Create memories with family and friends as the captain and crew of CB Charters customize your fishing trip.

We'll make sure you have a fun and enjoyable time on the water whether you're a new or an experienced angler.

We can accommodate up to six passengers with a set fee for each trip (not per person).

Fishing trips range from 2-12 hours. We offer a mix of inshore and deep-sea excursions as you catch the most popular species including Bass, Bluefish, Haddock, Cod, Cusk, Tuna, and more. Two-hour Lobster tours are one of our most popular trips. We also have a blast with bachelor and bachelorette parties as well as families and small groups.

Our experienced mates work hard to make these trips memorable and are paid by tips only. The mate's 20% tip is separate from the booking cost of the trip.

The charter covers everything you need including rods, reels, and fishing licenses. All you need to do is show up.

We recommend bringing sunglasses and sunscreen and wearing layered clothes, and closed-toe shoes. Pack your lunch/snacks and water in your own cooler and replace them with fresh fish by the end of the day.

We're proud of the strong Google reviews we've earned from customers throughout our decades on the water.

    Plenty big boat for 6 anglers

    4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass (11 AM) on September 20, 2026 • 6 adults

    This was a nice, late in the season excursion just off shore. The captain and mate kept us entertained with local lore, while catching baitfish and hunting for stripers. Look forward to trying again next year.
