Captain Doug's love for the water began during his childhood on Cape Cod. Throughout high school, he gained hands-on experience working aboard a variety of charter fishing boats, learning from some of the top professionals in the field. In 2016, he attended captain school and earned his 50-ton master captain license, paving the way for him to launch his own charter service. By 2020, Doug acquired his current vessel—a 2010 26-foot Sailfish center console—and in 2023, he upgraded its power with twin 175hp Suzuki engines.
Seasonally, Captain Doug adapts his fishing targets: springtime brings pursuits of winter flounder, black sea bass, and striped bass. Summer continues with striped bass, while also including summer flounder (fluke) and bluefin tuna. In the fall, his primary focus shifts to bluefin tuna.

Experience the thrill of battling the North Atlantic's most powerful fish: the bluefin tuna. We have helped numerous anglers fulfill their dream of catching this iconic species.

Anglers enjoy a variety of techniques, including live bait fishing, trolling, casting artificial lures, and vertical jigging. To ensure a personalized experience, trips are limited to a maximum of four passengers. Please note that regulations can change yearly; under federal law, any bluefin tuna kept that measures over 73 inches must be sold by the boat’s captain.
