Mako Wish Fishing Charters
Mako Wish Fishing Charters
Book your next trip with Mako Wish Fishing Charters and find out what you're missing in Saco. Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Craig can tell you all about these tides.
These waters are known for Pollock, Cod, Haddock, Atlantic Mackerel, Mako Shark, Striped Bass, Thresher Shark, Porbeagle Shark, Blue Shark, Bluefish (Tailor), Dogfish, and more. With any luck, it won't be long before you hear, “Fish on!”
On these trips, it’s common to drift and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life jacket of your own, be sure to ask if one is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized.
Your day begins aboard a 26' walkaround that can accommodate up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials you need for a day on the water.
You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
The charter covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a day on the water. Some fish have specific regulations, including restrictions on when they can be kept. If you're unsure what to expect, ask the captain.
Some essentials to bring are sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but hard liquor and glass bottles should be avoided.
Now, come aboard with Mako Wish Fishing Charters and get hooked!

6 Hour – Inshore Trip on September 9, 2026 • 5 adultsCapt. Craig was great and tried hard to put us on fish. We didn't catch but sometimes it goes that way. Everything else was very good- the boat, equipment, and so forth. Had we caught fish, this would be a 5 star review.
