Eastern Ambitions is a saltwater guide service that charters out of the Northeast Atlantic, specifically the Merrimack River and all adjacent ocean areas.
Striped Bass, Bluefish, Cod, Atlantic Mackerel, Haddock, and more, could be biting depending on the time of the year. Fish caught during the trip are yours to take home, so long as they’re within the legal limit. The crew can even clean your catch for you. Have a cooler ready in the car!
Eastern Ambitions is dedicated to providing clients with a personal and memorable fishing experience. The boats are judgment-free zones. We accept all groups of people and accommodate persons with limitations or disabilities.
You’ll be fishing aboard a 22’ Sea Hunt with a capacity for 5 guests. Rods, reels, and tackle will be waiting for you on board. The boat is equipped with a toilet. Children are welcome, so feel free to make it a family adventure. The captain will provide snacks and drinks, but feel free to bring your own.
Your captain will not only take you out on a fishing trip, but they also enjoy explaining the various histories of the local area to all guests. The captain also focuses heavily on enlightening clients about the issues that exist within the local fishery, as well as the various fishing methods utilized and the reasons for specific regulations regarding fish species.
Understanding the "why" while fishing is as important as the "what" from their perspective. Eastern Ambitions Saltwater Guides forward to fishing with you now, next year, and years down the road.
Book your trip and hit the water with Eastern Ambitions Saltwater Guides!

KIDS JIG SPECIAL- 4 Hours (AM)
My family of four, including my 10 and 8-year-old daughters, had an absolutely fantastic time on our private fishing charter with Captain Pat. From the moment we stepped on board, he was incredibly welcoming and friendly. He’s not only a highly knowledgeable and skilled fisherman, but he was also amazing with the girls. He patiently taught them how to cast, let them handle the fish, and made the whole experience so much fun and engaging for them. We caught some great fish, and Captain Pat made sure every member of the family felt included and successful. Captain Pat also provided recommendations for cooking the fish we caught, again a huge success! We couldn’t recommend him highly enough and are already looking forward to our next trip!

KIDS JIG SPECIAL- 4 Hours (AM)
The crew were there prepared and waiting for us, we set off early and they took the time to understand not only our experience but what we wanted to get out of the trip before we even left the bay. They tailored the entire trip accordingly and worked very well together as a team to make it an awesome trip . My sons first experience oven fishing and he said it was best day fishing he ever had and he has years of experience catch large mouth bass. The guys are experts in their field using both their knowledge of the area and trends to get us fishing early and constant. Anyone want to go fishing in Newburyport area, you won’t find a better crew to bring you out.

STRIPED BASS - 5 Hours (PM)
My dad and I had a great day out with Capt. Pat. All the rigging and boat are in excellent shape. Multiple baits (some live) were supplied for different situations. We had a good day fishing because of this.

We had a crew of 4, and we all caught our personal best. The boat was perfect, and our captain was a true professional. He had our lines tight on fish all night long! Highly recommended charter!
