Maine's saltwater for-hire fleet consists of two types of boats, Charter and Head boats. Charter boats carry 6 or fewer passengers while Head boats carry 7 or more passengers. The table below lists Maine's saltwater for-hire fleet, and is searchable, and sortable by any column. 

You may wish to search for a boat by county or port. A boat will appear more than once on the list if it will fish from more than one county. You can also search for a particular species of fish you would like to catch, a particular boat, captain, or any other text in the table.

Starting in the late spring of 2023, Maine's saltwater for-hire fleet listings will no longer be included here but will instead be located on a website hosted by the Maine Office of Tourism (MOT). The new location of these website listings will be part of a program to incorporate guided saltwater fishing opportunities into Maine's tourism campaign.

If you would like to be listed on the new Maine Office of Tourism's website, please follow this link to complete a form that will be used to populate the new web listing.
