We researched several charters in the area and theirs was the most reasonably priced-and I am not convinced anyone could have given us a better experience. Being from the south, we weren't sure what to expect, and we were blown away by the afternoon we spent with Tom and Helaine. The day before our charter, they actually cancelled it because the weather wasn't going to be great. When we woke up the next day, the forecast had changed so we called to ask if they would consider taking us out after all-they were so excited to hear from us and emphatically agreed! As we entered the Nantucket sound, Captain Tom spotted some seals and brought us in for a closer look. As we idled, the seals swam and played feet away from us!!! Amazing! When the bride-to-be got cold, Helaine zipped her up in one of Captain Tom's heavy duty jackets-this is just one example of the continued kindness and hospitality they showed us on the charter. When we reached the traps, Captain Tom and Helaine patiently taught us what to do, and we hooked and pulled the traps from the water all on our own! We left with eight (huge) lobsters and an experience we will never forget. Going out on a charter with Chatham Boat Tours was so much more than a touristy experience. I felt like Tom and Helaine invited us into their lives, and enjoyed sharing the experience with us as much as we enjoyed them. They treat their customers like family, they catered to us specifically, and Helaine even sent us off with two sticks of butter, cups to melt it in, lobster crackers, and some freshly baked potatoes! So sweet, above and beyond! I encourage anyone considering taking a lobster charter in the area to give these amazing people your business. (I can't stress enough how wonderful Tom and Helaine are!!!) Their friendliness and eagerness to make sure we had the best time possible was what made this so special for us. You will not leave disappointed! Thank you Tom and Helaine for everything!!

First of all, we were looking for something that wouldn't take all day like the whale watch cruises…read moredo, and as I got to choose the activity, I chose seal watching. I was on this tour about 20 years ago prior to the reappearance of the sharks and wanted to see if there would be a noticeable difference in the population. We made our reservation online a couple days before our trip (so easy) so it was easy peasy once we showed up. They were very good with communication as our trip was moved up to an earlier time and they let us know promptly. Knowing the area we weren't worried about getting lost and being late for the cruise but if you aren't familiar with the cape don't worry, it's super easy to find. We showed up at the requested time and were quickly boarded. It was a brisk cape day but if you NOT a polar beast (like me) and you go off season you will want to remember that it gets chillier on a boat steering into the wind than it will be on shore....dress appropriately. We started off and the captain gave all safety instructions as well as some points to notice as we pulled out of the harbor. It is a bit of a trek to Monomoy island from the harbor, but along the way the guide and the captain would chime in with what we could see. Then...quite suddenly...there they were. The largest congregation grey seals in North America. Grey seals don't "bark", they "moan" so it's very haunting. When they noticed us, there was a stampede on the beach of the younger individuals to be part of the welcoming party. The guide said that the older bigger seals are bored with us and couldn't be bothered to stop sunning themselves. We had adorable little heads popping up left and right studying us like we studied them. After a while it was time to bid farewell to those adorable squishy bodies and off we went on a bit of a tour of nearby harbors. At several points the captain would stop and we would be educated about the area and things like how erosion affects these areas and how it's all part of the parks landscape to protect not just seals but birds. I can honestly say as a nature geek I was in heaven. The tour is not too expensive and completely worth every single cent. Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable to answer most of my questions. Sadly, it was too early in the season for sharks and orcas...so no predation occured. Sigh. I say this is one of the best excursions offered on the Cape and if you are a nature geek as well then it should rank high on your bucket list!

We, on the other hand, like to eat, what we catch. I have been on the Magellan more than half a dozen times. Mostly with Jason (and could not recommend him enough), who this past week we found out was no longer working with Lenny. Why? Because Lenny is too cheap. We tried to book a trip this past Monday (June 25, 2018) and Lenny insisted that we start an 8 hour trip at 3:00 a.m. Who wants to go fishing that early in the morning? Finally we negotiated a 10:00 a.m. start time. The idea was to catch striped bass (and the occasional blue) to start off, and then come back for porgies and black sea bass. The first fish that we caught was a little over 32 inches; the second 34; the third 35 inches. At that point, Lenny declared that any fish over 34 inches was "commercial" and we could not keep - we kept fishing until each one on the boat reached the one fish (under 34 inches) limit, leaving Lenny with 5 stripers, some over 40 inches, which Lenny pretended that "did not exist". He also suggested that that porgy and black sea bass fishing "has not been good lately" - so we cut our trip to 3.5 hours. Yep - $750.00 for 3.5 of fishing - mostly, catching fish for the captain. I called Lenny to express my disappointment, and he has not bothered to called me back. I get that money is his underlying objective, and I don't mind paying him fair rates, but I felt cheated for bringing the least amount of fish home, from any other time that we have gone fishing, while blistering my hands, catching fish for Lenny.
