On The Side Charters
On The Side Charters operates out of the historic town of Newburyport, MA, offering a variety of fishing trips from 3 to 10 hours. The waters around Newburyport are teeming with a wide range of species, and On The Side Charters makes the most of this fact, by offering trips targeting anything from Mackerel and Flounder in the shallows, to huge Sharks and monster Bluefin Tuna way out into the ocean.
The boat you will be spending the day on is a 29' Webbers Coast downeast with room aboard for up to 6 guests. She's powered by an impressive 280 HP General Motors engine, meaning you will waste no time getting to the best fishing grounds offshore, and comes equipped with everything you will need for some awesome fishing.
The vessel features all-new Simrad electronics, with CHIRP sonar to allow the best possible view of what lurks beneath you. Once you're locked in on your catch, a choice of realistic lures and live bait fresh from the tank will be too tempting for any fish to ignore, and the vessel's tournament grade tackle will give you the best chance of landing whatever you sink your hook into.
Captain Jonathan Carey takes pride in offering one of the best selections of trips around, welcoming clients aboard for anything from 3-hour stints after work catching tasty Striped Bass for dinner, to 10-hour offshore adventures doing battle with giant Bluefin Tuna. In order to be productive targeting so many species, he offers a choice of light and heavy tackle, with the option to troll, spin, jig, and pop, as well as to drift, fly, and kite fish.
Even if fishing is not your thing, On The Side Charters have the perfect trip for you, taking in the Newburyport waterfront on a 2-hour sunset cruise. No matter what trip you choose, Captain John will work with you to make sure it is exactly what you are looking for. On offshore trips, all large Bluefin are kept by the boat, but Captain John will give you a 10% discount on your next trip.

Was great having you guys on board and equally awesome we could prove not everything is bigger in Texas !
Jon was a great guide and his knowledge of the local waters was greatly appreciated. My son in law, grandsons and I had a great time. Landed several good size fish in a short period of time. When a captain enjoys his Chosen profession as much as Jon does, it’s easy to please his party. Nice guy with a good boat. Happy sailing my friend, keep up the great work. I highly recommend a charter with On the side charters. 👍🏻😎🤙 Mr. Brewer
Was a pleasure! The boys did great! Looking forward to next year! Safe travels!

My group and I had an amazing time even though we had no luck at all. The Captain tried everything he could to get us at least something but even without catching anything my group just enjoyed the time with the Captain.

Very good experience. Capt Jonathan accommodated us in a short notice booking. We managed to get on the fish and had a great time. Local and knowledgeable Capt from the immediate area. I would recommend this booking.
We had an outstanding trip with Jon. A true professional. My cousins had never fished in the ocean before this trip however Jon made sure that they caught fish ! A memorable day Thanks Jon !!!
