FirstFlight Charters
Offering Scenic cruises around Portsmouth Harbor to the Isle of Shoals to reeling in the catch of a lifetime FirstFlight Charters will create some memorable times on the water! Having logged hundreds of hours on these tidal waters Captain Brent is prepared to take you for the trip of your choice along the beautiful Maine & New Hampshire coastline.
These waters are home to Atlantic Mackerel, Haddock, Cod, Striped Bass, Bluefin Tuna, Blue Shark, Whiting, Bluefish, Porbeagle Shark, Mako Shark, and more, depending on conditions.
For these species, you're likely to troll, anchor drift while bottom fishing using light to heavy tackle.
Select FirstFlight Charters are kid-friendly, so get 'em off the iPad and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Max of two kids under 12. Feel free to bring your own food, drink & snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue! Ice and coolers are provided.
Your excursion begins aboard a 25' Pilothouse Boat with capacity for 4 passengers and two crew. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
This charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with FirstFlight Charters!

We had a wonderful time fishing with Captain Brent Skilling and his first mate! I wanted to do something special that my youngest son loved to do before he left home, and this charter was the perfect choice. Caught a lot of big fish and stayed active the entire time. Captain was great teaching me how to fish for the first time. He knew the spots and had all the equipment necessary. I would recommend this charter to others.
It was truly a pleasure having You & your Son out on the water. I'm glad we got on some Big Bass and enjoyed the Maine & NH seacoast. Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon.
Captain was absolutely amazing. He was highly knowledgeable about the striped bass fishing as well as local wildlife. Very personable interacting with the adults and children. He made sure that we got to see lighthouses and seals! In addition, we caught amazing striped bass. Highly recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for a good time with personal service.
I had a great morning with your beautiful family. Picture perfect weather and we finally got on the big bass. Thank you for your kind words and hope you had an awesome time on the water?!
We caught some mackerel. It was a great trip. Brent showed us how to properly fish and he was very patient and kind. We will be back next year to go on another fishing trip with him.
You guys were great. Sorry the bass fishinh was a bit slow, but we gave it our best. Happy to take you out on the Atlantic! Seeyou next year.
Great experience all around. Baited for mackeral early and then ended up catching a huge stripper!! Highley recommended!!
Adorable family. Happy to get them on a few fish & take them for a cruise around beautiful Portsmouth, NH.
