Slack Tide Charters
Slack Tide Charters
Looking to go fishing in Gloucester? That’s what Slack Tide Charters is here for! Captain Matt will be your guide, bringing aboard years of angling experience.
These waters are known for Bluefish, Bluefin Tuna, Blue Shark, Porbeagle Shark, Thresher Shark, Haddock, Striped Bass, Cod, Atlantic Mackerel, and more – with any luck, you’ll find out for yourself! You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
The Slack Tide is a 2021 Cobia 320. At 32’ long she boasts ample room to both fish and relax while underway. With twin 300 hp Yamaha motors you will get to the fishing grounds quickly, ensuring you spend the most time fishing. The Slack Tide is equipped with state-of-the-art electronics along with all required USCG safety equipment to ensure a safe and memorable day of fishing. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided.
You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It’s never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Slack Tide Charters!

Full Day Trip – Inshore
Best Fishing Charter Experience – Keeper Stripers and Spotless Boat!
Location and parking were super easy and hassle-free. We started the trip by catching plenty of mackerel for bait. Despite a recent storm making striped bass harder to find, Captain Matt went above and beyond, even extending our trip. We caught multiple keeper striped bass, and he cleaned the fish for us. The boat and bathrooms were spotless. Overall, a 10/10 experience—would definitely book again and highly recommend Slack Tide Chart

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)
Cap’t Matt rocks
Great day, great crew, great boat, great experience. Brought a group of teenagers with mixed fishing experience, including a few novices, Cap’t Matt and Nick made the day amazing. He did whatever he needed to do to find fish, we’re prepping the grill now to enjoy the day’s bounty. Very much recommend and we’ll definitely be back.

What a day!
Captain Matt took us out for a Father’s Day trip that did not disappoint! We caught HUGE fish all day long! He was punctual, very skilled as a captain, paid attention to every detail to take care of us fishing, and was a great guy! This was our first trip but it won’t be our last! Thank you Matt!

Full Day Trip – Inshore
Matt worked hard to get the stripers to wake up!
Matt has a spotless boat that is almost new and he keeps it in great shape. The stripers have been really slow this August, but Matt worked really hard to coax them to hit, we landed one nice 33” and missed some other swirls. He worked overtime to get results, great captain.
