About the charter operator
Essex, Massachusetts, United States
Captain Ted Marshall is the founder and owner of Agawam Boat & Fishing Charters. His love for the ocean began at a young age when he was only 8 years old. He became friends with a retired sea captain who taught him everything he knows about the environment and ecology of the ocean. During this time, he learned how to clam, lobster, and fish for many other species which led to a lifelong appreciation for all aquatic life. Capt. Ted eventually went on to receive a B.S. in Geology, Environmental, and Marine Sciences, and in 1992 he finally earned his master mariner's documents. Since then, Capt. Ted has worked on a number of boats, held the title of shipmaster for many operators, and began running Agawam Boat & Fishing Charters in 1995. Capt. Ted also trains owners in boat operations and performs yacht deliveries regularly. With his breadth of knowledge and kind spirit, Capt. Ted will show you a good time and put you on some incredible fish!

Excellent experience!
Captain Ted was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and experienced. The coastal area we were in was quite unique. We'll certainly book with him again!

Great trip out
Capt Ted is an excellent host. A group of 6 adults, we took the 1/2 day fishing/sightseeing trip. It was great. Weather cooperated, but the fish, unfortunately, did not. Ted was very accommodating and tried his best to get us some fish. He may not be a native, but he is a local. He knows a lot about the area and took us throughout the Essex river and out to Crane's Beach and the bay off to the side. It was a fun day on the water. And the price was right.
