Vineyard Boat Charters is a bottom fishing charter that focuses on a family fishing experience that no other charter on the island does.
"We are more than thrilled with our experience with Captain John Hobby and Vineyard Boat Charters!" — Jamila,
There's a fish with your name on it in Falmouth and Obsession Sportfishing will help you catch it! Striped Bass, Bluefish (Tailor), Little Tunny (False Albacore), Black Seabass, and more could be biting, depending on the time of year.
Martha's Vineyard stands as a premier New England fishing destination, renowned for its exceptional variety of saltwater species and breathtaking coastal scenery. The island's nutrient-rich waters in Vineyard Sound and surrounding areas host legendary striped bass migrations each spring, while summer brings aggressive bluefish blitzes and abundant fluke. From May through October, anglers pursue bonito, false albacore, and even trophy yellowfin tuna offshore, with opportunities for exhilarating shark encounters.
Charters cater to all experience levels, offering everything from family-friendly trips targeting scup and sea bass to specialized fly-fishing excursions along Menemsha's picturesque coastline. Private group charters accommodate celebrations while exploring prime fishing grounds like Wasque Point's rips or Lobsterville Beach's fly-fishing havens. Tropical species occasionally appear due to Gulf Stream currents, adding unexpected variety to the abundant local catches.
The island's deep fishing heritage shines through events like the Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby. Modern charters combine expert local knowledge with comfortable vessels equipped for half-day adventures or extended offshore expeditions. Whether wading Norton Point's shores or battling tuna from a private charter, Martha's Vineyard delivers unforgettable angling amidst New England's most iconic island scenery.
