The Eastern Ambitions crew has been all over the country fishing for a variety of species, but our true passion is fishing the Northeastern Atlantic Coast. It’s where we were born and raised and where we will always call home!

My dad and I had a great day out with Capt. Pat. All the rigging and boat are in excellent shape. Multiple baits (some live) were supplied for different situations. We had a good day fishing because of this.

The Perfect Trip

VERIFIED

The captain was solo on our trip, but he did not miss a beat. The boat was clean, captain was friendly and very accommodating! We would definitely book with him again!

Which amenities are available onboard

Toilet

The head is a typical portable toilet found in the center console of our boat. This option is always available (for both ones and two) to those clients who prefer not to use the “world’s biggest bathroom.”

Live Bait Well
Ice Box

What’s included in the trip price

Rods, reels & tackle
Live Bait

Live bait is dependent on the trip that is booked. Certain trips do not require live bait and not having to acquire live bait saves time. However, most of our trips do utilize fresh, live bait, which we catch ourselves during the beginning of the trip.

Lures
Catch cleaning & filleting

We do not charge for cleaning ever. We do not charge for cleaning of fish either, though this may be an opportunity for you to reflect your appreciation towards the mate, as they will be maintaining the boat and cleaning all fish for clients.

Snacks

Eastern ambition generally keeps water and some basic snacks on board. Most clients choose to bring a small cooler with their own personal snacks and drinks. Eastern ambitions also has cooler space available on board.

Drinks

BYOB. Clients are allowed to bring/drink adult beverages on board, though we do encourage moderation. A good general rule is “one beer on land equals three on the water.” Eastern ambitions keeps water bottles and sometimes Gatorade on board.

First Mate
Fishing License

Clients are covered for all fishing licenses while on board by the captains license and the boat’s charter permit license. We deal with the fancy red tape ahead of time so you don’t have to!
