Angelica Fisheries is a Gloucester, Massachusetts-based charter operator providing a variety of fishing experiences in New England waters. The business runs multiple trip formats including 12-hour bluefin tuna charters, open-boat tuna trips, 3/4-day and half-day bottom fishing for haddock, and targeted shark fishing excursions. Captains Joe, Jay, and Dave lead the listed trips, offering anglers opportunities to fish aboard both guided charters and open-boat commercial-participation trips. Trips include commercial harvest opportunities on selected tuna outings and hands-on bottom fishing for haddock on half-day and 3/4-day trips. Several shark trips focus on local species found off Gloucester, and light-tackle techniques are used to provide an engaging experience. Angelica Fisheries positions each trip to highlight the fishing, the process of harvest when applicable, and regional regulations that govern sustainable fishing. Operating from Gloucester, the company leverages local knowledge of seasonal fish movements and regional waters. Guests receive direct instruction from the captains named on each listing and participate in boat operations consistent with the trip format. Information about trip lengths, target species, and captain assignments is listed with each offering so anglers can select the right experience. Angelica Fisheries emphasizes transparent trip descriptions and clear expectations so anglers understand boat type, target species, and any commercial-harvest participation prior to booking.
