You are more than welcome to bring any fishing equipment you like, but all of our boats carry top of the line equipment for both fly and spin fishers. We provide water, but advise those who want additional drinks and food to bring this with them. If you would like to arrange for boxed lunches through us, please let us know when you schedule your trip.
Additional items that would improve your experience include: Sunglasses (preferably polarized) Camera Non-marking shoes Jacket (we provide heavy foul weather gear, but your own may be more comfortable. Always bring an extra layer.)

Essentially, you need to get on Madaket Road, which leads to the West End of the island. From anywhere but downtown, this usually means coming from the Rotary out by the Stop and Shop and Fire Station.
From Town: Follow Cliff Road until it meets Madaket road. Go straight onto Madaket road for approximately 3 miles. You will pass the landfill on your left. When you see a sign for Madaket Marine on your right and a sign for Tristram's Landing on your left, go exactly 1/2 mile to F Street and take a left. There will be a sign for Walter S Barrett Public Pier. We'll be waiting 100 yards down at the docks, and there is ample street parking.
From the Rotary: Head North on Sparks Ave which brings you past the High School. Go straight through an offset 4-way intersection onto Prospect St. You'll pass the old windmill on your right and go straight through another 4-way intersection. There will be a field on your left as you come to an intersection at a monument. Take a left onto Madaket road and follow it for just over 4 miles. After a few miles you'll pass the landfill on your right. Continue on Madaket road until you see a sign for Madaket marine on your right and Tristram's Landing on your left. Exactly 1/2 mile further down you will take a right onto F Street. There will be a sign for Walter S Barrett Public Pier. We'll be waiting about 100 yards down at the docks. There is ample street parking.
Arrival time: There is no need to arrive early. We will have the boat ready when you arrive, and all you need to do is step onboard.

The Weather Factor: Our goal is to provide a positive and unforgettable experience. Capt Tom's 35 years of charter experience has given him a great ability to consider group dynamics and weather conditions to judge whether a trip should go out. We will never put anybody in a situation where they don't feel comfortable or will not enjoy. That being said, we've had some of our best experiences while getting as wet as the fish! We will be glad to discuss conditions and possibilities with you prior to your charter.
