We offer a variety of trips on both vessels, our shortest inshore trip is a 2 hour family discovery trip and our longest a quality 10 hour offshore trip.

Our 4 and 6 hour inshore sport fishing trips aboard the Gath IV are the most popular! We strive to suit the trips to our guest?s fishing desires and capabilities.  Our inshore trips are enjoyed by families, because you have an opportunity to catch big fish close to shore within just minutes of the harbor. Most of the action is within 1 mile of our spectacular scenic shoreline. Inshore we target stripers, mackerel, and bluefish on light line as they migrate along the Maine coast. Offshore we target cod, haddock, pollock, tuna and shark in much deeper water.

An experienced USCG licensed captain who is also a registered Maine guide, and a 1st class professional mate are provided on all our trips for your safety and convenience  Many of our guests note that the one thing that sets us apart, is the caring, personal service provided by our professional crew!
