I’ve always been interested in fishing and lobst I’ve always been interested in fishing and lobster trapping, and figured I’d do this tour after it came highly reviewed. It’s located at the end of tuna wharf right beside the 7 seas restaurant and beside motif #1. Jim and John are retired school teachers who lobster trap on the weekends and take a visitors along for the ride with them. They have an old fishing boat that has a ton of charm docked right in Rockport Harbor.

I took a 3 PM tour and had a blast! Complementary beer and water make for a very fun time as well. There’s a couple seats at the back of the boat and they take you out and show you how to bait, cast, and reel the lobster traps in. We caught a few keepers as well! Both Jim and John are genuinely good people and show you a great time. They teach you about the local fishing industry, history of Rockport and Massachusetts, as well as taking you on a little ride past the harbou seals and the big lighthouse before heading back to shore. It was approx 1.5 h total, which was the perfect amount of time. We had a beautiful day on the water with ideal weather.

Thanks again for the amazing trip, I will return! - Mitchell G.

Excellent and informative excursion. Trip was 90 m Excellent and informative excursion. Trip was 90 minutes and limited to 6 guest. Perfect. First mate John, a retired school teacher, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about lobsters and lobster recipes. We pulled up three traps and caught two big legal lobsters. Capt' Jim was a great skipper and took us out near Thatcher Island to see a colony of seals up close. Bonus is that he also has a brewery and shared his Ipswich Pale Ale with us. Highly recommend this tour. - James Cross

Loved the two captains that took us out; really gr Loved the two captains that took us out; really great guys. We stopped at 3 lobster traps and were able to see male lobsters, female lobsters and a pregnant lobster. They showed us how they measure the lobsters to determine if they could keep it. We boated near a collection of rocks that had grey seals all over them. Learning about the Cape and Rockport was super interesting. We loved the trip, especially our kids….short and sweet and perfect for their attention span. - Jennifer Tuason
