Book your next trip with Lucy B Charters and find out what the fishing in Portland is all about.
Around here the fishing is popular for Striped Bass, Atlantic Mackerel, Lobster, Cod, Haddock, Pollock, Blue Shark, Thresher Shark, Porbeagle Shark, Mako Shark, Bluefin Tuna, Black Seabass, and more with any luck. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Children are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
Your excursion begins aboard a Phoenix 29 Sportfish with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Chris has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
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 some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Lucy B Charters.

Lobster!... Not a fishing trip
2 Hour Trip – Lobster (10AM) on October 7, 2025 • 2 adults
Nothing short of AWESOME describes our lobster trap fishing trip! Capt. Chris was above and beyond in making sure we were comfortable as well as explaining his high safety standards. He was incredibly knowledgeable and let us do as much or as little as we wanted. We caught 3 but only 1 was a keeper... and it was yummy!
The boat was clean and in 'ship shape'. Nice, clean chairs and above average interior, for a fishing boat. If ever again, we would only call on Lucy B Charters.

2 Hour Trip – Lobster (1PM) on July 12, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child
We had an incredible time on the 2-hour lobster excursion aboard the Lucy B with Captain Chris! From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captain Chris made us feel welcome with his easygoing personality and clear passion for what he does. He was incredibly knowledgeable about lobster trapping—both on a commercial scale and for hobbyists—and explained the entire process in a way that kept all three of our teenage boys engaged.
The boat was spotless and well-organized, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Captain Chris’s positive energy and genuine love for his work made the experience even more enjoyable. We all walked away learning something new and having a great time on the water. Highly recommend this excursion—it was a highlight of our trip!

2 Hour Trip – Lobster (7AM) on July 19, 2025 • 2 adults • 3 children
I booked a lobstering trip with Captain Chris for myself and family. His boat was pristine & had a great set up to enjoy the scenery. We were able to pull 5 traps, and caught 2 lobsters, a few crabs, and a massive snail! Captain was AMAZING with our young boys, and taught us a lot about the industry, a bit of history of the area, and a had a great BBQ recommendation (Wilson’s BBQ)! His price was extremely fair, and I was able to pay the balance via Venmo (we gave a cash tip). We loved our experience and highly recommend!

4 Hour Trip – Stripers (1PM) on June 21, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child
we two less than limber grandparents treated our son and grandson to a fishing trip. Captain provided comfy chairs for the two of us and we enjoyed watching him give instructions and help to our two anglers. Our 13 yo grandson is fishing crazy, The boat was very comfortable with nice cabin (and head). Getting off was a little dicey with rocking boat and floating dock but he helped us off safely. He always made sure all of us were doing well. Our 13 thought he was terrific. it's a wonderful treat to charter a boat just for family.

8 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing on July 16, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children
Chris was great. He was also patient with the kids and assisted them in making a great memory and taught them fishing skills along with it. He worked all day getting us to the fish or the fish to us, and didn’t give up until we got it done. He even picked us up and dropped us back off at the dock at Peaks island where we are staying and saved us a ferry trip across. We would certainly do it again and would recommend anyone considering a private charter trip to give iLucy B consideration.
