Marblehead has a fish with your name on it, so let Tight Line Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Alex knows them forwards and back.
These waters are home to Striped Bass, Bluefish, Cod, Haddock, Pollock, Bluefin Tuna, Porbeagle Shark, Mako Shark, Blue Shark, Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, Dogfish, and more with any luck.
Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Alex also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear. For the more adventurous among you, there’s spearfishing.
If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
You’ll be fishing aboard a 23’ Sea Hunt center console with space for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

3 Hour Trip – Afterwork Special on June 30, 2025
Captain Alex was amazing. My 10 year old son loves fishing but I don't know much about it and Alex was very knowledgeable and took us to all the right spots where we both caught a ton of fish bait and my son caught huge striped bass. We had a great time.

Captain Alex was a wonderful host and exceptional skipper. The boatride was smooth, and Alex's knowledge of the area and fishing was laudable. He kept a very clean boat and maneuvered the space beautifully. Would happily take a tour with Alex again!

3 Hour Trip – Inshore (Midday) on July 5, 2025
Generally it is good, because it’s inshore, only two of us were allowed to fish at the same time, other two had to stay and wait, 3-hour trip is not long enough.

My family and I had a wonderful day of fishing with Captain Alex! Super friendly, knowledgeable, and excellent with the kids. We caught a bunch of striped bass and Captain Alex was kind enough to filet our catch as well. Lots of great insight about the surrounding area and marine life too. We had a blast and would absolutely book again with Captain Alex in the future!
