Please note:
- Prices change here based upon the cost of fuel. I will honor the rates when you book them.
- Our boats are not handicap accessible, please notify us if you have special requirements as we may still be able to accommodate you
- Tuna, and other fish, caught with in the legal limits legally in the recreational category may be kept and divided up among the passengers/crew.  Decide what you want before you leave the dock so as not to waist fish.  Ideally, Tuna under salable size are tagged and returned safely to the ocean.
**Many passengers are surprised to find out that Tuna caught on board any commercial boat in the general commercial category (over 73") may only be retained by a Commercial Captain for profit.  It's the law.  Feel free to call the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Highly Migratory Species (HMS) unit located in Gloucester Massachusetts and/or the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) in Boston to check it out.   The laws and penalties are very strict on retention and sale of Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna and this is an important part of how we make money as commercial fisherman.  If we land a saleable Blue Fin Tuna (currently over 73" CFL) Captain Bill and I have decided to update our policy on sharing the proceeds of a saleable fish with the customer and we have come up with the following:

If a saleable fish is caught to be brought to market, the charter party will have a choice or either:

Get the charter for free,
or,
30% of the sale of the fish.

This decision needs to be made before we reach a dock to offload, or you will get the charter for free.  We don't know what it will bring until the buyers get a hold of it for their sampling.

It's a gamble, but so is fishing!
