Haddock Trips

On haddock charters, clients keep everything they catch within legal size and catch limits. Filleting and bagging are included in your trip. You’re welcome to bring a cooler for your catch, but if not, we’ll keep your fish iced and fresh until the end of the trip.

Tuna Trips

Federal regulations do not allow clients to keep bluefin tuna. Only federally permitted vessels may retain tuna. For any commercially landed tuna, you’ll receive a 10% credit (up to $1,200) from the sale. If we land a recreational-size tuna within quota limits, it can be cut, filleted, and taken home.

A minimum of two weeks advance notice is required to cancel a charter, the deposit will be returned. If within two weeks, the deposit will only be returned if we can schedule another charter on that date. If bad weather forces a cancellation (Captain's decision made at the dock) deposit will be applied to another day. If another day can’t be scheduled this season, the deposit will be applied to the next season. 

Should poor weather develop, full-day offshore sportfishing charter may be downgraded to full-day inshore, full-day inshore will be downgraded to half-day inshore, etc…
