Tom infuses his passion for people, fishing, and Nantucket into a charter experience that stands alone. His emphasis on your enjoyment and light tackle fishing created a loyal following that continues to grow. This success allows us to run 4 boats specifically designed for fishing around Nantucket.
This is only possible thanks to an amazing crew that combine over a century of fishing on Nantucket and the same great enthusiasm for fishing and people that attract people to Tom himself. Whether you've mastered the sport, want to try it for the first time, or simply love the water and great company, we hope you make us part of your Nantucket experience.

Inshore
Report
Plug casting and fly fishing the rips and shorelines around Nantucket is very exciting and has been Capt Tom's specialty since 1971. While other boats have begun to switch from the heavier troling tackle, no one else has the experience or quality boats that lead to Capt Tom's Charters' success and unmatched reputation.
Flats
Report
Spending a day on the idyllic shallow waters around Tuckernuck and Muskeeget is hard to beat. Add the thrill of stalking stripers in shallow waters, and you have a perfect package. Our flats boat - Roccus - is an 18' Maritime Skiff that is perfectly suited to fishing Nantucket's flats.
A higher profile (side walls) than its southern counterparts allows us to fish in the sometimes windy conditions of Nantucket and take her further from port to expand our fishing potential.This ability is critical in Nantucket where wind and light conditions vary, and fishing the flats depends on good visibility - both of which can be diminished by wind and clouds.

Offshore
Report
As our crew and fleet have grown, so to has our ability to catch off shore species. Some of our captains brought many hours of off shore fishing with them and our entire team has benefited greatly as we expand our fishing opportunities. Take a moment to read about Shark and Tuna fishing. While it is different than our light tackle fishing, it can be very exciting and offers a great change of pace.
Early Morning
Report
There is something very special about fishing before, during, or just after sunrise. Some of our earliest trips actually seem like night trips until the horizon begins to glow as dawn approaches. Our charter times change daily with the changing tides, and some of our days start as early as 3 am. The latest mornings will begin at 8 am before starting all over again roughly every week.
Night Fishing
Report
Night Fishing is one of the most traditional and most effective ways to catch Striped Bass - big Bass. Just like before dawn, the lack of light and traffic on the water combine to make Striped Bass extremely active. From the moment you leave the dock, there is a special feel on a night fishing trip.
