These rates are based on 1-4 person private fishing charters (shared charters aside, of course). If requested, I can accommodate up to 6 customers, with an additional charge of $100/person ($50/person for half-days). I do limit shark charters to a maximum of 4 customers.
Our charter fishing trips are typically 8-9 hours long, with shark and combination/marathon trips running 10-11 hours long. In addition, we’ve had requests at sea to extend the day, which we will gladly do for an additional hourly charge of $100/hour.
Our rates are competitive, so that a small group can afford to have the boat all to themselves.
You don’t feel compelled to pack the boat with 6 people to save money (per person).
Deep-sea fishing is a blast and it shouldn't be elbow-to-elbow on a slow boat! We get you there
quickly, safely, and comfortably. Small charters are better, they're more personal, and:
For those used to fishing on party boats, we are small jump up in price, but a huge jump up in personal service! That is worth the price! Many of our customers have fished on party boats (head boats) in Maine, New Hampshire, Gloucester, Lynn, Plymouth, Hyannis, and even in Rhode Island. We feel that our private charter services fill the niche of great personal attention. It should feel like your birthday on our boat. It's your vacation, your time, and it should be done your way.
Smaller charters make for a great, personal experience on the water and it is much easier to make travel and hotel plans. You can drive in one car and get one hotel room! Many people drive several hours to fish with us. With a smaller charter, you don’t have to coordinate as many people, which can be difficult, especially when you have to plan around families and their schedules. I hear many people who speak with me say how they're struggling to find 6 people to fish on their charter. They are so used to getting 6 people on a charter boat, that they think that they "have to have 6 people". They are so relieved to hear that I specialize in 1-4 person charters and that it won't break the bank to fish on the Black Rose. In fact, I often get groups of 2-3 people who decide to charter out the whole boat for the day. Talk about great attention! With only 2 or three people on board, we can really cater to everything that they need. With tuna fishing...forget about it! It's amazing.
Everything is provided for you on these trips. Of course we provide all of the fishing tackle, bait, and lures. We also provide waters, sodas, and snacks. We have suntan lotion, raingear, and the means to store all of your fish on board.
When a fish is caught that we are going to keep, we bleed it, ice it down, fillet
it promptly, rinse the fillets, bag the fillets, and pack the fillets in ice.
There is no better way to keep your fish any fresher than this. Bleeding a fish firms
up the meat and keeps its color as pure as possible. We notice a huge difference and
that is why we go through these lengths for you. Since we trailer our boat, we have
the special ability to fish where the fish are. That is to say, if you are
staying in Plymouth and want to fish for cod, we can fish for cod from Plymouth Harbor
or Green Harbor. If you want to fish for sea bass or fluke, we simply leave from
Buzzards Bay. If you want to fish for shark, we can leave from Green Harbor and fish
east of Stellwagen Bank or we can leave from Falmouth or Buzzards Bay and fish south
of Martha's Vineyard. This ability to fish from different ports means that if you
come here to fish and the weather doesn't cooperate, your trip is not in vain -
we can fish someplace else where the weather may not be an issue.
