I've gone with Eastman for several years and they alway have good service. The captain moved our boat around several times to track the shoals. I definitely recommend taking motion sickness meds and hour before getting on the boat. We went for half day fishing and caught 20+ mackerel between 3 people. read more

Worst day of fishing ever. Honestly I feel like the boat was overbooked. You were basically standing shoulder to shoulder with the person next to you. The crew spent the majority of their time trying to untangle peoples lines. Majority of the people fishing on the boat didn't catch any fish during an 8 hour charter. I would suggest not trying to fill every spot on the boat so folks have a little room to fish and enjoy the experience. I've been on a few charters and this was unfortunately my worst experience. read more

Friendly staff but not one person caught a fish on the boat of 30 people. Beautiful day. at least saw a nice sunset.

What a great day! Awesome staff ! Great help! Hoping to go back again soon had so much fun with my daughter me and my day use to go! read more

Went out for the second time with Eastman's. It's a nice boat, with indoor tables and clean bathrooms. Beer and burgers are served in the galley. It rained hard and the fish weren't biting much but the captain made a good effort to find some action in spite of all. Crew was very helpful with bait, lures and fixing tangled lines. A little crowded at the rail sometimes but for the price, a great day on the water. read more

Our trip from start to finish went well. The captain and crew were friendly and knowledgeable. We caught plenty of Mackerel with hardly a break in between fish to catch a break. I highly recommend Eastman's for an enjoyable experience fishing. Thank you for a great day of fishing! read more

Eastman's Docks - Early morning fishing day - Fishing Near Me - Seabrook, New Hampshire

Eastman's allay has a great crew and boats. Terrific way to spend a day! Highly recommended.

Great crew and captain. I fish with them a lot and all ways have a good time. And bring home fish.

What a snag if a day! We had a good fishing trip because of the outstanding deck crew. All day long people's gear was getting tangled with each other. There were several sharks that loved to swim through our lines. The deck crew never got frustrated with all the tangled lines. I was more frustrated than them. Thanks for a good trip Eastman Docks. read more

I've been fishing with Eastman's once a week from April - September for the past 15 years - never been disappointed! Captains, crews and boats are top notch. Made some lifelong friends on the boat. They can't make the fish bite but will constantly move from one location to another to find them. Always have the opportunity to see whales, porpoise, sun fish and sharks. read more

I have always had high praise from the beginning when I first started going out with them. They always are courteous with customers, but it always feels more like family. I have a few memorable moments with epic catches. It has been a fun journey and I know there is more ahead. read more

Eastman's Docks - Nice weather and unbelievable view riding out to the fishing spot. - Fishing Near Me - Seabrook, New Hampshire

That was the worst fishing trip I've ever been on. The ocean was choppy and the waves were 6 to 8 feet high. Rough going in and rough going out. Below deck was littered with people vomiting. Not too mention everything I brought in my cooler was ruined. Shocked that they didn't turn around for the safety of the passengers. My body was banged up and bruised. I do not recommend Eastmans!! read more

A group of us got together for what has become a yearly event... The Fireworks Cruise. The weather was absolutely perfect... I don't think it could have been any better. We left on time & cruised out of the harbor. It was cool to watch the drawbridge open from the water vs the usual waiting in your car thing. We headed north out toward Portsmouth... And circled around The Isles of Shoals... I do not write professionally. Therefore it's difficult to convey to you just how breathtaking the combination of the sunset along with the beauty of the Isles was. . I have not seen any sunset similar ... Other than on the front of a postcard. We kept going as the sun did it's daily thing finally diminishing ... And anchored off Hampton Beach. Next it was the beautiful moon light over the water.... Absolutely striking. They turned down some of the lighting and played music while we waited for the fireworks to begin. It's amazing how the strip looks from the water. We saw some fireworks go off which we thought had to get closer to the state beach thinking - what is that? And so on. Then came the real show. It was awesome! I want to give Eastman's more stars. However can not this time around. #1 my group were all on the top deck shared with another who were completely trashed drunk. I know for sure they were not served on the boat anywhere near the amount of alcohol they'd consumed. They'd brought it onboard. Anytime I've gone on this cruise coolers or bags been checked.. what happened this time? Toward the end just before we took off to head back a woman - part of that group fell down completely flat on her back.. scaring the heck out of us. If the deck had been wet she would have slid right down the stairs.. it was truly frightening! #2 The restroom/head situation is really not good. It's ancient & who's cleaning it? And when? yes, it's a fishing boat and no one expects luxury... just clean it up! Also, there is a side window without any privacy shade etc ... Once it's dark and the light is on anyone walking by can peep in.. really not cool. Otherwise, this really is a great affordable way to spend an evening read more

Enjoyed the full day! The crew was just excellent and attentive. Enjoyed coming home with fish!!

