★★★★★
We went into this excursion with a "whatever" mentality, believing that even a bad day fishing is better than doing anything else. This crew worked hard! Put us on the fish and made it all so easy. Great communication before and during the trip too. Fun day with Grandpa, two dads and three little girls learning the joy of fishing. Crew very attuned that we had kids and really worked hard to pay them special attention and make sure they enjoyed the day. We would charter these guys again.

Trip: Catch Your Own Tasty Lobster!
★★★★★
Chris was outstanding as a captain. Aside from is plentiful fishing knowledge and keeping us on bites all day long he was good to talk to and kept us on the fish the entire time we were out there. Even with a shorter half day trip Chris made sure to get us as much fish as possible in the shortened amount of time. The boat was very well kept and gave us many pointers as to how to prepare and cook the fish we caught. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back very soon!

★★★★★
Paul and first mate Gary worked hard all day on our 8 hour trip offshore. Targeting Blackfin Tuna, Mackerel and Sailfish all day and keeping us over the fish with consistent bites. Would definitely recommend to anybody who wants a good experience offshore and will hopefully be back again in the future.
