Experience strong Bass fishing action with Karavi Charters and find out what makes the waters around Boston Harbor so special! With Captain Van Christie to take you where the best fish hide, good times on the water are all but guaranteed.
Your guide has well over 3 decades of experience fishing the local waters and he's happy to put them to good use when taking his customers out. Boston Harbor and surrounding waters are the playground of massive Striper, as well as aggressive Bluefish, so if you're looking for intense battles, you've come to the right place.
Choose between half day and full day trips on offer and Capt. Van will take care of everything else. The excursion will start with fishing for live bait, and that's an introduction to what comes next. The good news is that the time you spend live bait fishing won't be deducted from the trip, so you'll still have 4 or 6 hours to go after your prey.
You'll do all this from the captain's 30' Robalo boat with powerful twin 300 HP Yamaha engines. The vessel is fast and seaworthy, with plenty of room for up to 4 people to fish at the same time. All onboard navigational electronics are state of the art. There are 2 live bait wells, a cleaning/filleting table, as well as outriggers. The boat has a heated/air-conditioned cabin with a private toilet, dining table, and plenty of seating room. This beauty is as comfortable as they get. Capt. Van has top-of-the-line Penn and Shimano gear that you can use, so you don't have to lug your own. If you'd like, you can get your catch cleaned and filleted after the trip.
Capt. Van loves having kids on board, so your whole family is welcome to join you on your fishing adventure. Stock up on drinks and food, everything else is included.
Go fishing with Karavi Charters and who knows, you just might hook your next personal record!
We also offer a partial fishing trip combined with sightseeing or just relaxing on the open water or in a bay. Have some lunch, take a dip. Have fun!

Peter BreretonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedPerfect Charter
Half Day Trip – Inshore on June 27, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a great morning with Capt Van. The boat is clean and very comfortable with great equipment. Van was the perfect instructor for our 8 year old grandson. We hit the jackpot with mackerel. We filled the live well in less than 5 minutes. The striped bass weren't vey hungry, but we did manage to land a nice 32" catch and release fish. Good times, would definitely go again!

Half Day Trip – Inshore on September 2, 2023 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Van was great. It was a slow day but he worked hard, moved around, and didn't end our trip until we caught fish. He was great. I highly recommend and will book again in the future. Thank you Captain!

William Donaldson5.0VerifiedGreat trip
Half Day Trip – Inshore on September 7, 2024 • 4 adultsThe fishing was slow in the morning but picked up in the afternoon. We had a great time and it felt more like fishing with a friend than a charter. I would absolutely go back.
Robert Harrington5.0VerifiedHalf Day with Captain Van
Half Day Trip – Inshore on August 14, 2021 • 4 adultsMy girlfriend and I wanted to make the most of summer and decided to charter a half day trip with Captain Van. Sunrise in the Boston Harbor was a highlight in and of itself, and we caught some 15-pound stripers that Captain Van was kind enough to filet for us and which we used for a fantastic dinner. The boat is very spacious would easily accommodate a larger group, and Captain Van is a lot of fun on the boat. We highly recommend and will making another trip in the spring.
Daniel Garrison5.0VerifiedHalf Day Striper Fishing with Captain Van Christie
Half Day Trip – Inshore on July 23, 2022 • 4 adultsOur family had a fabulous day on the water with Captain Van, first catching bait fish then ultimately getting into keeper stripers. Captain Van got us on fish when other boats weren't catching. Top notch in every way!

Peter, It was great having you and your "boys" on Karavi. It was a fun day and I'm sure the young man had fun and learned a lot.

Bill. It was great having you and the family aboard Karavi. I enjoyed your company and stories. I'm glad you also enjoyed it. I know it was tough early as the seas were pretty angry, but fishing did pick up and got exciting...come again...
