendly and had fun with the boys while keeping everyone safe. The boat had enough room for 6 passengers and nice places in the cabin to sit and chat on the ride out and also keep us out of the spray. Highly recommend.

  Fish of a lifetime!

  SPECIAL STANDUP Tuna & shark TRIPod jul 21, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain John and first mate Jeff were amazing! You catch fish together; you lose fish together. Together we caught a monster tuna! John, steering the boat, Jeff and I trading off reeling. (a real bonding experience!) It was too big to keep, but John and Jeff got it all the way to the boat to take pictures and an awesome video! I came all the way to Massachusetts to try and catch a big fish and they made sure it happened! This was an amazing experience! I never thought I would catch a giant bluefin tuna like that! Bucket list? CHECK! Cannot wait to do it again. Highly recommended for an experience of a lifetime.

  Highly Recommended Charter

  Combo your choice??!!!od jun 15, 2026 • 3 adults

  We had an all around wonderful experience with the charter; this includes booking it, communication with John along the way, and the fishing. We went out fishing in open water first and enjoyed catching Hollock and Cusk, and then went along the shore for striped bass (and threw in some local history). They even mongered and bagged the fish for us to take home. The boat had plent of room as well. John had a lot of knowledge over the years to know where to fish but also utilized his radio to communicate with other boaters on where the fish were biting. They worked with or son to show him how to fish. When we return, it is easy for us to repeat with John because it really was a wonderful eperience and highly recommended.

  nice trip out

  5 Hr Haddock cod deep sea AM tripod oktobar 19, 2025 • 4 adults

  We’ve fished all over on a variety of boats, using various fishing methods, with a variety captains and crews. Capt John had our safety as his top priority watching weather paterns and calling 4 days prior to departure then checking in daily up to our scheduled trip, as he had some concerns. We ended up being able to go out, and catch some fish! Jeff was personable and kept our lines baited. He and Capt John kept the boat tidy with everything in its place. Althoug the water was a little rough, you didnt feel much on that boat! like fishing with friends! highly recommend fishing with these guys if you get the chance!

  Hardworking, fun and safe crew

  5 Hr Haddock cod deep sea AM tripod jun 11, 2026 • 4 adults

  We went out with Captain John and his first Mate Jeff. They working their tails off the entire trip to ensure we had a safe, fun and productive fishing trip. Would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking to fish the Gloucester/Cape Ann area for whatever sort of fish they seek to catch. Will definitely go out with them again in the future.
