  • Food and drinks (no glass containers)
  • A cooler for your cleaned fish (to leave in your vehicle)

Do I need fishing experience?

Not at all! We welcome beginners, families, and seasoned anglers alike. Our crew will walk you through everything, from baiting hooks to landing your fish.

Where do trips depart from?

Most charters depart from Bay Point Marina, Quincy but we also offer downtown Boston pickups for an additional fee. We’ll confirm your departure location when you book.

What’s the best time of year to fish?

  • Striped Bass: May – October (peak May–September)
  • Bluefin Tuna: June – October (peak July–October)
  • Groundfish (Haddock, Pollock, etc.): April – October

How long are trips?

  • Striped Bass: 4–6 hours
  • Groundfish: 6–8 hours
  • Bluefin Tuna: 10–12+ hours (full-day offshore)

How many people can you take?

We can accommodate up to 6 anglers per trip, depending on the vessel. Larger groups can be split between multiple boats or customized upon request.

Can we keep the fish we catch?

Yes, within legal limits. We follow all state and federal fishing regulations. Bluefin tuna retention depends on current NOAA rules and the size of the fish. Some tuna may be catch-and-release only.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety is our top priority. If weather conditions are unsafe, we’ll reschedule your trip or offer a full refund. Light rain won’t cancel the trip — just dress appropriately!

What’s your cancellation policy?

We require one week notice for cancellations or changes. Cancellations due to weather are fully refundable or transferable to a new date.
