Al Gauron Deep Sea Fishing & Whale Watching is a family-owned maritime outfitter based in Hampton, New Hampshire, with more than 75 years of continuous operation. The company runs a diverse schedule of ocean and coastal excursions that include striped bass and bluefish trips, long-range tuna charters, bottom fishing for haddock and pollock, four-hour whale watching cruises, fireworks and pirate-themed outings, night fishing runs, and kayak rentals in the Hampton Seabrook estuary.
Departures originate from Hampton and are staffed by experienced crew who provide safety-focused guidance, local knowledge, and gear on most fishing trips. Many cruises feature a full bar and food options on board, while kayak rentals supply rods, bait, and private beach access for estuary exploration. Trip lengths range from short two-hour experiences to extended 12-hour tuna expeditions, offering options for families, anglers, and wildlife photographers.
The operation emphasizes transparent trip summaries, well-maintained vessels, and consistent seasonal scheduling. Guests are advised to bring jackets, rubber-soled shoes, cameras, and personal motion-sickness remedies if needed. With decades of local service, Al Gauron’s fleet serves recreational fishermen, wildlife watchers, and visitors seeking dependable New England coastal recreation aboard seasoned vessels and with trained crews.
