Oh my - what can I say? This was the first fishing charter we ever did, and it was definitely the highlight of our trip to Cape Cod. We caught so many fish - more than we could possibly use, so we even threw some back! My kids were thrilled - the looks on their faces as they reeled in the big Striped Bass was worth every penny we paid and more. Cpt Bob and Nick are the best. They went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful time, and believe me, not everyone out there was catching Strip...

Cape Cod Family Fishing Charters was a blast! My friends and I decided to give it a go since none of us had tried it before, and it was definitely one of the best memories I have of our trip to the Cape. The boat is clean and safe, the Captains are a blast and you're bound to leave having caught a fish or two. I was a little unsure about the whole idea at first, but I'm now looking forward to going back to see these guys next Summer.
