On the Water
Fishing Boston
As a Boston-based charter, we have access to a vast and productive fishing playground. Boston Harbor itself is teeming with life, offering fantastic striped bass fishing within sight of the skyline, especially during the spring and fall migrations. We also target bluefish that patrol these waters. Venture a bit further out, and you'll find excellent grounds for black sea bass on the nearshore structure. For those seeking a bigger challenge, we can head offshore to pursue tuna, though this requires specific trip planning from our Boston base. A trip out of Boston can be a fast-paced adventure, chasing blitzing fish or working the many islands and shoals for a variety of species. It’s a convenient and rewarding fishing destination.
