Excellent charter. Capt Bob goes above and beyond to try to put you on fish. We didn't get the tuna due to an unfortunate storm that rolled in, but we still hooked into some stripers on way to the home marina. I highly recommend Capt Bob for a friendly, professional and knowledgeable charter!

From start to finish the trip with Bob was a great time. It was our first time Tuna fishing, so we had a lot to learn. But, Bob was a perfect teacher. We started the morning just off the Isle of Shoals to start our bait fishing. Lines dropped in and within minutes we had our mackerel. From there we went off about 20 miles offshore to start setting up for the main event. First a bit of ground fishing to catch some bigger bait, while Bob and my friend got the lines ready. Goal achieved we got the lines in the water and then it was a waiting game.
Mind you it was a perfect day, calm waters, light wind and then there were the whales. Humpbacks everywhere...which Bob said was a good sign. Tuna were jumping, and so was our anticipation. We had a bite early, but we lost him. After a couple hours we got some action...but it was a pesky shark, so we caught some more bait, and then back at it. Bam....two bites at once.....and bam, two more sharks....we all started to dislike these guys...taking up our time while there was a happy tuna out there waiting to come home with us....
It's 1pm now, and spirits were starting to drop...even at this point however, the day had been worth it. It was a perfect day, and we got some fishing action. Bob was still optimistic...he read the signs and still had a good feeling about this....we moved to avoid those pesky sharks and dropped the lines again. As i was reeling out the last deep line....the sound of a whirrring line screamed off the back deck. Everyone on the boat went to work as Bob had so perfectly orchestrated.....and the hunt was on.
After a 40 minute fight....our patience was rewarded and we caught a beautiful (keepable) Bluefin.
Perfect day Bob, perfect day. Thanks and we look forward to next year.

Had a wonderful day with Captain Bob - we booked a 1/2 day striper trip with my sons and grandkids. They caught their first stripers and are still talking about how nice Captain Bob was. He truly went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great experience. We will be back for more. Thanks for a great day!

What a great trip! Captain Bob took the time to explain everything and made sure we had a great time. The boat is very clean and a big boat…saw lots of whales while out searching for tuna. Reeled in a 63 inch bluefin tuna keeper! Can’t wait for our next trip with Captain Bob!!

We had a spectacular day with Captain Bob! We started the day before sunrise on his comfortable and immaculate boat. We headed out for bait fish and were blessed with a beautiful sunrise on the way. Captain Bob took us straight to the bait. No one knows these waters better. Along the way to the tuna spots, we witnessed numerous porpoise and whales, which was a treat. Bob is extremely knowledgeable and a great educator. We are not novices to fishing, however we learned a great deal as Bob imparts his wisdom in a hands on way. He is a consummate professional and we feel fortunate to have spent the day with him. We will absolutely be back!

Captain Bob knows where to find them and will spend the time and effort to move around until you are catching! Highly recommend booking with what I consider the best Captain in New Hampshire.
Last year, we took our first Bluefin Tuna trip. What a day on the ocean! Darryl (husband) hooked up early but lost it then we moved and ended up with a beautiful 250 lbs. fish. This year, we had a double hook up on a tuna trip. We lost one but after a good fight our freezer is full of Bluefin Tuna, again. I should mention that Darryl and a buddy went out with Capt. Bob and they took home a monster 300 lbs., 78” Tuna.
Capt. Bob always makes the trip exciting…whales, porpoises, ocean sunfish, birds…. Bob’s trips are like going out with National Geographic and catching FISH. The boat is comfortable with top of the line gear. You should know that a trip will be changed if the conditions are not right and the Captain doesn’t think you will have a good day because of weather or the winds are not right for catching fish (the wind!).
We have been fishing with Captain Bob for over 10 years. We usually book a trip early in the season for Stripers. Happy to say my husband and I have both caught keepers on almost every trip. My largest was 43” (just saying) and Darryl’s was 42”. Bob is an awesome teacher with the patience of a saint. He has taught me and my nephews to fish. Everyone in my family is hooked because of Captain Bob and his first mate Mark. Cannot thank him enough for all the great memories.
PS: This review is long overdue – Thank you!

Totally incredible! Captain Bob was pleasant, very knowledgable, and a pro at catching striper. All 3 of us got our limit. The biggest was 38 inches! We had to put back maybe 3 other keepers, plus lots of other smaller stripers. Literally, the striper were striking our bait immediately when it would hit the water. Bob knew where to fish and how to fish. Amazing! Took the fish home and had fresh grilled striper that night! Thanks, Bob.

We have fished with Capt Bob a number of times in the last few years, in fact more than that as we first fished with him on a smaller boat than his current. The guy is a pro, obviously passionate about finding fish and helping you catch them. We like the light tackle he uses, and that some of the fish we release get tagged for a conservation society. Lots of great photos from these trips!
Side note Capt. Bob's is the only local boat we know fishing for stripers that has a [clean], provate toilet. Much appreciated as the morning coffee wears off!

My son and I had a wonderful tuna fishing excursion with Capt. Bob on Sept 1, departing from Rye Harbor, NH. Capt. Bob has an amazing boat for getting offshore to 'tuna territory'. He is an extremely experienced and safe maritime captain. He knows where the fish are and how to catch them. Capt. Bob is nice guy, a great fishing guide and boat operator -- you will have a great day on the water with him!
