Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Vinny consistently puts clients on impressive striped bass throughout Boston Harbor, with customers regularly landing fish over 40 inches including personal bests of 42 and 45 pounds. He demonstrates exceptional fish-finding skills using sonar to locate schools and making multiple drifts with live mackerel until clients connect. Vinny teaches valuable techniques like catching baitfish with three-prong hooks and adapts to various methods from fly fishing to bottom fishing for haddock, often limiting out boats with 60 keeper fish. Customers consistently praise Vinny's patience and teaching ability with everyone from 6-year-old twins to 60-year-old mothers, making first-time ocean fishing experiences memorable for visitors. His honest character shines through - one client mentions he promptly returned accidental overpayment. Families appreciate how he lets kids steer the boat, provides his favorite grilling recipes, and cleans fish for dinner. Many guests highlight his engaging personality and determination to produce results even when conditions are challenging.

We had a fantastic day on the water. Captain Vinny treated my grandson like his own and made sure this trip was all about helping him land his first Striped Bass. Catching live bait was a blast for him, and from there the hunt was on. The Captain stayed focused, patient, and encouraging the whole time. We made some great memories and couldn’t be happier with the experience. We’ll gladly recommend Captain Vinny to anyone looking for a fun day of fishing. Mission accomplished!

We took our 14-year-old sons out for a half-day trip with Captain Vinny, and it couldn’t have gone better. We came back with fresh Striped Bass for dinner and extra to freeze, but the real highlight was the experience he created. Vinny was great with the boys — offering guidance when they needed it and giving them room to learn on their own. He shared interesting info about the local islands and harbor, kept us moving to stay on the bite, and even extended the trip well beyond the planned 4 hours with our approval. We’ve done charter trips before, and we’ll definitely be booking with Captain Vinny again. Highly recommend.

We had an awesome time on our fishing trip. The weather was perfect, the boat was clean and comfortable, and our captain made the whole experience fun and easy. This was our first time fishing, and catching so many fish felt great. We enjoyed every minute and can’t wait to go again!

We fished with Captain Vinny in Boston Harbor today, and he put us right on a big pile of striped bass. We landed 9 fish, with the largest measuring 41". Although the sonar showed a huge school that wasn’t actively feeding on the surface, Vinny made multiple drifts over them until we doubled up on two big bass using live mackerel he had ready on board. Highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Vinny!

Unbelievable fishing trip with Captain Vinny! He put us right on the fish and was incredibly patient with both my 60-year-old mother and 30-year-old son. I can't thank him enough for creating a memory we'll never forget!

Our group, consisting of both children and adults, had an outstanding experience with Captain Vinny. We began with casting lessons, then practiced close to the shore. Vinny proved to be friendly, patient, and excellent with the children, leading to a successful catch of numerous magnificent blue fish. When settling the payment, I accidentally overpaid in cash, but Vinny promptly messaged me to rectify the mistake. His honesty, along with his skills as a captain, made for a fantastic and reasonably priced outing.

Captain Vinny is an awesome guide! My husband, our 6 year old twins and I had a great day fishing with Captain Vinny. He knew exactly where to fish for bait and where to fish for the catch of the day. We caught several striped bass, two of which Captain Vinny cleaned for us to take home for dinner! He gave us his favorite recipe on the grill, took fantastic pictures, and let the kids have a turn at steering his boat. Captain Vinny is passionate about his craft and has a truly kine demeanor. It was truly a great experience on the Atlantic! We will book Captain Vinny again when we return East.

You can't judge a captain based on how the fish are biting, but the captain put us right on the fish, was fun to crew with, and we ended up having a great time and catching a lot of large stripers and blue fish. I cannot recommend Captain Vinnie highly enough.

We had a great time with Vinny! There were five of us and three of the group were in from Wisconsin to visit Boston for the first time. They had never been ocean fishing in the Northeast and had no idea what to expect. Vinny took us around Boston Harbor and then out to the Harbor Islands. We caught tons of big striped bass. The Wisconsin guys were amazed we could catch fish that size so close to shore (mostly above 33 inches and a couple well over 40 inches). They were sending texts with photos of their fish to all of their family and friends and couldn't stop talking about how much they enjoyed the trip when we went out to dinner in the North End later that night. Vinny was a great guide -- not only because he got the group on lots of fish, but also because he taught them how to catch bait fish to attract the stripers using a three-prong hook without a lure. They were surprised by the whole process and how it worked. All in all, couldn't have been a better day. Thanks Vinny!
