There’s something special about eating fish you’ve pulled from the ocean yourself, and Black Rose Fishing Charters in Green Harbor, Marshfield, makes that experience as seamless as it is thrilling. Captain Rich Antonino, who’s been running charters full-time since 2004, doesn’t just guide you to the fish—he ensures your catch is prepped and ready for your kitchen, turning a day on the water into a true hook-to-table adventure.

Whether you’re battling bluefin tuna, hauling in haddock, or hooking striped bass in the abundant waters of Cape Cod Bay or Stellwagen Bank, Black Rose takes care of the messy work. At the end of every trip, Captain Rich and his crew get to work cleaning, filleting, and packing your fish into bags, all included in the price. You walk off the dock with a cooler full of pristine fillets, ready to grill, bake, or toss into a chowder. “I love seeing folks light up when they realize they’re bringing home dinner,” Captain Rich says, his enthusiasm for fishing matched by his knack for making every trip memorable.

The 25-foot Parker boat, rigged with top-tier gear, is cozy, yet spacious enough for up to four anglers, perfect for a family outing or a day with friends. From April through December, Black Rose chases whatever’s biting—think sea bass for tacos or tuna for sushi-grade steaks. Rich’s decades on these waters mean he knows where the fish are, and he tailors each trip to your group, whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned rod. Locals rave about his patience and how he makes everyone, from kids to retirees, feel like a pro.

While state rules prevent onboard cooking, the crew’s expert filleting sets you up to shine at home. Visit them online to book your adventure, and let Black Rose turn your fishing trip into a meal you’ll talk about all winter.
