Enjoy Marthas Vineyard Fishing Charters

By Jeanette Riggs


Spending a day out in the fresh salty air is a wonderful experience. Many people find that heading out for a great day fishing with friends or family is one of the highlights of their summer. It can be a half day outing that stays close to shore, or an overnight journey to deeper waters in search of shark. Whatever the trip, Marthas Vineyard fishing charters have something to make everyone happy.

The charter boats range in size significantly. The smaller boats that are around twenty to twenty five feet in length usually carry around six people. They are perfect for small groups or families. Children love to go out fishing and it is a wonderful way to spend time together. All the tackle is provided and even someone who has never fished before will soon be reeling in some big fish.

The larger boats are equipped to carry around thirty people. They are often used for company outings and other events. The bigger boats are able to travel further and faster and can get out into open waters. This gives the opportunity to fish for larger species and even swordfish and shark. Landing a shark is a once in a life time experience for most amateur fishermen and a truly memorable event. Even catching some good sized stripe bass or tuna can really make the trip worthwhile.

Most charters are looking for bluefish, tuna and striped bass. The waters off the Massachusetts coast are teaming with these fish. Striped bass are particularly popular as they are very easy to cook and provide a generous amount of fresh tasty meat. The captain and crew are usually quite happy to help gun and clean the fish as soon as they are caught. They can then be packed in ice to keep them as fresh as possible.

It is usually very easy to book on line. Rates usually depend on how many people are fishing on each trip. Those looking for individual instruction will also find plenty of great charters to choose from. The final decision is often made by choosing the name of the boat. The boats seem to have a personality all their own and many fishermen return time after time to fish from the same vessel.

Safety should be of paramount concern to everyone on board. The captain will give a safety talk before leaving the harbor and let everyone know where the life jackets are kept. In most cases children will be required to wear a life jacket or personal floatation device at all times. The weather is another important factor to keep in mind and poor conditions may force the trip to be delayed or cancelled.

Safety on board should always be a priority. Life jackets should be assessable at all times and the captain should review safety procedure with the guests and crew as they set out on their trip.

There is just nothing to compare to a beautiful day out on the water. The ocean breezes and fresh salt air will help anyone to forget their cares and just enjoy themselves. For many people Marthas Vineyard fishing charters and one of the most memorable days out. They can spend time with friends, fish and enjoy some great food and drinks.
