About Your Trip

Join Captain Joe for a true New England fishing adventure where it’s all about getting hands-on. This seasonal trip (available May 1–Nov 1) offers you and your crew the chance to hook into hard-fighting Stripers and Bluefish in the scenic waters of Boston Harbor and its surrounding islands. With 40+ years of local experience under his belt, Captain Joe knows every ledge, tide line, and trick to get you on the bite.

You’ll be fishing aboard a fully updated 31’ J.C. sportfishing boat, comfortably equipped for up to 6 guests. The boat features modern electronics including GPS, radar, and fishfinder, along with an enclosed head (toilet), life raft, and plenty of cushioned seating both in and out of the sun. Whether you’re chasing fish or cruising from spot to spot, you’ll do it in comfort and style.

Trips typically run multiple rods (3–4 at a time), and depending on conditions—like tides, wind, and sea state—you’ll be bottom fishing, trolling, drifting, or casting light tackle. Live bait is included in the trip cost, and on some days, you might even catch the bait yourself as part of the experience!

Captain Joe is a straight-shooter who’ll give you an honest read on the day’s conditions and tailor the trip to your group’s experience level. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned angler, he’s happy to share tips and techniques that come from a lifetime on these waters.

You’re welcome to catch and release, or keep any legal fish you land. At the end of the trip, Captain Joe or his mate will clean and fillet your catch so you can enjoy the freshest seafood possible—straight from the harbor to your table.

All gear, bait, and fishing licenses are provided by the boat, so you don’t need to worry about a thing. Just bring your food, drinks, and a good attitude—Captain Joe will handle the rest. Get ready for an unforgettable day fishing Boston Harbor with one of the area’s most knowledgeable and personable captains!
