The depth finder was working perfectly which was very helpful since the bay varies, a lot, from 1' to 15' (easy to destroy a prop if not paying attention). One thing different from the party boat (which we rented last year) was the option to go into the greater bay (up to two miles out). That allowed for a different perspective. Four hours was plenty of time on the water for us. The guys at the desk were plenty helpful. We were able to park two fairly large vehicles in their small dock area. Otherwise you can pay to park right across the street in the ferry lot. It would be nice if they had newer equipment. But being one of the very few places you can actually rent a boat...

A lot of them were newbies.The target was winter flounder (was Memorial Day weekend), but the listing for the trip said they would target tautog upon achieving a boat limit on the flounder. Capt Mike was very helpful with pointing out the basics to everyone and pointed out safety features on the boat. Mate Jeff was attentive with help with the bait, untangling lines, re-tying lines lost to break offs, and unhooking fish/bleeding them for best table fare. Though I caught my 8 fish limit on flounder, not everyone did. So we didn't go elsewhere looking for tautog. The guy fishing next to me said he's fished that boat a fair bit and never seen them target tog, even if the boat limit on flounder was caught. That's BS to list the tog option if they never pursue it. They didn't have crabs for bait to try for tog even if we wanted to. I'd say this is a good, clean, safe boat, run by a good crew (Capt Mike and Mate Jeff) if you want to chase winter flounder on a headboat setting in Cape Cod Bay. But don't plan on trying for tog like they list as a possible option.

So I went straight to the source and connected with Mike Morrison, who was not only professional and honest, but genuinely invested in making our family kayak dream happen. He even dropped a discount code like a true Cape Cod MVP. The experience? Unreal. We paddled out to a private beach only accessible by boat--and it was to die for. Calm waters, untouched shoreline, and the kind of peace that makes you forget your inbox exists. I still can't believe people get to do this regularly. It was truly memorable, and Rideaway made it seamless. They also offer sunset tours and paddle board rentals, which we're already eyeing for next time. The staff? Mostly young, but super informative, professional, and full of good vibes. Rideaway doesn't just rent gear--they curate moments. Boomsauce Scale B- basura (trash) BS basic (come on!

They were able to slip it into their schedule during a relative lull in a busy week at the end of August. The mechanic found some things that I missed and both he and the repair manager were up front about efforts and options for repair. Some items they repaired/replaced in very short order. Those were items under their control. Other items took longer and those were not necessarily under the shop's control. Yes, the repair took longer than I would have liked but that, my friends, is what happens when you own a boat. Sometimes things take longer than we'd plan. The boat is fixed, they did repairs that I couldn't touch and they always keep the lines of communication open, even when they didn't have good news. They called in the heavy troops when necessary and my boat is back in business. They were more than fair in the final bill and I would recommend Bass River to others who are in the Dennis MA area and need work done.
