Captain Taylor and First Mate Christine ran a smooth, safe, and genuinely fun trip. Their seamanship and hospitality made the whole day unforgettable. They anticipated our family's needs before we could think or ask for something. Have used them and Captain Matt multiple times on various trip lengths and would do it all again. We were very glad to get a late season boat trip in October!

Loved our time out on the water - we had to reschedule a few times due to weather and the flexibility of this team was absolutely priceless. They made it so seamless and will definitely be back this summer for a kids boat day next time!

Captain Matt was great to work with in our trip out on the LIS to scatter ashes of loved ones. He was prompt in arriving as scheduled. The boat was comfortable and clean. He was engaging with us during the trip but never intrusive. Everything was just as advertized. I recommend his services without reservation..

Thank you for such a fantastic day on the water! I’d never been to CT or the northeast before, and your service was a superb experience of a beautiful place! Thanks, Captain Chris!

Highly recommend Compass Charters if you’re looking to charter a boat with an experienced captain for the day (or part of the day). We had an amazing day. I appreciate how Captain Chris handled everything, from where to take us to the little details. We showed up without any sense of where we wanted to go, and we ended up having a deeply memorable experience. Everyone had a really great time. Captain Chris was there for us not just with respect to driving the boat, but everything we needed along the way to make the day great. Check them out!

Captain Matt helped us make a seamless delivery of our vessel on short notice - and did it all with ease and very little prep or guidance. This made our transport from CT to NJ a breeze and his extra effort to take a few pics, and call from the journey while under way all gave us confidence that it was being handled right. Thanks Cap'n Matt - and we appreciated you taking a little extra time to help supervise our vessel's haul out on the other side of the trip as well! 😀
