Sigler Guide Service, based in Marblehead, Massachusetts, offers a chance to explore the waters of Boston’s North Shore through fishing, whale watching, and lobster tours. Whether you’re an experienced angler or trying fishing for the first time, the team is ready to help you make the most of your time on the water. Light tackle and fly fishing trips target striped bass and bluefin tuna, while offshore charters provide opportunities to chase bigger game. For those interested in a different kind of adventure, whale watching trips offer a front-row seat to some of the ocean’s most incredible creatures, and lobstering tours provide a hands-on look at how lobsters are caught and harvested.

Captain Randy Sigler has spent over 40 years fishing these waters, both recreationally and commercially. As a former eighth-grade science teacher in Marblehead, he combines his love of fishing with a deep knowledge of the local marine environment, creating a fun and educational experience for everyone on board. Alongside Randy, a team of expert captains, each with their own unique background and decades of experience, guide trips throughout the region. Many of them grew up fishing in Marblehead, while others have traveled the world chasing everything from striped bass to billfish. The team includes captains who have worked on NatGeo’s Wicked Tuna, fished commercially, and taught young anglers the fundamentals of fishing at The Ultimate Kids Fishing Camp. Whether you want to learn new techniques, test your skills offshore, or simply spend a relaxing day on the water, they are dedicated to making each trip enjoyable and memorable.

The full team of captains includes Faxon Michaud, Pete Yukens, Dan Rand, Kris Enscoe, Jeff Trotsky, Scott Edwards, Tony Santosus, Jake Abbisso, Eliot Jenkins, Greg Katz, Tim Haigh, Jack Patrican, Bob Cook, Paul Alger, Dan Gray, and Garrett Alger. Each brings their own experience and expertise to the water, ensuring a top-tier fishing experience. Some have spent decades as professional captains, while others started as young anglers in local fishing camps before becoming full-time guides. The team’s diversity in background and skill allows them to adapt to different fishing conditions, techniques, and anglers’ needs.

Fishing charters are available in a range of options to suit different schedules and interests. Inshore fishing trips, ranging from three hours to a full day, focus on striped bass and bluefish using light tackle and fly fishing techniques. These trips are ideal for those who want to stay closer to shore while still having plenty of action. For those looking for a bigger challenge, offshore fishing trips run for six, eight, or ten hours and target bluefin tuna, sharks, and other deep-water species. These trips require a longer run offshore and are highly dependent on weather, but when conditions are right, they offer an entirely different level of fishing.

The Ultimate Kids Fishing Charter is a specialized trip designed to introduce young anglers to fishing in a fun and educational way. Open to kids aged eight to sixteen, this program does not require any prior experience, just an interest in fishing and the outdoors. The focus is on learning while having fun, making it a great way to build confidence and create lasting memories on the water.

Beyond fishing, whale watching and lobstering tours provide a different kind of ocean experience. Whale watching trips offer a rare opportunity to see these incredible marine mammals up close, while lobstering tours let everyone pull up traps and learn firsthand about how the local lobster industry operates. These trips offer a hands-on, interactive way to explore the waters of Massachusetts.

The fleet includes a range of well-equipped boats designed for everything from inshore fishing to offshore excursions. Captain Randy’s 24′ Everglades is built for maneuverability in shallow waters while still handling rough seas with ease. Other captains in the team operate boats ranging from center consoles to larger offshore fishing vessels, all outfitted with top-quality gear. Each boat is designed to provide a smooth and comfortable ride, ensuring that every trip, whether for fishing, whale watching, or lobstering is both safe and enjoyable.

Whether you’re looking for an exciting day of fishing, a relaxing whale-watching excursion, or a hands-on lobstering experience, Sigler Guide Service has something for everyone. With a team of knowledgeable captains, top-of-the-line boats, and access to some of the best fishing grounds in New England, every trip is designed to be a great time on the water.
