Capt. Ben took myself and my 2 boys out offshore to fish. On the way out we saw a lot of humpback whales! Once we got to the "spot", we caught several cod and haddock right away. Then the captain put out fish oil and chum......20 minutes later we were hooked up to a blue shark that was close to... More

Amazing experience! The weather was beautiful and believe it or not I even caught a fish! We went on this trip for my boyfriends birthday and the crew was very hospitable and definitely made my gift even better than I had hoped. He caught more fish than I think he had caught in his lifetime and we will definitely be... More

Captain Ben took our family out for a charter to go striper fishing last July. I was totally impressed with this trip. Not only did he know where the action was but his easy going, fun spirit made everyone including my sons, ages 7 and 10 feel totally at ease. Everyone caught fish and had a blast! I will definately... More

I would recommend Kristin K Charters to anyone! Captain Ben knew exactly where to go and how to get the fish. We had a gorgeous day, the ocean was incredibly calm. We caught and released 11 sharks on a half day charter! At one point my 12 year old son and I both had a shark on at the same... More

Whether it's groundfishing for haddock, cod and pollack offshore, striped bass inshore, or shark fishing the Gulf of Maine, Kristin K Charters always dials us... More

I caught around 30 fish with 5 double hook ups butterfly jigging off the bottom. I kept 10 cod, 2 Cusk, 2 Haddock & 1 Pollack. The rest were released... More
