About Your Guide

Doug E.

Certified Damn Good Guide

Growing up on Cape Cod, Captain Doug spent most of his time on the water. In high school he worked on several different charter fishing boats learning the trade from some of the best in the business. In 2016 Doug went to captain school and received his 50 ton masters captain license and then started Between Alarms Charters. In 2020 he purchased his current boat, a 2010 26 foot sailfish center console. In 2023 he upgraded the motors to twin 175ho Suzukis. In the spring time he targets winter flounder, black seabass and striped bass. During the summer he continues fishing for striped bass but also targets summer flounder (fluke) and bluefin tuna. Come fall he is generally hunting bluefin tuna. When your trip is booked Captain Doug will reach out to confirm the booking, then he will reach out again a few days prior to the trip to go over the final details such as where to meet, what to bring and what to expect.

Everything Else to Know

It’s a long day on the water. We provide everything you need for gear, bait, tackle and safety equipment. You just need to bring weather appropriate clothing and whatever food and drinks you want for the day. Tuna fishing has the potential to get dangerous so I ask you keep alcohol consumption to a minimum until the fishing is over. Beer only please, no hard alcohol and no glass bottles.

You'll need to buy a fishing license before getting out there. Find out more about licenses here.

We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).

The deposit for this trip is non-refundable except for weather-related cancellations. Day-of cancellations and no-shows will be charged the full balance of the trip to their card.

In the event of inclement weather you'll be covered by out 100% Weather Guarantee and will not lose your deposit.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
