Memorable fishing charters in Downtown Boston | Boston Fish Charters

Boston Fish Charters, located in Downtown Boston, offers unforgettable experiences on the water. Our captain is dedicated to helping you catch that trophy Striper and the crew is ready to pick you up at any public dock in downtown Boston or provide free parking at Charlestown's Shrafft’s building. Our boat, Gertrude H, may not be the prettiest, but it outperforms larger boats when it comes to fishing. If you're seeking a fun time on a fishing machine, Gertrude H is the right choice.

Our crew will ensure that you have a fantastic day filled with fishing fun. Our trips, ranging from 3 to 8 hours, focus on Flounder, Bass, Bluefish, and Tuna fishing, depending on the season and conditions. You can expect to use various techniques, such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, drift fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning.

Flounder fishing is a popular option for filling up your cooler, and our captain's 30+ years of experience in the Boston Harbor helps us locate the best fishing spots. It doesn't matter if you're a novice or an expert, we're here to put you on the fish and show you the beauty of the Harbor.

Your fishing adventure begins on the Gertrude H, a 20' Welcraft V20 Step lift dual console boat that can safely accommodate up to 3 anglers. Despite its smaller size, this sport fishing boat has won numerous tournaments in Boston and surrounding yacht clubs, consistently outperforming larger boats in terms of fish counts. If your goal is to catch fish, Gertrude H is the perfect choice. However, if you're looking for a fancy boat for cruising, we recommend booking one of the more luxurious options.

All necessary fishing gear, including rods, reels, and terminal tackle, are included in the price of your trip, allowing you to fully focus on the fishing experience. Additionally, we provide all the required fishing licenses for the day, and our crew will clean and fillet your catch at the end of the trip for you to take home.
