Suspect Charters 

There's a fish with your name on it in Boston Harbor, and Suspect Charters will help you catch it! Having logged over 20 years on these waters, Captain Jake is prepared to put you on the fish.

Depending on what charter you book, you can expect to catch Bluefin Tuna, Striped Bass, or Bluefish.

On the day of your trip, you’ll likely troll and live-line bait using light to medium tackle when targeting striped bass. For tuna trips, we use the heaviest gear possible, as these fish can grow well over 800 pounds. We typically fish for tuna while anchored or drifting with live bait.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Capt. Jake has two children of his own, an 18-month-old and a newborn who is just a few weeks old. He also has 11 nieces and nephews, so he is no stranger to having young kids around.

Your excursion begins aboard a 35' Downeast, a true New England fishing vessel. With room for up to 6 passengers, it has everything you need for a comfortable and productive day on the water. The boat features a comfortable couch, perfect for relaxing while you wait for the fish to bite. There is also a private toilet on board for your convenience, along with a large, clean berth for anyone who wants to lie down during the trip. The four custom Lebroc helm chairs provide exceptional comfort while underway.

Capt. Jake will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. We will definitely be catching live bait.

Trips are run with the help of Jake's right-hand man, Shep. It's customary to tip the Mate 20% to show your appreciation.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed, so long as you avoid hard liquor.

Suspect Charters will make it easy!
