First Bite Charters
Captain Dan invites you to join him on board his 35' Downeast. She's a Bruno Stillman Sportfish boat, built in 2010 and restored in 2017 – you won't miss any comforts of a modern vessel! Her spacious deck allows for 6 anglers to fish in comfort, without bumping elbows or knocking over gear. You'll travel to your fishing grounds in comfort, she is very stable and rides smoothly – powered by a 375 HP Volvo engine.
The fish off the coast of Quincy are numerous and practically waiting for an angler to appear to give them a fight! In the waters closer to the coast you'll go after Flounder in June, July, and August. The famous Striped Bass is available all summer long, from June to October. You'll fish all over Quincy Bay, Boston Harbor, and the waters of Stellwagen Bank.
If you're looking to check the prestigious Bluefin Tuna off your bucket list, the Tuna trip is right up your alley. This exciting, reel-screaming offshore action is available between August and November. Haddock is also a fish you can go after, from April to November. Remember to bring a camera to document your trophy catch!
Kids of all ages are welcome to join in-shore fishing trips but, we require a minimum age of 13 for offshore action. We will provide life jackets in all sizes. Live bait is caught during the trip. A full-head toilet ensures comfort even on longer trips, as well as a sink to freshen up between epic hook-ups.
Whether you're a fan of fishing the beautiful inshore waters of Massachusetts or itching for offshore battles, First Bite Charters has a trip for you! Book now to experience the thrill of angling with Captain Dan!

Captain Dan and Tom were great hosts. Knowledgeable and courteous. We caught a big stripe bass and everyone had a great time! Highly recommended.
We booked a 5 hour trip for my 12 year old son’s Birthday. Kids had a blast ! It was a nice relaxing day on the water. Dan and Tom did everything and more to put us on the fish. Highly recommended booking with Captain Dan! Can’t wait to do it again!
thank you hope to see you next year
It was pleasure to have you guys, lots of fun thanks
I (62) scheduled this trip for my son (32), my Son-in-law (38) and two grandsons (8 & 12). Being from Iowa, we are not “avid fishermen”. The crew was professional, helpful, courteous and most of all patient. My goal was to give these young men a “experience of a lifetime” that they could hold in their hearts forever. Capt. Dan and crew did everything they could to ensure that this happened. Mission Accomplished!!! The experience of being on a large boat, catching bait-fish (almost as big as anything we’ve caught before) and catching several large “stripped bass”. As “G’pa”, I received the honors of the BIGGEST fish!!! (too big to keep! LOL!) I highly recommend First Bite Charters for an experience of building memories for a lifetime with your family.
