We had a great day today . There were 6 of us and we all caught big fish and had plenty of room on the boat . The guys got us into fresh mackerel n then we used those mackerel for bait . Our 6 hour trip landed us about 15 striped bass and 2 huge bluefish . The guys helped us out and were very friendly . We were on fish right away n had very little downtime . I’m going to use Boston fishing charters again .

We had a great trip in some challenging conditions. We all got trophy fish that they worked really hard for us to catch and land. Knowledgeable and friendly. Would fish with them again!

Called in to reserve a full day of tuna fishing. Had a group of 5 veterans 1 active duty. I asked if there was a military discount. Spoke directly with the captain he was extremly rude and stated as i quote " why would there be a veterans discount, they shouldnt get discounts they dont deserve it." Not upset that theres no military discount. I was upset at the way he handled the call very rude and unprofessional. A man this unpatriotic taking 2k cash a day definately isnt paying his taxes imo. No respect, no professionalism, no integrity.
