On The Side Charters operates out of the historic town of Newburyport, MA, offering a variety of fishing trips ranging from 3 to 10 hours. Explore the abundant waters around Newburyport, known for its diverse range of fish species. On The Side Charters caters to all fishing preferences - from targeting Mackerel and Flounder in shallow waters to pursuing massive Sharks and Bluefin Tuna in the deep sea.

Our fishing vessel, a 29’ Webbers Coast downeast, can accommodate up to 6 guests and is powered by an impressive 280 HP General Motors engine. This ensures quick access to the finest fishing spots offshore. The boat is fully equipped with state-of-the-art Simrad electronics, including CHIRP sonar for optimal underwater visibility. We provide a selection of realistic lures and fresh live bait to entice even the most elusive fish, coupled with tournament-grade tackle for a higher chance of success.

Captain Jonathan Carey takes pride in offering various trip options, catering to different durations and fishing preferences. Whether it's a 3-hour outing for Striped Bass or a 10-hour adventure battling giant Bluefin Tuna, we have you covered. Choose from light or heavy tackle, and enjoy fishing techniques such as trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, drifting, fly fishing, and kite fishing.

If fishing isn't your interest, we also offer a 2-hour sunset cruise along the beautiful Newburyport waterfront. Captain John ensures a personalized experience and will work with you to tailor the trip to your desires. During offshore trips, all large Bluefin Tuna are kept by the boat, and as a bonus, you'll receive a 10% discount on your next trip with us.
