Great morning on the water 

April 19, 2025

I went on a charter with a friend and 4 teenage boys. Everyone had a great time and the boys are asking to go again. Their knowledge of the surrounding waters is incredible and know exactly what to do in order to put you on the fish. We will definitely be booking again.

April 19, 2025

Captain Mark is the best captain on the south shore. Works hard and will put you on fish for sure

April 19, 2025

Captain Mark is the best of the best! This man invests all of his time and efforts into making sure you have the best day on the water! Legit Fish is the ONLY Big game fishing charter in Boston you will ever need to book.

April 19, 2025

there is not enough star;s on here for my review.i need 10 stars for reviews i have been fishing for 50 years from costa rica to belize jamaica/as well as cabo san lucas/and the Bahamas /key west /Marathon key and all the great fresh water lakes and rivers, so i,m no puppy so on this note i have found Captain mark to be on the top of his game by far one of the best fishing Captains i have had / i don't do many reviews but anglers need to know each time i have been on this boat has been a great experience. i would recommend this guy to everyone but i;m afraid there wont be any more openings for me

April 19, 2025

WOW! What an experience these guys provided! I was taken out on Legit Fish for my bachelor party yesterday, on my bucket list was to go shark fishing. My brother and friends did their researching to make it happen and I can honestly say I'm pretty sure they pick the best charter fishing boat you could go on. Mark and Danny were great, and from the beginning just had this confidence and knowledge that made you feel like you were on the right boat. Mark even generously called us the day before our original trip and warned us of rough seas and gave us the option to go out the next day. He could have easily just taken our money and taken us out in rough seas fishing. They had us on the fish within minutes of putting the boat in neutral for fishing. and on a shark within about an hour of fishing. By the end of the trip it felt like these guys felt like friends to our entire group. I know for a fact that there will be a return trip next year, and maybe annually with Mark and Danny. Thank you for one heck of an experience!
