Midcoast Charters 68 Garrison Cove Road, Harpswell, ME 04003

"Captain Bill was a life saver! Originally had a different charter booked but that boat hit an ocean sunfish and was out of commission, Bill was able to make something happen last minute! Friendly captain with great knowledge and passion for the waters he fishes. Definitely would recommend him to anybody looking to do some fishing up in Maine!"

"We had the most amazing time this weekend with captain Bill and Indy. We booked a four hour charter looking for stripers and not only did we learn a lot and have a blast, we actually caught a bunch of fish! The experience would have been just as amazing either way (but it always helps to “win” and you feel like you have your best odds with this team). Bill is a knowledgeable captain and personable guy who makes the travel a pleasure, and both were willing to tailor the fishing part of the experience to our level. We got to try a few spots to catch bait fish and then the big game, and we enjoyed every second of it. It’s a thrill to be out on the water and really nice to have some friendly guides who know the local scene in and out and take all the work and frustration out of fishing. I can’t recommend them enough, we will be back!"

"Captain Bill and his first mate, Indy, were top notch! Our family of four caught 19 stripers today with awesome guidance from both the Capt. and his first mate. We also enjoyed catching mackerel that were used for bait. We saw an eagle and porpoises during the trip too. We can’t wait to visit Maine again and take a return trip on Mid Coast Charters!"

"I wanted to give a big shout out to Captain Billy Marshall Tranter for an awesome Striper charter trip this weekend! I decided to go with Midcoast Charters after multiple glowing reviews about Captain Bill from those in the fishing community. Even before we booked the charter, Bill took plenty of time to explain the process and was highly responsive to all questions and communications. I booked a 1/2 day Striper Trip for my dad, brother and a friend that came up from MA to enjoy some fishing, laughs and hopefully great weather. We nailed all of those things on our trip. Captain Bill put us on fish all day long and went above and beyond to make sure our trip exceeded expectations. Can’t thank Bill and crew enough for coming through on a trip that was everything we were looking for and more. Would highly recommend Midcoast Charters and will definitely be looking to book another charter as soon as possible! Great job guys, good luck out there and tight lines!!"

"I strongly recommend Midcoast Charters for a fun and informative outing on Casco Bay. Captain Bill and Indy are friendly and knowledgeable and they made our morning on the water a fun experience for all involved. Whether you are serious or casual about fishing, they are happy to adapt and make sure that everyone has a good (and safe) time on the water."
