Both were friendly and excited to get the day started. We took the 2-5pm trip which was beautiful in the Boston summer. The boat was spacious and updated, and the ride was smooth the entire time. Rob knows his fish! In a matter of minutes we caught two large striped bass. We ended with 5 and had one appropriately sized to take home. Rob and dean were friendly and educational throughout. My son had an absolute blast. We ended with a Captain Rob surprise which I won't ruin. Overall a phenomenal experience. Highly recommend this to anyone of any age. We plan to go back out with CJ Victoria in the future.

They had an amazing time, and did not once complain about getting up and out the door by 5:15 AM during summer vacation! I can vouch for the size of the fish, as tons came back home for grilling. I'm so happy they filleted it for them. Not something in my skill set... The boys all told great stories about their half day adventure. They clearly loved it and were very comfortable aboard the boat. They said they had help when they needed it but learned a lot too about fishing for "big fish" versus the small ones off our cove on the Cape. Scott's responsiveness surpassed my expectations and the booking process was a dream! I highly recommend this option if you wish to fish in Boston Habah...well technically, you go a bit beyond this famous waterway to get to the fishing spots...

But more importantly, it was not the weather that decided the success of the trip, but captain Brian! He knows his stuff very well.

He also knows some interesting facts about the harbor which he shared with us. In the end we very happy with our trip and got home with two beautiful striped bass. The fish was super rich and tasty too when we cooked it back at home.

We went lobster fishing. The boat is so steady, it wasn't rocking around too much. Rick gave us each a job to do. One was to record how many lobsters in the trap, which were keepers and which we had to throw back because it was either female (breeder) or too small. I had the job of measuring the lobster for size. Rick taught us that if it's a breeder, you clip the tail to indicate that it's a breeder. My sister in law was recording the number caught in each trap. My brother in law helped with steering the boat (he has a boat too.) My husband helped with gathering the lobster trap with a pole. I didn't know pig skin is used as bait. Although I was nervous, Rick kept me busy with putting bands on the lobster claws. I became an expert at it. At the end of the day, Rick put our catch on the grill. Let me tell you, grilled lobsters are the best! Especially when it's fresh out of the ocean. There was also a small crab in the catch too. I had forgotten about being nervous in the boat. Definitely book a trip with Rick, he makes boating fun! Even for people with anxiety being in the water. I want to go boating again with Rick this summer! I'm not anxious with Rick. He's great! Maybe this time I'll learn to fish!

We went out on a beautiful day looking for stripers and flounders. Our short ride to his spots was pleasant and Tim entertained us with fishing tales (who knew bananas are unlucky and should never be brought aboard a fishing boat!). At one of the first few spots, flounders started to hit. We reeled in one after another. Tim put them in a tank with circulating water to make sure they are alive when we return. We hit a few more spots for stripers but alas it was not our day. From the chatter over the radio, it was clear that no one was catching any. Tim felt bad that we didn't catch any stripers and took us to a few more spots (extended our charter on his dime) to catch a flounders. When we got back to the dock, he cleaned all the fish for us and packed them in ziplock bags. The boat was fantastic: comfortable, well-equipped, and zippy. I felt well-taken care of and well-guided. Tim is a seasoned fisherman who is warm, fun, and helpful. I would highly recommend him. You won't regret it!
