Newburyport has a fish with your name on it, so let Reel Justice Family Charters help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Travis, bringing aboard their professional experience.

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Striped Bass, Haddock, Atlantic Mackerel, Porbeagle Shark, Thresher Shark, Bluefin Tuna, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Travis can also help you try kite fishing.

You'll be fishing aboard a 25' Sportsman center console with capacity for 5 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Travis has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Bottled waters are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Reel Justice Family Charters is just a click away.

    Perfect Fishing Day!!

    Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing on August 24, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Travis is the best!! My father (84), nephew (14) and I went out today and caught 3 keeper Stripers!! So challenging and fun to reel them in! Others were fishing around us but not doing what Captain Travis was doing and it didn't look like anyone else caught fish. We had so much fun! Even catching the mackerel for bait was fun. We saw 2 dolphin pods and a big sun fish. As if that weren't awesome enough, Captain Travis took us to his lobster pots and my nephew got to hook the buoys and help pull up the traps! We took home 5 keeper lobsters! We saw 3 huge females with eggs and other females and small lobsters that were thrown back. A great experience! We even got to fish in the mouth of the Merrimack river where a seal popped his head up after stealing my mackerel!! So cool! We had a truly perfect fishing day and then a really tasty dinner of fish and lobster and corn!! Doesn't get much better than that! Thank you Captain Travis!! We will definitely go out again! I wish it were tomorrow! We can't stop talking about our fabulous day!

    Great trip and Great time!

    Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing on September 5, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Travis is a great guy!! Although we didn't catch any stripers, we pulled lobster traps and caught the biggest lobster we have ever seen!! (It went back to keep growing). He went the extra mile to help us catch a fish but unfortunately they didn't cooperate. I highly recommend anyone to charter with him and you will have a great time with or without the fish cooperating.

    Best Trip I’ve had in YEARS

    Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing on August 2, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    Captain Travis was absolutely incredible. Very knowledgeable about the fish, went right into school after school, and if the bite slowed down, he was in touch with anyone he could to find the next one. The boat? immaculate. The equipment? in great shape. The captain? friendly, accommodating, and hilarious. Could not have asked for a better day. I would highly recommend. We will be going back as often as possible. When we need a Charter near the Salisbury area, we wont consider anyone else. Thanks from us for a great time!!!

    Great Afternoon on the Water

    Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing - 1:00 PM on August 20, 2026 • 3 adults

    We had a great time with Capt. Travis and would highly recommend a charter with him. Striped Bass were fickle and we tried up and down in many areas. The knowlwedge of the fishing areas and experience ecentually paid off with a later afternoon early evening catch of a huge striped bass. Lots of different fish and nice time on the water.

    Great Captain!

    Full Day Trip – Striper Fishing on July 8, 2026 • 3 adults

    We were marking a lot of Stripers. But they just weren't hungry. Capt is obviously known in the area as other boats came by and told him they were having the same experience. But Travis didn't give up.We moved until we found them. We caught several slot size fish and we were all psyched to be bringing home dinner!!! We'll be back!
