Chris excels in interacting with both children and adults. He maintains a professional and friendly demeanor, ensuring everyone aboard feels at ease. His expertise is evident, and his equipment and boat stand out as the finest we've come across!

July 1, 2025

The experience was absolutely flawless. We were eager to book again, but unfortunately, scheduling conflicts prevented us from another weekday trip. However, we are definitely planning to book another trip to Cape with this Captain in the future!

July 1, 2025

I highly recommend Captain Chris, he possesses excellent knowledge and is fantastic with children.

July 1, 2025

Chris knows his stuff when it comes to fishing. If the fish weren't cooperating in one spot, we just cruised around until we hit the jackpot. Landed a bunch of trout and even tried our luck with sharks. Got a couple of bites, but no luck reeling them in. Definitely gonna hit the waters with Chris again for some more fishing fun.

July 1, 2025

Had a fishing trip with a crew of 4 adults and a 3-year-old. Captain Chris was awesome. Super patient and interactive with my little one, and he went the extra mile to help him reel in a shark! Would totally recommend him to anyone, and we're definitely up for booking again!

July 1, 2025

Had a blast! Super accommodating and really wanted the boys to haul in a bunch of fish. Put in the effort and took good care of us. Definitely recommend!
