Ortus Charters is located on the Outer Cape and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters. They will meet you in various harbors based on where the fishing is best, so that we can get you on the fish as quickly as possible. Capt. Scott has been fishing the waters of the Cape for over 20 years and loves to share his love of the fertile waters and all the sea creatures you'll get to experience. Come experience for yourself why Saltwater Magazine has Cape Cod as one of the best places to fish during the summer.

He will make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves either a 5 to 8-hour trip, mainly fishing for Tuna, Bluefish, Striped Bass, Cod, Black Sea Bass, Flounder, and Haddock, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use various techniques such as casting with light tackle, heavy tackle for giant bluefin tuna, trolling, jigging, kite fishing, and using spinning gear.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 2026 Cape Horn 32T boat. The boat is powered with twin Suzuki 350 HP engines to get us to the fishing grounds quickly and safely. It has a ton of fishing space so anglers can spread out.
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. The boat is USCG-inspected for safety, and the boat is built to be unsinkable.

The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip. The boat will be supplied with water for your pleasure. Be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own gear.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Ortus Charters this season.

Another great day on the water with Ortus!
5 Hr Trip – Blues and Bass - AM on July 23, 20262 adults

It was great to fish with Scott and Ortus charters again. The day began with wind and waves but Scott covered some ground and employed multiple tactics to get us on fish. Later it cslmed down and we found a honey hole and a coiple presentations that the fish couldn’t resist! Scott always works hard to put fish in tge boat for his clients. Wr left with great memories, striped bass fillets and the bonus squid were a nice addition! We will fish with Ortus again!

Great Striper Trip
5 Hr Trip – Blues and Bass - AM on June 25, 20264 adults

Wonderful new boat and very well run operation. Really appreciated that they had caught live bait before they picked us up, so we were ready with it when it was needed and didn't have to spend part of our time catching bait. Our family is a mix of more and less experienced anglers and they coached on fishing technique rather than taking the pole, hooking the fish and handing it back to one of us to reel it in. Been on several striper charters on the Cape. This one we're coming back to. Nicely done guys!

Striped Bass

Great first time!
4 HR Black Sea Bass(May 17-June 1) on May 29, 20262 adults

Today my friend and I got to try something new! We had a great day catching black sea bass. The weather turned out perfect. Scott and Jake were very professional, super knowledgeable and very fun to fish with. Scott was easy to communicate with, and made my life easy when finding a boat launch. They made sure we were always on top of fish and made sure our lines were always tight. Overall a wonderfull expierience, and we do plan on going back. Any anglers hesitant on who to fish with should choose Ortus Charters!

Half day with Ortus Charters - highly recommend!
5 Hr Trip – Blue and Bass-PM on May 30, 2026

Scott was outstanding from start to finish. He was personable, prompt and fantastic with my two boys making the trip enjoyable for everyone. Communication was excellent and he was flexible with changing weather conditions to ensure we had the best experience possible. His boat was clean and well maintained and his assistant Jay did a great job as well. We’re very glad we chose Scott’s charter and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great day on the water!

Response from Captain

It was so great to have you and the boys out! You all kept us busy with all the fish you hauled in! We appreciate the flexibility so that we could get your trip in before the storm! Thank you!
