  I am most strongly recommend using Casco Bay Adventures to anyone who is interested in spending a fantastic day on the water. My wife and I had the pleasure of... read more being guests of Captain John Caterina aboard his boat for the 2025 Veterans appreciation fishing tournament. Captain John did an outstanding job of making us feel like we were a member of his family. He has an extremely friendly demeanor and was always striving to make our trip as pleasant and memorable as possible. I would definitely charter with him if the opportunity ever availed itself in the future.

  I don’t even think my review could do them justice, but let me start by saying they FAR exceeding our expectations. We went on the family adventure charter as an... read more early Father’s Day gift for my husband and my Dad. It was amazing. We sad a bald eagle, seals playing and basking in the sun on the rocks, many light houses, pulled up lobster traps to find 6 in them, caught a mackerel, 3 pollock, a stripped bass, and all in just 3 hours. On top of that Captain John and his lovely wife were so kind they let my son drive the boat for a bit. Wow what a perfect adventure. Oh and they had great knowledge of the islands and area on top of it all. I highly recommend them!!!!!

  Fantastic lobstering adventure! Captain John is knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. We even got to keep 4 LOBSTERS!!! One of the best charters we’ve ever done! 5 star adventure!

Took a nice trip out to the lighthouse and the dropped poles into the water to catch Mackerel! After we had some bait in the boat we headed over to House island to try and catch Striper, we got a couple bumps but nothing on the line, but had a good time trying with a nice cool breeze.

We stowed the fishing gear and suited up to handle the lobster traps, checked a couple and came away with a keeper lobster. Great teaching moment on how Maine manages the lobster population.

We headed back in to the dock to band the lobster claws and then called it a good day with Capt. John

  I'm biased, for sure, but 3 girls aged 6, 7, & 9 and 2 adults had a great time with Capt. John and his daughter/ 1st mate, Carmen, on Casco... read more Bay recently. Capt. John was my high school teacher, and to see him do his thing during our 2+ hour cruise brought back some fantastic memories!

The girls got to fish for mackerel and pollock, haul lobster traps, band the lobsters, see seals, and "drive" the boat.

Anyone who is looking to get their kids out on the water and have an interactive/ informative guide- this tour is for you! Give Capt. John a call and get out there on Catnip!
