Welcome to Peak Fishing Charters!

My name is Seth Nichols. I own and operate a 35' Duffy Downeast Boat named, 'EastSide'. I was born and raised in Duxbury, and have been commercially fishing this area since i was 13 years old. I have the experience and knowledge to confidently put every charter on the best fishing the area has to offer.

The goal of my charters it to show every guest how special the waters around Duxbury are. We will target Striped Bass, haul Lobster Pots, educate you on fishing techniques and the local area, as well as customize each trip to that
charters preference.

At the end of your trip, I will clean and process any fish or lobsters that you choose to keep.

Please reach out if you have any questions!

    Great Trip

    6 Hour Inshore Trip - 12:00 PM on September 13, 2024 • 2 adults

    I would recommend Peak fishing charters for anyone. Growing up on the coast, Captain Seth has incredible knowledge and the experience for success. Awesome boat and top notch gear! Above all, Seth is a super nice guy, very calm and collected, even when there are 600# tuna screaming drag. We'll be back!

    4 Hr. Day with Captain Seth!!

    4 Hour 6am Inshore Trip on July 8, 2023 • 4 adults

    Listen, We had an absolute Blast!! The Captain educated me on the sonar and radar readings, me and my friends caught bait fish that was almost as amazing as the actual trophy fish!! The boat ride with the education on the formation of the water and how the fish behavior are affected! Can't wait to book him again, we are already talking about next month!! The pictures speak for themselves!!

    What a perfect day!

    4hr 10:30am Inshore Trip on July 19, 2024 • 5 adults

    Captain Seth was fantastic! There were 5 of us ranging from 12-82 years old and we all caught huge sea bass. He was very attentive and cleaned our fish for us like the expert he is! Can’t wait to go back next season!

    Half Day Bass fishing with Seth

    4 Hour 6am Inshore Trip on August 19, 2023 • 4 adults

    We had a great day out fishing with Seth, even while we watched other boats catch almost nothing! Seth was very impressive, seemingly able to get us hooked whenever he wanted. We noticed a lot of the other boats around would just follow us and watch as we caught fish left and right. Best trip I’ve been on in my fishing career.

Very proficient and thorough
4hr 10:30am Inshore Trip on July 27, 2024 • 2 adults

We had a great time with Captain Seth! He put us on the fish! One of the best trips we've been on in years. We caught plenty of fish, saw seals, and even saw a humpback whale! Seth provided a plan to catch over-slot fish and have fun at beginning of trip then move into another location where we could catch our slots for dinner. The plan was executed perfectly! He even taught us how to clean the fish and provided a delicious recipe to cook them. Would highly recommend him to anyone!

Striped bass fishing
4 Hour 6am Inshore Trip on June 19, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 child

Seth was such a great teacher for our son’s first fishing trip. He caught several fish and was very patient. My son loved learning all about catching bait fish to cast netting. Then using live bait to rip some lips.
