If you’re looking for a place to stay we recommend the Essex Street Inn. There is also the Garrison Inn or the Fairfield Inn Marriott in Amesbury.

When we’re hungry, we like to head over to Park Lunch.

If you’re looking to buy some fresh fish, go to David’s Fish Market.

Charlie is a member of the Northeast Charterboat Captain's Association. We have great respect for the US Coast Guard, U.S. Coast Guard Station Merrimack River, and the Newburyport Harbormaster.

If you’re looking for fishing information, you can try Saltwater Sportsman, the Mass Division of Marine Fisheries, or the NOAA Fisheries Service.

For big party boat fishing, we recommend Captain's Fishing Parties.
