Memorable Days Out With Marthas Vineyard Fishing Charters

By Jeanette Riggs


Each year many people enjoy a memorable day out with Marthas Vineyard fishing charters. These trips are one of the best ways to enjoy the great outdoors with family and friends. Every level of experience is catered to, from the complete beginner all the way up to the most seasoned fisherman.

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.

Each boat is different and designed to carry varying numbers of people. The smaller boats are perfect for groups of ten or less. Charters are becoming increasingly popular with families as it is a great way to spend time together. Children are welcome to join the fun and all their tackle is also provided. They will be thrilled to fish along side their parents and have every bit as much chance of catching some fish.

Most people are fishing for striped bass. This is a great fish to eat as it has a mild taste and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Most captains will gut and clean the fish as they are caught and wrap them in ice so the clients can take them home. Some boats are even fitted with a barbecue grill so that the guests can cook up some freshly caught fish for an open air lunch.

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.

Charter trips can run for a few hours, half days, full days or even over night trips to really get out into open waters. Before taking this type of excursion it is important to spend time on a boat to really get the feel for it. An experienced captain will be able to talk with each client and work out the best package for their individual needs. A big group will have completely different needs to a lone client who wants to learn how to fly fish.

One very important factor to keep in mind is safety. Everyone on board should be given a thorough safety talk and demonstration before the boat leaves the harbor. It is vital that children wear life jackets at all times and the adults know how to react in the event of an emergency.

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.
