My wife and I booked a 6 hour inshore charter for striped bass…read more Captain Kevin and his first mate (Larz) worked hard to make sure we had a successful charter. The boat was clean and well equipped. Captain Kevin and his first mate gave clear and detailed instructions on how to catch the bait, cast in the right spot, and how to hook up when we got a bite. The first mate did a great job of cleaning and filleting our catch. They were especially patient with my wife, who struggled a bit with casting and hooking up with fish. (she ended up catching more than me and the biggest one that had to be released) Captain Kevin's instincts are spot on! He knew exactly when to move us to a new spot, so we never wasted time on the water. Additionally, Captain Kevin's recommendations for dining and local attractions were greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Connemara charter service to anyone looking for a successful fishing charter . Thank you Kevin for the great day out on the water!!

My wife and our 10yr old son were in RI for a hockey tournament and once it was over, we headed…read morestraight for Boston. On our first morning, we headed for Gloucester harbor to take in the rich history the town had to offer. We really wanted to see the iconic Wicked Tuna boats so we ate in harbor and waited but no return. Instead of coming down the next day to get pictures, I decided that we should try and fish this historic area. With only one day to plan a fishing trip and my flight leaving back to Cali at 6:30 was a task within it self. we were at dinner when Captain Kevin had called us back stating that it would not be an issue and he would have us back to the harbor by 2 PM. We left the harbor at 5 AM as captain Kevin in lighted us with a deep history and knowledge that he had to offer. His first mate was Tristan, who had recently passed the captains test, was very knowledgeable and was getting us set up for the perfect day. The captain knew everything in the harbor, and everyone. Whole fishing that day, the Captain constantly stayed on the radio to get up-to-date information. After we caught our bait, we headed to the first spot and dropped our lines in the water. After waiting about an hr or so the captain decided to make an executive decision and move to the second location because of the reports on the radio. Once we arrived at our second location and dropped our lines in the water, we immediately saw whale activity. We were trying to get some food in our belly while we had a little time and then BOOM, FISH ON!!! With the captains instructions from earlier, we were all able to communicate and successfully land this fish. With the help of Tristan by my side, and the captain on the controls, we were able to land this fish in an hour and a half. With 1/3 of the line left from being chaffed, we were able to land this bad boy in the boat. She came in at 87 inches and 461 pounds being my best record of all times. If it wasn't for both of these captains and my tuna fishing experience, we could've easily lost her. Upon returning to the harbor, and dropping her off at the market, I was able to keep some head fillets, and the tail and I was off to the airport. I have fished all around the world and if you want true tuna fishing at its best, GO ON THIS BOAT!!! They have giving us an experience of a lifetime and memories for the rest of our life's. Our family thanks you for the most memorable experience we've ever had fishing. CALL CAPTAIN KEVIN and CALL CAPTAIN TRISTAN!!!

Growing up a few towns away led me to enjoy many visits here over the past 30 years. But last…read moreweekend was my first visit in around 5 years. It was good to see some small upgrades around the land, starting with a revamp of the parking area and more identifiable main signage to lead you into the park. The Trustees of Reservations segment of the land is now also more clearly delineated, though there is no additional admission charge or anything like that. The trails themselves maintain a timeless and spirited quality that encourages exploration and staying in the moment. The views are certainly something to behold, which I appreciate more now as an adult and needing to make the effort if/when I want to return to these surroundings.

I highly recommend this fleet especially for someone looking to expand fishing knowledge and experience.

I've been fishing for over 20 years with different crews in New York, Maine, and Rhode Island, and for the most part, I've always had good experiences. Unfortunately, this trip was one of the worst I've ever had. I understand fishing can be hit or miss, and a slow day on the water happens as that's part of the sport. What bothered me was the behavior of one of the staff members, a woman named Kelly who was working in the cabin. She was extremely rude to some folks on board, even yelling at someone about what to do with their catch and going after them outside. Then, as she walked back inside, she loudly said, "What the F###... Those Arabs," and continued mouthing off here and there. This was in front of families and children. I don't tolerate profiling or that kind of unprofessional behavior. It ruined the trip for me, and I won't be fishing with this company again.

Great Sunday morning on the water with Captain Vito!…read more My girlfriend and I took her father out as a planned birthday present and, having grown up fishing and having been on a number of charters before, I was nervous about going out with someone I didn't know and wasn't necessarily recommended to me. But please listen to your friends on Yelp, book a charter, and have a fun time catching fish. We went out for stripers, so we had a go at catching mackerel in the morning to use as bait. It was slow for mackerel, I think we caught four, but it wasn't for lack of trying on Vito's part. He was on the radio all morning looking for hot spots and looking at the fish finder himself, all while we had three lines in the water. We got a few pollock later on as well. Most of the day was spent trolling the shore for what we came for and we hooked into around eight, landing two keepers. We'll be eating fish for the next month, but the best part was the company; Vito included. Vito has been fishing for 30 years (we asked) and you can tell he still loves what he does. Vito is instructive with the equipment to the point where you feel comfortable using something you hadn't seen before an hour ago (one of us hadn't been fishing before). Vito will work as hard as he has to in order to get you on fish and be happy doing it. We'll be back as soon as possible! Thanks again!
