COVID-19 Update: To ensure the safety of everyone on board, Storm Buster Charters has instituted a set of measures including regular boat disinfection.

Storm Buster Charters offers one of the most varied charter services you could imagine, for a huge range of species. Launching out of Boston, you can target delicious food fare like Flounder and Haddock, as well as hard-fighting gamefish like Stripers and Bluefish. You’re in for some real action here!

Captain Vinny Simeone welcomes you aboard his 25’ Dusky center console which is perfect for groups of up to 4 guests. He will take you to all his favorite fishing spots around Boston Harbor and beyond, getting you on trophy Stripers, Flounder, and a range of other great fish.

Capt. Vinny’s boat is the perfect vessel for these waters. She balances offshore stability and inshore maneuverability with ease. The vessel is equipped with a livewell that you will load up with bait, and a full range of marine electronics to make sure you’re always fishing in the right place.

How you fish depends on your target species, but you’ll always have a few techniques to choose from. If you’re going after Striper, you can troll live baits, throw topwater lures, or even fly fish. Fancy getting your hands on other fish like Tuna, Bluefish, and Flounder? Use live or cut baits, or drop jigs and other effective lures. The choice is yours!

Whatever you do, you can rely on a skilled, local captain and a well-maintained boat. In short, you can rely on having a great time and catching some delicious fish!

Terrific day on the water

Boston Harbor 4hrs up to 4 ppl on September 1, 2025 • 4 adults

A friend and I took our 14-year-old sons for a half day with Captain Vinny, and this was a great trip. We came back with fish both to cook tonight and to freeze for another day, which was lucky, but what made our time particularly enjoyable was Captain Vinny's knowledge, guidance, flexibility, and generosity with his time. He was perfect with the boys, providing them advice when they needed it and letting them experiment with technique when it was appropriate; he shared lots of information about the islands we passed and the harbor (but not so much that it ever felt like a lecture); he moved the boat several times to find where the stripers were biting; and what was supposed to be a 4-hour stint turned out -- with our permission -- into something more like 5+ hours. This group has gone charter fishing before, and we will again, and we'll certainly call Captain Vinny.

Class Act Captain

Boston Harbor 4hrs up to 4 ppl on September 27, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

We had a fantastic day. This guy treated my Grandson like he was his Grandson. We were on a mission to get the little guy his first striper. We caught live bait (which my Grandson loved) and the hunt was on. The Capt. was focused, determined, and polite. We will recommend Capt. Vinny to anyone we know that wants to have fun. Made some great memories today. Thank you Captain Vinny. Mission Accomplished!!!!!!

Great First-Time Fishing Experience!

Boston Harbor 4hrs up to 4 ppl on May 25, 2025 • 6 adults

We had a wonderful time on this fishing tour! The weather was perfect, and the boat was clean and comfortable. Our captain was very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It was our first fishing trip, and we were thrilled to catch lots of fish — we felt so accomplished! We really enjoyed the whole experience and are already looking forward to the next time.

Amazing fishing with Captain Vinny

4hr Trip Boston Harbor, up to 5ppl on August 27, 2024 • 5 adults

We fished with Captain Vinny in Boston Harbor today. Vinny found big pile of bass. We caught 9 striped bass up to 41". The sonar showed a very large school of bass but they were not actively feeding on surface. Vinny did many drifts over the school and we finally doubled up with two big bass on live mackerel Vinny brought on board. Highly recommending Vinny's charter!

Wonderful morning's fishing

4hr Trip Boston Harbor, up to 5ppl on October 7, 2023 • 3 adults • 2 children

Our party of children and adults couldn't have asked for more from Captain Vinny. We started with casting lessons followed by practising close to shore. Vinny was friendly, patient and excellent with the children - and we caught loads of magnificent blue fish. Then, when it came to paying, I carelessly overpaid in cash and Vinny messaged me so he could put it right. What an honest guy and an excellent captain and great value.
