The trail runs right along the water, offering multiple side paths that take you directly to the shore. Some great views, and although the terrain isn't hilly, it's not straight and has just enough incline to make it challenging without it actually being challenging, if that makes sense.

Keep in mind the parking lot is very limited in # of spaces and although the walking paths are wide and generally well kept, it's not a great situation for those with mobility issues.

Went on a squid fishing trip on their boat and it was an awesome experience. And this is coming…read morefrom someone who gets seasick. ***In a rush? Skip to the end for my tips.*** The squid fishing excursion was from 7pm to 1am, which started with a nice sunset view while we moved towards our destination. When we finally anchored, we were instructed to start by lowering our lines. And from that point, it was so much fun being able to haul up 1 or 2 or even 3 squids at a time. There were definitely moments where we had to be patient, but success rate was 80% of the time. It was a great, positive first time experience squid fishing. We did relocate to a second location before the night ended and we caught a lot there, too. Our group of 6 (one of them a 10 year old) caught about 160 squids! The kid caught the most out of all of us, one squid after another, almost nonstop. The crew was awesome. AWESOME! They were so courteous, helpful, patient, kind, and thoughtful. They were constantly going around and giving people tips, helping us unhook squids or untangle our lines, and were constantly cleaning. They were so helpful, so tipping was a must! Once we started squid fishing, everyone on the boat was very helpful and friendly to each other. So, even if it's your first time or going by yourself, there will always be someone nearby who can give you advice or help you out. COVID safety - When we were in the inside area, we had to wear masks, but when we were out on the deck, that was a personal choice. Tips for Squid Fishing (from a total newbie - wish someone gave me this kind of advice beforehand) - Wear layers because it gets colder at night and it can get windier and even colder on the water. Take a look at the night time temperature and wind speed beforehand. - Arrive earlier so that you have time to claim your spot and set up your equipment. It seemed that the spots where they had the bright lights were hotspots for successful squid catching. - I saw that people who had 3 jigs on their lines tend to catch more. Also, I heard that the color of your jigs matter. Supposedly white was an attractive color. And, everyone had a weight on their lines. I suggest researching more about this. If you need equipment, I believe you can rent them for a fee. - Make sure to bring something to transport your catch, like a cooler or an insulated bag. And, make sure to bring ice to keep your catch cool. Don't forget to take into consideration that you have to carry that cooler off the boat after it is filled with your catch. They do have buckets on the boat that they let you use, but you can't take them. - You could bring your own food and alcohol. - Be aware that you will be standing close to each other, so there might be water or ink spraying from squids, hooks getting caught in your clothes, and sometimes your lines do get tangled. - There's a section of the deck where you could rinse your buckets and your catch. They also give you some bags to pack your catch. - Towards the end of the trip, as we made our way back to shore, the crew started cleaning and mopping the deck. So, most people packed ahead of time - cleaning up their lines, packing away their jigs, packing their catch - so when the boat docked, they were able to leave right away. - A lot of people brought towels or paper towels to clean up the squid water or ink that gets sprayed on them or the area around them. - If you get seasick easily, definitely take medicine and don't have a big meal beforehand. The boat does get rocky because of the waves, but it wasn't too bad, thanks to the medicine. - There are bathrooms on each side of the deck, one for men and one for women. They are simple bathrooms with basic functions in a tight space. The floors were wet from the ocean water (I think?!).

We just got back from a little summer vacation in Narragansett, RI, and boy were we glad we made a…read morefishing trip on Seven B'S V part of the trip. It was a fun and affordable trip, and we caught enough sea bass to bring back to the campsite for a meal so large we could barely finish it. I'll break down the key highlights of our morning fishing trip on this ship: -Service: The crew could not have been more courteous and professional. They moved quickly and readily to help unhook fish, untangle lines and provide advice. The also filet the fish you catch at the end of the trip. The ship was also clean and well kept, and it is just obvious they want to put their best foot forward for the passengers. -Value: Compared to the egregious cost of private charters, this trip was a very fair deal, especially for casual fisherpeople who don't have much equipment or boat access.. Rods and bait are provided, and you are allowed to bring two beers per person and snacks in a cooler. -Fish: There were plenty of fish to be caught. At times there was a fish coming up every minute on someone's pole. The ship knew where to go for fish, and when to move on to the next spot when things got quiet. -Fun: We had a blast, and will make this a regular part of visits to this area.

Anyhow, It was peak foliage season so the bright vibrant colors that reflected off the stillness of the water as I drove by is what caught my attention. It was a great spot to pause life, take a deep (covid-free) breath of fresh air and take in the beauty of what is around us and often overlooked. I wish I could comment on the fishing part but I'm not really one for fishing. But hey, check it out if you are interested.

I cannot say *enough* wonderful things about Snappa Charters and Captain Charlie! This was my first…read moretime out on a boat in about 7 years, and it was my first time snorkeling with sharks (and also snorkeling in general) ever. From the second we arrived at the dock, Charlie made my friend and I feel completely at ease. One of my favorite things about him is that you can tell from the minute you start talking to him that he's not out to exploit the sharks in any way. After tagging over 2,600 sharks, Charlie really just wants to share his knowledge with you and provide a deeper understanding of these animals. His heart is completely in the right place, and he is amazingly authentic and kind. And as for the actual shark-diving experience, it was genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life. We had EIGHT sharks around us total, and after a while, they came right up to us! I was nervous at first getting into the water, but after a while, you realize that the sharks are just more curious than anything and far more interested in the fish we were giving them. I could have stayed in the water ALL DAY. I would go back again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Charlie, for your kindness, patience, and natural teaching ability. I had the best day, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering this amazing experience!

We legit were hooking into 2 and 3 fish on a single rig. I caught sport fish until my arms were tired. After an incredibly active morning we switched over to Black Sea bass and were hooking in left and right. His deck hand was supreme and attentive to keep lines in the water. On the boat ride back she cut the fish into filets and bagged em up! He also offers shark fishing, shark dives, champagne sunset tours and a plethora of other oceanic options. I will be a returning customer without doubt! Cheers!

A mixed bag here. The whale watch I went on wasn't very fruitful. There were only a handful of…read morewhales and no dolphins. And the whales that we did we see weren't very close. Apparently, there was a school of tuna close by, and the whales were feeding on them below the water according to the shipmates. Now, that isn't exactly something within their control, and it's not like I was expecting the whales and/or dolphins to pose for pictures. Nonetheless, I was hoping for a little better of an experience. It's about a 4.5-hour experience with about 45 minutes of actual whale watching and the rest of the time spent getting to the spot and back. You can't really here anything the captain is saying unless your directly under the speaker. The trip could be a little better if they played some music on the way and back, but again, you wouldn't be able to really hear it that good. Having said all that, all staff encountered were pleasant and friendly and it was a pleasant ride to and from. Overall I would say it probably wasn't worth the price ($70). If I had seen more whales/dolphins I'd probably feel different. And again, I realize it's not something they can control, but it does have to factor into the rating.
