Make some memories in Newburyport and go fishing with 30 Fathom Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captains Anna and Kristian are prepared to put you on fish!

NEW FOR 2024 - repowered with brand new 300HP Suzuki twin motors for faster and quieter charter.

These waters hold fish like Bluefin Tuna, Atlantic Mackerel, Mako Shark, Bluefish, Striped Bass, Haddock, Cod, and more. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit are yours to take home. Capt. Kristian will determine the best quality fish and clean your catch for you. Talk about a bang for your buck!

Our Captains are happy to have kids aboard, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. It's recommended to bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), snacks, and drinks.

You'll be casting lines from a 29' Stamas center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials, including a toilet on board. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this, so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time!

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate, who's there to help you fish and keep everyone safe on board. It's customary to tip the crew 15-20% at the end of the day to show your appreciation. Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Get in touch with Captains Anna and Kristian below and start planning your trip today!

The deposit you pay goes to Fishing Booker, your balance is due to the Captain in cash or Venmo. THANK YOU!

Captain Christian and 1st mate Anna made our first ever family lobstering trip unforgettable! Anna reached out before the trip to make sure any questions were answered. They both were so friendly, knowledgeable, fun and welcoming. The boat is beautiful, comfortable and luxurious. The docking location was easy to find and even easier to park at (especially during a festival weekend). The trip was a perfect amount of relaxing, hands on fun and lobstering! We learned a lot about the area and caught 5 legal sized lobsters to feast on at home. Fun for the whole family. I HIGHLY recommend 30 Fathom Charters for any charter. We will definitely make this an annual lobster trip and will be joining them for a fishing trip before the summer is over.
