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. 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. We provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is also included. 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 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, zelle or Venmo prior to departure.
THANK YOU!

We are happy to now offer Evening Sunset, Ocean and River cruises on our BoatBooker page: https://fshb.kr/cW25B

Perfect!
6 Hour Trip – Inshore Striper on June 20, 20265 adults1 child

The thrill of hooking striped bass was one of the greatest experiences in my 70 year life. Being able to watch my grandsons' first hook ups was pure joy and something none of us will ever forget. The entire trip was second to none. We started off catching some mackerel (fun in itself) and then Captain Kristian put us right in top of the bass. The oldest hooked a surgeon first off and then we caught several 37" - 40" bass. Great boat, plenty of room, a good spacious head, and expert hands on help if you need it. This is a top notch charter.

Reported catch:
Striped Bass

perfect day on the ocean
4 Hour Trip – Inshore Striper on July 13, 20262 adults

Captain was great, freandly, conversational, and took really good care of us. We caught 4 big striped bass—one small enough to keep for dinner. was fun to catch the mackerell also—usually we dont get to take part in that with fishing tours like these. Everything was perfect and bonus bathroom on ship!
