Fishing charter for four (4) people during the summer of 2025.  We primarily target blue fin tuna, but, we will also try for striped bass, bluefish, shark, haddock, halibut and cod (as allowed per state and federal restrictions).

The Boat

The Cross Check is a 34-foot Pursuit with twin diesel power.  She has state of the art electronics and all the required US Coast Guard safety gear is inspected and certified each year.  We have full restroom facilities on board.

What is provided?

All fishing tackle, bait, fuel, ice, waters, light breakfast, full lobster roll lunch with the freshest of lobster and 1 case of Bissell Brothers beer.

When do we go?

The boat leaves the dock at Spring Point Marina in South Portland, Maine at 6am and returns around 4pm (10 hours).  Fishing dates are weather dependent and usually are scheduled between July 15 and August 30. Thus year's target dates are during the Bluefin Bonanza Fishing Tournament. Bidders are encouraged to be flexible in their schedules as we need to go when the tuna fish show up.

Bring a light jacket, hat, sunglasses, sun block and camera.
