Shark Fishing Charters

Welcome aboard FISHACAT! Our custom 40 foot sportfishing catamaran is unique in New England waters. We’ll pick you up at the Newburyport Municipal Marina. Fish for Cod and Haddock while we chum for Great Blue Sharks, Mako Sharks, and the occasional Giant Bluefin Tuna. Captain Chris has boated and fished all over the world including East Africa, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Aruba, Alaska, Antartica, and the Caribbean. He and his professional crew know New England waters and where to find fish. With her twin hulls, FISHACAT is faster, more efficient and very stable. People prone to seasickness find the ride significantly more comfortable. Price includes gear, bait, beverages and an onboard meal. If you feel the crew did a great job, an 18% crew gratuity at the end of your adventure is greatly appreciated.
