We took a couple's trip to Boston in August to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday. We were tested…read morefor COVID prior to our arrival, because the state required a negative test results at least 72 hours prior to your trip. Weeks before the trip, I searched for fishing charters near our Air BNB. We had visited New England before, so we knew that Rhode Island was the best state for us to fish. After very lengthy search, I finally stumbled upon the Fish'n Tales website. What first drew me to this fishing charter was the price. Other charters were charging ridiculously high prices, but Fish'n Tales was very reasonably priced. Second, I noticed the very favorable reviews and testimonies. After running the company by my other travel companions I quickly secured our booking for 7am Saturday morning. We arrived to the dock at 6:45am, the requested time, and were immediately greeted by the crew. We were required to wear our masks to embark on the boat, but were able to take them off once we selected our spot on the boat. My party consisted of eight people and their was another ten people on the boat, this included the three man crew. The boat was very spacious, so my party was able to have one half of the boat to ourselves. The crew was professional, friendly and very helpful. They were also very accommodating. The birthday boy indulged just a little bit too much the night before and suffered from a bout of motion sickness. The crew was very understanding and provided us with complimentary waters to keep him hydrated. The crew was also very knowledgeable, explaining to basics of fishing and the types of fish that we would catch that morning. By the end of the trip, which was four hours long, we caught about 6 fish, including the beautiful bass pictured in this review. The charter also filleted our fish and bagged them in ice for the ride back to Boston. If you ever visit New England and are in search of a great charter, search no further, Fish'n Tales is it!

I went for this trip on a Wednesday on October. It was almost the last fishing trip for this year…read more They need around 6 people to schedule a trip. Initially when I called that number was not achieved. But on the day before they gave me a call back and said there are enough people now. So I scheduled my trip. Because there was a good amount of traffic in the road, I almost missed the trip. Plan to reach there well ahead of time. The boat does NOT wait for more than 5 - 10 minute past the scheduled time. This is the fist time ever I was going on a fishing trip. So I was a bit nervous. But the trip was a lot of fun. It was just 7 people fishing in the boat. So there was a lot of individual attention given to us. Fishing rods and baits were provided. So I didn't have to bring anything to the trip. The rod was of trolling type. It was easy to operate. Plus they give very good instructions. Cut up octopus was the bait. I didn't want to touch the octopus. So they put the bait for me every time I wanted to. Boat stops at different spots and give you a time window to try fishing. Mostly what we were catching was black sea bass. There were some porgies too. Most of the fish (may be 10 out of 11) we caught was below legal size. So we had to throw them back. Finally we took 1 black sea bass and 1 porgy home. Another awesome thing is they clean and fillet the fish for you. If you like the skin off, they will neatly remove the skin as well. Also they pack the fish in zip lock cover with ice cubes. I fried the fish. It was the freshest tasting fish I ever had in my life. At least to taste fresh fish, I will be going for more fishing trips. Make sure to take atleast a wind breaker jacket. If the weather is colder, a puffer jacket is advisable. Sea water may get sprayed inside the boat. When deciding clothing and what to take to the boat, keep that in mind. Defenitely don't forget sunscreen and sunglass. A sun hat may be good too. I went for the 3 hour fishing trip. Time just flew by. I wish there was a 4 hour trip.
