All charters will be done out of the Mill Wharf Marina, Scituate, Mass.
There is a 6 person maximum passengers per boat.
What we fish for:
Tuna, striped bass/blues, cod/haddock and sharks

Where and what time of year do we fish.

We do most of our fishing on Stellwagen Bank, and east of it, depending on the season, species and time of year.
We start in April on Stellwagen Bank and fish for cod/haddock and fish right through November.
When the tuna show up , usually the first week in June, we start tuna charters .
We catch tuna right into mid November.
Shark fishing is best from late July through October.
We also do striped bass/bluefish charters at Provincetown during the summer; and sometimes combine those trips with tuna charters.

The 3 boats listed below are in the same Marina (The Mill Wharf Marina, Scituate Mass.)
Scituate is on the coast between Boston and Plymouth Mass. and has a very successful charter fleet.
