I have never fished before in my life. Not that it makes me any less of a man, (I mean, I've…read morechopped down trees with my bare hands, I eat steak on the regular, I've punched things and I drink Jack Daniels), however, I felt like my life was missing something. I'm a hunter-gatherer, and I haven't hunted or gathered anything outside of a grocery store. Enter Schooney Charter Fishing. This guy was amazing on a number of levels. I went with two of my siblings and my brother brought along his two sons, ages 9 and 5. First off, they make this as effortless as possible, bating your hooks and casting for you. If you get curious, ask and they showed you how. The captain and his sidekick were extremely patient with my nephews, answering their never-ending supply of questions. They moved from spot to spot, always keeping in contact with other boats to find out where you would have the most success. We fished mainly for Sea Bass, and the occasional Blue Fish. However, they also offer small tuna fishing, shark fishing and cod fishing earlier in the season. Also, on your way back into the harbor, he'll stop by his lobster traps, and whatever is in there, you can have as well. Nice little added bonus. The pricing isn't all that bad, ranging in between $400 and $600 depending on how long you stay out, or if you go tuna fishing, as that's a longer trip out to sea. But if you have a decent day, you can basically make it back in fish. After your day is done, they will clean and fillet your fish for you. Grab a cooler, because you are not going to want to let any of your catch spoil. I've been scarfing down Sea Bass for the past three days like it was my job. Which is good, because since I've discovered "Yelp" I've been paying a lot less attention to my real job. Added Bonus: We had a whale pop up about 10 feet away from the boat....free whale watching....suck it tourists paying $29 for the Provincetown whale watch....

Had no idea what we were getting into, and…read moremostly made the reservation to mix it up and get in some exercise, but it ended being a highlight of our vacation. The canal bike path is beautiful - peaceful, pristine, and not crowded. It was challenging for us to go the full 13 miles up and back (we aren't experienced cyclists so it took about 2 hours), but we only had to stop a couple times. The staff at Rideaway were very helpful at getting us onto the right size bikes and explaining the route - highly recommend!

Magical evening with Captain Bob and crew aboard the BLII. Probably our 10th trip over the years…read more First trip without a full sunset and it was still a remarkable experience. The ocean was the roughest we had during all of our visits. Exhilarating! It's bring your own everything! People literally packed entire picnics. The trip takes a tad under 2 hours. Obviously, be smart and look at the weather before booking. Also, bring a jacket (even in July) and wear comfortable shoes (definitely no heels). We saw a whale and seals on our trip last night! Take the family and enjoy the stunning scenery. Do some homework on the area so you can identify the key landmarks as you venture out of ptown harbor. It's a sailboat trip...outside of the rules/regulations you're not getting any info on what you're seeing. Huge opportunity for the business. Some things to consider as you venture out.... The Pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact in Ptown harbor (you could be passing the very spot as they landed here FIRST). Longpoint (tip of cape with lighthouse) was a village in the early-mid 19th century, with homes, a school, church and many businesses. Cue up the Jaws movie soundtrack...the great whites are booming! Yes, because of the exploding seal population, great white sharks have returned to the water around ptown. Many are tagged and have even ventured into the harbor! Overall it's always a magical experience. Thank you Captain Bob and crew!

What fun!!! Ro gave my fiancé, Myself and our little dog the best sunset sail! We lucked out and it…read morewas just us. Ro takes up to six, but due to the clouds, no one else joined in on the sail and it was really cool to have a private tour out at sea. Ro and her mate Owen were so kind and gave us background on the area and then we had great conversation! Ro knew just where to take us to see a ton of seals too which was very cool, my fiancé had never seen them in the wild before and I personally have never seen that many up that close. It was absolutely awesome-the pictures didn't do it justice! Ro's dog, Spinnaker, joins as well and is so well behaved. My dog got along great with him too! I love that Ro includes your furry family member on her sail if you so choose. She has doggy life jackets of all sizes to keep them safe as well. If we're back in Provincetown I would 100% go again! Highly recommend!!

We booked a Sunset Sail, which is a 1.5 hour trip around the bay, and we were glad to be joined by 2 other couples and 1 other pup! (If you're counting, that makes 8 humans and 3 dogs aboard!) You can also book a private trip, which is slightly more expensive of course. Captain Ro and Kaled were a great team and made us feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed. It was a beautiful day to sail (week before Labor Day weekend) and Captain Ro allowed us to climb onto the deck once we killed the engine and were out in the bay. These trips do not guarantee animal sightings but we did see a whole group of seals bobbing their heads out of the water watching us as we sailed on by, which was extremely endearing to see. FYI the crew provides life vests for the pups and you can bring whatever you want to eat/drink aboard to enjoy.
