Fishing in Boston Harbor

Boston Harbor Fishing Charters offer anglers access to one of New England's premier saltwater fisheries, renowned for its seasonal abundance of prized gamefish. From May through October, Striped Bass dominate the inshore waters, with trophy-sized "Cows" providing thrilling battles around rocky structures and estuaries. These hard-fighting fish, averaging 15–25 pounds, are aggressively targeted using live bait like eel and pogies or artificial lures during peak summer months.

Complementing the Striper action, Bluefish swarm the harbor mid-to-late summer, delivering explosive surface strikes and nonstop action. Offshore adventures unlock opportunities for powerful pelagics: seasonal runs of Bluefin Tuna test anglers' skills, while bottom fishing yields Black Seabass, Haddock, and Atlantic Cod, particularly productive during spring and fall. Shark species including Mako and Blue sharks add to the offshore excitement.

Charters accommodate up to six anglers and depart conveniently from Boston Harbor marinas, eliminating the need for individual fishing licenses. Family-friendly options make these trips ideal for beginners and children, with mates providing hands-on assistance. Modern, USCG-inspected vessels feature heated cabins, advanced electronics, and spacious decks, ensuring comfort whether targeting harbor species or venturing offshore for deep-sea challenges.
