    Best trip ever!

    Half Day Fishing Charter - 12:00 PM on October 24, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had an unbelievable time with Captain Luke! Caught tons of cod and pollock the entire time. The boat was spacious and incredibly clean/well maintained. Luke was attentive, extremely knowledgeable, and beyond generous. It was a blast and we are already hoping to do an even longer trip with him next season. Highly highly recommend!

    Awesome day!

    Half Day- Fishing & Lobster Combo - 12:00 PM on August 11, 2026 • 6 adults

    What a great day of fishing and sightseeing for our entire family. Captain Luke listened to what we wanted to do and was able to fit it all in. Seal watching and island exploring for my wife and a couple of hours of fishing for the kids and I. Although we didn't catch any monsters like we were hoping, we did catch a large variety of fish and some we have never seen before. I highly recommend Captain Luke to anyone interested in going out on the water off of Acadia.

    One of the best trips we’ve taken

    Half Day- Fishing & Lobster Combo on July 27, 2026 • 2 adults

    We book a fishing charter on almost every trip we take. In the 25+ years we’ve been taking fishing trips, this is hands down one of the best. Boat was comfortable, had everything we needed, and the captain supplied water and snacks. The best part of this trip was Luke, the Captain. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of his way to make sure we did as much (or as little) as we wanted during our trip. Photos are of our dinner that we made as soon as we got home.

    An Amazing 8-Hour Fishing Adventure — Plenty of Fish

    Full Day – Deep Sea on September 17, 2026 • 4 adults

    What a wonderful fishing trip! We spent eight hours out on the water and had an amazing time from start to finish. We caught plenty of pollock, cod, cusk, mackerel, Acadian redfish, and even one squid! The captain was fantastic—very attentive throughout the entire trip and always checking on us, helping out, and making sure we were on the fish and catching something. We definitely didn’t leave disappointed!

    Definitely a great time!

    3 Hour – Lobsters&Sightseeing - 12:00 PM on August 10, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Captain Luke was so nice and very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. I took my kids on a 3 hr tour and they caught some fish and got to see the captain bring up his lobster cages. He even showed them how to tell the difference between males and females and explained what to look for on females. They had an amazing time.

    Captain Luke’s the best!

    Half Day Fishing Charter on July 3, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Luke is phenomenal. Great experience catching cod, haddock, cudder, Acadia red fish and mackerel. We would highly recommend any family trip with him. We felt safe and comfortable and in good hands. Plus it helps that Koda (dog) is now my best friend.

    Beautiful day. No wind and plentiful sunshine

    Half Day Fishing Charter on September 1, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught our limit of Cod and a few Polok. Luke and I had great conversation. I love to fish, but enjoyed it even more since Luke was available to clear my hooks.

Great Fishing Trip
Half Day Fishing Charter on July 2, 2026 • 4 adults

Captain Luke took us out about 50 min to our first fishing spot where we caught cod , cunner and pollack. We moved spots a few times to get more bites and boy one spot was on point because we caught a 21 and 20 inch cod. The boat had a bathroom and an inside area with a couch and table. The outside had three chairs and two coolers. Overall, we had a wonderul time!

Reported catch:
Cod
Pollock
