There's a fish with your name on it in Saco Bay and Keeper Charters will help you catch it! Captain Marco will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from his 50+ years of angling experience. This is Keeper Charter 13th year in operation.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Cod, Bluefish, Haddock, Pollock, Striped Bass, and plenty more. We can also tend lobster traps as part of your charter. You keep the legal sized lobsters!

On most trips, we fish very near shore using live Mackerel we catch at the start of the trip. The Mackerel are kept live and used to entice Striped bass. Capt. Marco also offers fly fishing for Striped Bass and offshore trips for Cod, Pollock, and Haddock. We have life jackets for every age, including children one year and up. No age limit. Infant lifejackets must be provided by customer.

You'll be casting lines from a 23' Sea Hunt center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials to make your trip enjoyable. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. High quality rods, reels, and tackle are provided.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by our charter boat licensing, 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. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

A few items to bring include a light jacket, hat, sunglasses, and sunblock. Alcohol is allowed. No hard liquor. You're welcome to bring snacks and drinks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

So much fun!
2 Hr. Mackerel + Lobster Trap Demo on June 9, 20264 adults
Marco was a fantastic guide. He was very easy to chat with and told us tons of interesting local detail. We saw tons of seals! Fishing was fun, we each caught some. The lobster traps had several lobsters to take home with us. It was definitely worth the trip, our family had so much fun!
