With over ONE HUNDRED 5-star reviews on Fishingbooker you know you’re in the hands of one of the best charters in Boston!
Fishbucket Sportfishing was awarded TOP TEN charter boat in the USA & Caribbean by USA-Today for 2023!

Captain Mike Delzingo welcomes you on board the “Fishbucket”. She’s a twin diesel 32’ Wellcraft Coastal Express. Originally built in 1984 and restored in 2019, she’s got a build that stood the test of time and all the amenities you need to be comfortable. With a 6 passenger capacity, you can bring 5 friends or family with you on a fishing excursion in Boston Harbor. Offshore trips are meant for up to 4 anglers.

Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned sea wolf, Capt. Mike will instruct and assist you in any way needed.

Inshore fishing in Boston Harbor can land you Striped Bass, Flounder and Bluefish – it’s great for anglers of all ages.

In late fall, offshore addicts can get ready for a proper treat: a 12-hour offshore extravaganza. You’ll go after a variety of Sharks and schooling Bluefin Tuna up to 50 miles offshore. Torpedo-sized Giant Bluefin Tuna can also be landed in offshore waters with Capt. Mike by your side.

The charter will supply you with all the necessary tackle. It’s all high-quality gear manufactured by Penn. Our onboard tackle selection ranges from fly-rods & 2500 size light tackle setups, to 130 Internationals and everything in between. We match the tackle to the size fish we are targeting for the most fun!

You don’t even need a fishing license, as the Captain’s license covers everyone on board

Kids are more than welcome on board and there is no minimum age.

Get ready for an adventure off the coast of Boston! Come see what all the great reviews are about.  Book a trip with Fishbucket Sportfishing and start making memorie

"Fishing is in my blood. Born and raised a fisherman, as are my children. Owning and operating a charter boat was my destiny." Captain Mike Delzingo has been fishing for four and a half decades. He's spent the past 30 years fishing saltwater right here in Boston harbor, learning the tricks of the trade and the taste of the local species. Captain Mike is also one of only a handful of local rod and reel commercial fishermen. Supplying fresh, local, sustainably caught seafood to restaurants and markets in the Boston area. Capt. Mike will gladly show you the ropes and help you have a lot of fun on the blue waters of Boston. Accepting all major forms of payment including PayPal, Venmo, Cash and Credit cards on board the boat, and we never charge extra for Boston pickup, because we are actually in Boston! Please remember the first mate works only for tips, and a 20% cash tip is customary.
