Our party of 5 with minimal experience fishing and none offshore booked a 10 hour offshore trip for an August Saturday. We aimed to catch Bluefin Tuna and Haddock.

We shipped out at 5 am, fished bait for an hour and then set up for Bluefin. One our lines caught a couple of Blue sharks which broke a couple lines and forced us to cut one. Unfortunately hit the slack current by the time we got the lines set up again so we couldn’t land a Bluefin. We then pivoted and fished Haddock for the rest of the afternoon. Thankfully they weren’t shy and we landed quite a few to take home.

Captain Ronnie and First Mate Matt (his son) were friendly, competent, professional, and knowledgeable. They taught us how to handle the rods, fish bait (for tuna), rebait hooks, fish haddock. As beginners, we tangled lines quite a bit and didn’t always pull up haddock, however Ronnie and Matt were patient and able to get us back to fishing quickly. Everyone in our party landed multiple haddock by the time the trip was over.

The boat was well-maintained and clean. There’s room below deck to store what you bring and the cabin comfortably handles 4 and 5 with a little squeeze. There are enough rods for everyone to fish at the same time, although you run the risk of lines tangling by nature of current and proximity.

Overall I would strongly recommend Boston Harbor Charters to anyone looking to experience offshore fishing, new or experienced. It was a shame we couldn’t land a Bluefin but that’s life and it didn’t diminish our experience. Maybe we’ll be luckier next time!

Great day, Captain Mike worked very hard to find fish( even the bait fish were turned off) went to all the good spots.  We found smaller Haddock. Tried to find strippers but they have moved further north. It’s called Fishing not catching. Will do it again.

Captain Ronnie and his son Matt were outstanding! They brought us to several areas where we all caught fish and it was such fun. They were not only knowledgeable but really enjoyable to be with as they were helpful to those of us whom weren’t “seasoned fisherpeople”, and pleasant and professional. I would definately book with them again!

Awesome day, very knowledgeable Captain. He did his best so we could catch striper.  We had some kipper size and some catch and release due to law. Mat his son , is one of the hardest working kid , we all loved him. Definitely will vame back again.  Clean and big boat.

Ronnie & his son Matt led us into our first deep sea fishing. 
it was a great experience.. as we caught our bait first and then were lucky and caught a few large striper bass.
alll in all it was a fun experience.
