    An amazing experience thanks to the crew of cb charters!
    David B.

    We found Connemara Bay charters in from a web search when looking for lobster charters. They are also known as CB charters as well. If you're looking for the readers digest version, the combination half day striped bass and lobstering charter was simply fantastic. Captain Kevin and his son Kellan were an absolute pleasure and we would not consider going out fishing or lobstering in the area with anyone else! Highly recommended! For more details read on: We contacted Captain Kevin by cell phone and he was eager, helpful, and a pleasure to work with in order to coordinate our trip. Since my family was not 100% sure of their sea legs we decided to do the half day striped bass charter combined with a little bit of lobstering as well (what they called the "combination trip"). We scheduled an early-morning trip since that was Captain Kevin's recommendation based on tides and weather. We met Captain Kevin at a local restaurant parking lot where he greeted us with a big smile and strong Boston accent. We followed him to a private dock where we met his first mate (his son) Kellan, who was also an absolute pleasure. My wife, teenage boys, and even our well behaved German Shepherd got on board for our trip. The boat was definitely large enough for everyone to be comfortable while we steamed out to the fishing grounds. Captain Kevin and Kellan were a pleasure to talk to throughout our trip and were experts at trying to tailor the trip to our needs. When we got to the fishing grounds we put a line in the water and begin catching mackerel to use as bait for the larger fish. To be honest, this part of the trip was a lot more fun than I had anticipated. We were bringing up fish as fast as we could throw the line in the water and would be catching as many as six at a time! I noticed that unlike many other trips I had been on, Captain Kevin was not afraid to put a lot of bait in the water and we soon had quite a long chum slick behind the boat and after about 15 minutes or so we had our first striper on the line. We were all thrilled to bring in this big fish and would have been more than pleased with the trip even if we had not caught anything else. We fished for a while longer but the winds picked up a little bit and the seas got a little larger and Captain Kevin considerately asked me if my wife was getting a little green and offered to take a little break and pick up a few lobster pots in some calmer waters which we agreed to do. Once we got behind the breakwater, she felt a little better and enjoyed watching my sons and I pull up lobster traps while getting a lesson in the technique of lobstering. We also learned a lot about the conservation efforts around the lobster fishery as well which was a nice aspect of the trip. In fact, one of my two boys raved throughout the day that the lobstering was definitely his favorite part of the trip! At this point we were reaching the end of our scheduled five hour trip, but Captain Kevin wasn't done with us yet. Instead, he took us to a few of his secret locations where each of my boys ended up catching a huge striper of their own--including the biggest one of the day which was by far the biggest fish I have ever seen in person! After the trip was over and we were back at dock, Kellan cleaned our fish, filled a bucket with lobster and recommended that we consider taking our fish over to "lobsta land" restaurant where we started our day and where they will prepare the fish and the lobsters family style for a small fee. We did this and had an excellent meal! Our thanks again to Captain Kevin and his son Kellan for a wonderful day that I can honestly say would have been thoroughly enjoyable because of our hosts, even if we had not caught a single striper.

On July 8th, I booked a 3/4 day trip for July 20th and also an overnight stay at the Cape Ann Resort hotel. About 11:30 AM on July 19th as I and my son were starting out to the location from New York State, we received a call from Gloucester Fleet confirming the trip. Great! We took pics of the boat that evening. Next morning we head over to the boarding area. My son slept only two hours because he was so excited for the trip. There were no people around which was odd since we were only 20 minutes before the departure time of 7AM. Eventually, we called the Fleet number and spoke to the captain/owner who recalled his wife speaking to me the day before to confirm the trip. But, he had canceled the trip later on because too few customers to justify the fuel expense and called everybody - everybody except us (absolutely no call on my mobile account). So, WE lost money - my two vacation days from work, hotel expense, restaurant dinner, fuel for the trip, all totaled well over $1,000 and also about 8 hours of driving and the huge disappointment. Instead of being very apologetic and perhaps offering a free future trip and covering hotel expense, he said we could drive about 45 minutes (52 minutes per Google) to New Hampshire and if lucky get an 8AM boat that catches mackerel -- or, get this, go whale watching! He said all the other people were understanding -- but they were called the day before. If we'd received the cancelation call there would have been time to rearrange things. Curiously, there was a nearby fishing boat trip from a competitor that was sold out -- no lack of customers. I wonder why...

But for this one, I felt like I needed to speak up. I've been fishing for over 20 years with different crews in New York, Maine, and Rhode Island, and for the most part, I've always had good experiences. Unfortunately, this trip was one of the worst I've ever had. I understand fishing can be hit or miss, and a slow day on the water happens as that's part of the sport. What bothered me was the behavior of one of the staff members, a woman named Kelly who was working in the cabin. She was extremely rude to some folks on board, even yelling at someone about what to do with their catch and going after them outside. Then, as she walked back inside, she loudly said, "What the F###... Those Arabs," and continued mouthing off here and there. This was in front of families and children. I don't tolerate profiling or that kind of unprofessional behavior. It ruined the trip for me, and I won't be fishing with this company again.

    Great Sunday morning on the water with Captain Vito!…read more My girlfriend and I took her father out as a planned birthday present and, having grown up fishing and having been on a number of charters before, I was nervous about going out with someone I didn't know and wasn't necessarily recommended to me. But please listen to your friends on Yelp, book a charter, and have a fun time catching fish. We went out for stripers, so we had a go at catching mackerel in the morning to use as bait. It was slow for mackerel, I think we caught four, but it wasn't for lack of trying on Vito's part. He was on the radio all morning looking for hot spots and looking at the fish finder himself, all while we had three lines in the water. We got a few pollock later on as well. Most of the day was spent trolling the shore for what we came for and we hooked into around eight, landing two keepers. We'll be eating fish for the next month, but the best part was the company; Vito included. Vito has been fishing for 30 years (we asked) and you can tell he still loves what he does. Vito is instructive with the equipment to the point where you feel comfortable using something you hadn't seen before an hour ago (one of us hadn't been fishing before). Vito will work as hard as he has to in order to get you on fish and be happy doing it. We'll be back as soon as possible! Thanks again!

The Tuna broke the line and swam away, we all looked at each other & the Captain exclaimed "That's Tuna Fishing",I thought, that's life! My group of 4 had a great time, the boat is very clean & comfortable, including a clean bathroom & eating area. They even cooked on the grill for us. Captain Steve Zelk & First Mate Erick Zelk were awesome, they were fun and super entertaining! There are other captains as well but we got these guys Luckily!! Highly Recommended!
