Lagtime Charters invites you to experience the stunning waters of Gloucester. With Captain Dana at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
These waters are known for Striped Bass, Bluefish, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! On these trips, you can expect to troll using light tackle.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
You'll be casting lines from a 25' Cobia center console with a capacity for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter. Live bait will be caught on the trip.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain. A few items to bring include sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Katy Shannon5.0VerifiedGreat Captain depsite limited fish
Half Day Trip on August 16, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childCapt. Dana was a great host and clearly very exoerienced. We had great success catching mackerel for live bait but unfortunately no luck catching bass…not for lack of trying as Capt. Dana took us to several different (reliable) spots. We’d definitely charter with Capt Dana again in the future.
Johnathan Millett5.0Verified10/10 Experience!
Half Day Trip on August 2, 2025 • 4 adultsWe had an awesome time celebrating my father’s birthday! Dana was a great captain and put us right on the fish doubling up on some 40+ inchers on the first cast. He was a pleasure, communicative, and highly knowledgeable about the area - sharing some fun facts and conversation about the Gloucester area and history. Highly recommend. We will be back!
Tyler FouheyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedSaturday Morning Charter With Captain Dana
Half Day Trip on August 26, 2023 • 4 adultsHad an amazing morning out on the water today thanks to Captain Dana. We haven’t been fishing in a couple years and this was the exact experience we were looking for. Captain Dana took care of every detail. We spent time at the beginning catching bait fish. It took some time to get the bait fish but we didn’t expect to get anything with the first few casts any way. He was very easy to talk to which is great when your out on the water for a few hours and answered all of our questions about fishing, the fishing industry, and the local area. The four of us in our group all grew up in the area and Captain Dana had plenty of new information to share with us. We caught some striped bass and were able to keep one but one was actually so big we couldn’t keep it. Our group definitely made some great memories and will charter with him again.
Leslie JarrettRepeat angler5.0VerifiedProductive Half Day on the Water
Half Day Trip on September 9, 2023 • 2 adultsI love to include a fishing experience in my travel plans and I’m glad I booked this one! We drove from Boston and it was worth every penny. All the cards were dealt perfectly. Great weather, great bait fish, and great Stripers. We had two in our party and caught at least a dozen of these prehistoric monsters. We started out with a 35 in her and they only got bigger from there. Captain was a great guide and found a great spot that day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Pj InfurnaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedEnjoyable morning on the LAGtime

it was nice having Katy and her family on board. We covered a lot of water in our search for bass. It was a nice day for a boat ride.

it was great having Theresa and her mom aboard today. it was a perfect day for fishing a d bith if them quickly mastered fishing with live bait.
We had a great time fishing with Capt. Dana. Helpful and patient with my novice relatives out on the water!
David and his son David, and Ollie were fun to have onboard yesterday. Mackerel alley lived up to its name. We filled the live well up in no time. Both boys seemed ti enjoy bringing up stringers full of macs up. we made out way through the fog to several of my favorite spots without and takers. Finally at the lasr stop we found a keeper.

It was great to have Johnathan and his group on board. They caught on to fishing with live bait immediately. Hopefully it was a birthday his dad will remember.

Tyler and his group of friends were a lot of fun today. Fishing started out slow, but we finally found some bait and turned it into a couple of nice fish! It was great having them onboard. I had as much fun as they did.
