Our captain's license is regulated by the United States Coast Guard, and we are permitted to take up to six passengers per boat. We permit the following on each vessel: 

32 Edgewater - 6 People

26 Cape Cod - 4 People

If you have more than six persons in your party, you may want to consider hiring more than one boat.

Sweatshirts, rain gear, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, camera, food, beverages, and a cooler for your take-home fillets if joining us on a fishing charter!

No, you are covered under my charter boat’s fishing license, and nothing further is needed.

No, we provide high quality fishing gear, and fresh or live bait. 

Yes, beer and wine only. Glass containers are discouraged. In the case that any passenger becomes intoxicated and disorderly, the captain has the discretion to cancel the trip and immediately return to the dock. No refunds will be given under these circumstances.

Weather conditions are in the captain’s discretion.  All of our boats are equipped with sophisticated weather radar equipment, and the decision to cancel will be made at the time of the trip. We will cancel a trip for heavy rain and/or thunderstorms.  If we do have to cancel your trip due to bad weather, we will reschedule it at a mutually agreeable time as soon as possible.

For Boston Harbor area charters, our boats depart from a marina located in Quincy, MA. For Chatham area charters, our boats depart from a town landing in South Orleans, MA. 

Once your charter is confirmed, the address of the location will be provided. 

If chartering aboard Slack Tide, a marine toilet is available for use. 

Our smaller vessel Fish Crazy is not equipped with a marine toilet. 

Yes, you can keep your catch if the size of the fish complies with state and federal laws and regulations. Yes, we will expertly fillet your fish for you, or otherwise dress them however you wish.  

It is customary to tip the mate for a job well-done. If no mate was available for your trip, the captain performs the mate’s duties (in addition to piloting the boat and finding the fish), and in that case, it is appropriate to give the captain that gratuity that would have gone to the mate.

Any trip cancellation made by the Captain for mechanical or weather related issues will receive a 100% refund.

Any trip cancellation made prior to fourteen (14) days before the scheduled trip will receive a 100% refund of the deposit. Cancellations must be made in writing via text or email.

Customers who cancel less than fourteen (14) days before the scheduled trip will forfeit the entire deposit. We will try to reschedule you if or when possible.

Clients who do not show up for their trip will be responsible to pay for the full amount of the scheduled trip.
