Keepin’ It Reel Charters is a well recognized charter in Southern MA and Cape Cod. We trailer to specific boat ramps to target specific fish from Cape Cod to Boston and we offer a lifetime experience in these waters. I'll let the Reviews do the talking!

Captain Timmy will assure you not only to catch fish but also lots of laughs and good times that will never be forgot! This involves 4 to 10 hour trips, fishing for but not limited to Striped Bass, Black Seabass, Bluefish, Tautog, Scup, Flounder, Haddock and Bluefin Tuna depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, drift fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a beautiful and extremely clean
27' MayCraft boat that can safely take 4-6 anglers. This boat comes with an ice-box so you can store your food, beverages, and of course your fresh catch that we will clean for you!

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing! Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Keepin’ It Reel Fishing Charters for experiences you will talk about the rest of your life!

Note: if booking alone, we will need one more person to select same date, Contact me directly and I will make it happen!

Amazing trip

4Hr P.M. Trip – Striper&Bluefish on July 22, 2025 • 2 adults

We started the trip with low expectations because the trip earlier got skunked. Fish just weren’t biting. Within 20 minutes of getting to the fishing area we were hooked up. It didn’t stop for the entire trip. We all got keepers and the boat even got one. Capt. Tim and his mate/dad were fantastic. They kept things light and fun but worked their butts off to make sure we were always fishing. We will definitely be back before the end of the season.

My teenage son and I took a charter and caught sooo many scup, black sea bass, among other random fish. The crew was so friendly, informative, and helpful. We’ve done a bunch of charters, and we both said we learned the most with this crew. Totally enjoyable experience! Remember to bring a big cooler!

Hats off to Captain Tim and his first mate! They knew exactly where the fish were and all 4 of us on the boat caught our limit of Black Sea Bass. I have 2 sons 12 and 8 and they had a blast. I would highly recommend Keepin' it Reel for your next charter. Thanks guys!
