Kali and her dad Mark were a dynamic duo and so hospitable. Not only was the weather absolutely perfect, I felt completely at peace out on the water. Kali and Mark were so accommodating by helping us take pictures, passing snacks and drinks, and teaching us about the sailing and seas, all while making sure we were having a good time. Learning they had over 70 years experience between the both made me feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the whole experience. They even had a speaker for us to play music, so we danced, sang and we enjoyed every second of our time. The tour lasted an hour and a half and I didn't want to get off the boat!!! They truly did an amazing job sailing us around the sound, and I can't wait for another adventure! Luckily Abbotts was right next door from the port so we continued the day there after our tour. I highly recommend this experience and don't forget to wear your sunscreen!! lol

I've done a few charters before--you know the kind, where you feel like the captain and mate are phoning it in or secretly laughing. This was not the case with The Starship! Bill and Jimmy made you feel like you were good friends going out for a fishing trip. Bill seemed to know exactly where the fish were, while Jimmy made sure you caught them. I can't help but smile when I think about our trip.

We arrived at Raged Rock Marina and the charter was ready waiting for us. The captain, Bill, and…read moreguide, James, we're both very welcoming and helpful the entire time. The bot had a nice indoor area with a few seating options as well as a bathroom. They gave us a quick safety rundown and we were off. While Bill was driving the boat to our first spot James gave us a rundown and said we would start of bottom fishing for sea bass and then make our way to some striper fishing. We made it to our first spot and dropped our lines. Some of us had never been deep sea fishing so James helped us to make sure we were doing it correctly. It started off slow but towards the end of the trip we had to hide in the boat cabin to bait the hooks! All kidding aside, each time we pulled up our line and we're missing bait, James would practically run to add more bait to the line so we got in all the fishing we could. James helped land all of our catches and even filleted everything for us on the way back to shore. Bill was very knowledgeable about exactly where to go and where the fish were hiding. The whole trip was so much fun. Bill and James helped make it a great trip, offering to take pictures for us, letting us ride up at the top of the boat and answering any questions we had. I can't wait to come back and fish with them again!

We sat down and talked about everything my husband and I dreamed about for the reception - and Chris and the SHYC made it all come true. It's a beautiful space. The fireplace was lit, we had a gelato sundae bar set up in the library, and all the rooms were open so our guests had plenty of room. We got to enjoy a sunset over the water through the windows that span the entire length of the club. I am still getting tons of compliments about the food. Chris worked with us to set up stations with made to order steak, pasta, veggies, and bacon scallops that were TO DIE FOR! All of the servers, bartenders, everyone involved was so kind, helpful and in a celebratory mood. It was absolutely perfect and VERY reasonable!! We felt like it was an incredible value for the experience. I can't rave enough. Thank you so much Chris and SHYC!!

I'm sorry it took me so long to review, but my party boat experience couldn't have been better. My…read morehusband and I were here last September and only 4 other people showed up. You know that generally a party boat won't sail with so few, because of the price of gas, but the captain took us out anyway. The mates were first rate, the captain moved the boat whenever needed to keep the catches coming. Everyone got blues. At 3 each, my husband and I had the fewest catches in the boat! Someone pulled up a striper, and at lest one person, maybe 2 caught their limit. Easily the best party boat experience I've ever had

NEVER again, and I would give 0 stars if that was an option. First of all it is marketed as a…read more"party, fishing boat". It was neither a party and no one was catching fish. Start out showing up like any other charter fishing trip. Old man in parking lot yells that there "better not be any alcohol" in the cooler we had. Well, you probably should have told us that when we called & by the way we are 40 years old and had a couple cans of beers in the cooler. Not 21 years old with beer bongs. Anyway, the 3 beers were under all the ice and under our food,pop, waters so we left them and planned on not drinking them. Later at noon we went to get our sandwiches and the staff had sneakily went through the cooler and took them. Really? We didn't care that it was a dry trip, but very pissed someone would go through my belongings without me present. Last, I realize the charter can't necessarily guarantee catching a fish. However, no one was catching and it was advertised as a bass & blue fishing trip and then was changed to a fluke trip when we got on board. Here's a tip: change the name from "party fishing boat" to "sneaky rip off".

There is a long abandoned small red "cottage" just across the West River from the marina that is a favorite subject of artists and photographers. I came today to bask in the warm early Autumn sun & air and to relive some of those great childhood memories. it's even quite beautiful and popular in the winter months as well. Come down here, if you haven't already. You'll be addicted to this spot as I am, and return again and again.

Bring your camera for glimpses of nature's beauty in all weather and all seasons!
