    Captain Rich stands out as the heart of these charters, with reviewers consistently praising his flexibility and genuine care for guests. Multiple families mention how accommodating he was when weather forced reschedules, particularly for ash scattering ceremonies where he showed remarkable respect and compassion. The private nature of these trips means you get personalized attention, whether you're fishing, whale watching, or doing a combination of both. People loved getting close encounters with humpbacks, fin whales, and even unexpected bonuses like massive seal colonies. The fishing and wildlife experiences deliver reliably strong results. Guests caught stripers and bluefish while also spotting whales, dolphins, and other marine life during their trips. Captain Zeno and mate Todd also get specific mentions for their knowledge and professionalism. One family did have concerns about their kids' cruise feeling rushed and lacking the promised engagement, so it's worth confirming details upfront for specialized trips. Overall though, the clean, comfortable boat and crew's expertise create memorable outings that work beautifully for families, memorial services, and anyone seeking an intimate Cape Cod water experience.

    We had a great experience with Beth Ann Charters out of Provincetown. The captain let us know sightings had been sparse lately, but we ended us seeing 6 whales, several feeding and a full breach! -amazing! The boat was comfortable and the captain made the trip enjoyable, informative and personal. A good choice if you're looking for a private, relaxed whale watching experience.
