- Background
- Capt. Bill holds a USCG 50 ton master license and is a Maine Tidewater Guide. Bill is a born and raised local of York, Maine, who has spent his entire life in and around the waters of southern Maine and the New Hampshire seacoast. From an early age he developed a deep connection to the ocean, learning firsthand how tides, weather, and seasonal fish movements shape the fishing along this rugged and productive coastline. Over the years he has worked in a variety of demanding maritime roles, including commercial lobstering and offshore tuna fishing, gaining practical experience that only comes from long days and early mornings on the water. This hands-on background has given him a strong understanding of boat handling, safety, and how to consistently locate fish in changing conditions. Today, Capt. Bill brings that lifetime of local knowledge and passion to every charter he runs out of Ogunquit. He specializes in light-tackle striped bass fishing and also enjoys introducing guests to the steady action of mackerel and pollock trips that are perfect for families and beginners. Whether you are an experienced angler looking to target trophy fish or simply hoping to enjoy time on the ocean with friends and family, his goal is to provide a relaxed, safe, and memorable fishing experience. Capt. Bill takes pride in sharing what he has learned over decades on these waters and looks forward to helping guests create lasting memories along the beautiful southern Maine coast.