Another wonderful fishing trip with the crew at Eastmans !!! Half day, full day, group boat or private charter, we've done them all. Just pick the one that works for you and enjoy!!! read more

Great crew on the boats fishing last night didn't catch anything but was still a great time

I went on an evening fireworks cruise. Three hours from 7-10pm. It was an awesome night. Captain Tori was excellent. Tho we were unable to go past Scholls island because of the fog we got to see a beautiful sunset, a gorgeous moon rising and over 12 Whale sightings! I got to enjoy the ride with Captain Troy's grandma who was a treasure. I enjoyed listening to her stories and how she spoke with much love. When it was time for the fireworks at Hampton Beach her face lit up so beautifully! I had an absolutely wonderful time! Everything was terrific! read more

Started fishing with Eastman's Docks over a decade ago, going out several times a year. Their service has always been very good. I just returned from 2 days of All Day Fishing with them, for the first time since Covid hit. On both trips the boat was full, but the crews were again very friendly, attentive and helpful- in untangling lines (some involving up to around 6-8 different lines), helping neophytes (with tips, unhooking fish, tying knots for rigging, etc.), and doing a great job of cleaning all of those fish! The captain, as usual, was attentive to when the fish were or were not biting, and changing location as needed (the fish may be down there but not biting). Soon the Tuna Striker Pub will open for the season. They open for breakfast very early in the morning and have a delicious menu for dinner. I would love to go more often, but it is 3 hrs 15 minutes to drive there from my home in Central Vermont. read more

My son and I fish with Eastmans often. The service and crew are top notch. We often fill the cooler with haddock and some days we only catch a few. It is fishing afterall and no matter where you fish some days are better than others. They are great about canceling or warning when seas are rough (being someone that frequently gets sea sick I really appreciate that). They professionally filet your fish for tips and I have never found even a little bone in my filets. The captain and crew are very accommodating. I have fished in all the oceans around North America and Eastmans has certainly been at the top of the charters that I have used. This is a great way to affordability spend a day on the ocean and catch a nice meal or two or three for your family. I highly recommend! read more

I'm sorry, but an "all day" fishing charter should not stop fishing at 1:35 and arrive at the dock before 3:30 pm.

Fishing wasn't great, 70-80% of fish were short and thrown back. Went on a small boat, seating inside for about 10 people. Very windy and rough seas. This boat should have stayed in port. If you stayed outside you got soaked when traveling. The ride in was extremely rough, it was a miracle no was injured. Nothing to hold on to inside, people being knocked around like bowling pins. Several ended up on the deck inside when no one could catch them. I'll never ride this boat again. read more

I took my son for the half a day fishing. The dock is easy to find. Front desk were very polite. I went on a Monday so plenty of room on the boat to move around. Boat is clean and crew are very friendly and helpful. My only complaints is the trip is too short. If I had to guess, we probably only did 30-45 minutes on fishing and the rest of the time searching around for a school of fishes. So the bottom line is half a day fishing is a waste of time... read more

Early morning fishing with Eastman's on the Tracy Ann III was a blast. The weather was beautiful and the fish were plentiful. The crew was very entertaining and fun was had for all.

What an amazing day on the Tracey Anne II on the Eastmans private charter boat. The crew was incredible and fun. Thank you Kyle for all your hard work cleaning the fish, (over 100 keepers on board) Our captain Fonzi did an amazing job keeping us on the fish. We had very few dogfish to deal with and lots of haddock were caught. This is our 3rd year fishing and I can't wait until next year. The best fishing on the sea coast read more

12-14 footers awesome day and cleaned up. I was there Memorial Day weekend and again on Father's Day!! I it's all in the wrist

Today 6/12/20 6:45 am. This company sucks. Very bad customer service. This fucking guy that work for Eastman's dock start to swear using "fucking" word at me and yellled "you get the fuck out of here and don't come back". We paid for full day fishing and the cashier told us to go to boat #1. We did and we settled down. Suddenly the crew told us to move to other boat. We did and when we got to boat #2. The captain told us to go back to boat #1. We moved back to boat #1. The crew said it fullled. You cannot go. You can get your refund. So we went to the cashier to get my refund. Suddenly this fucking worker started to curse at me and told me not to come back. This is very unprofessional. Don't go to this shit company. read more

Excellent day of fishing great day plenty of fish easy going hard working Crew I couldn't have asked for better weather and or service highly recommend using Eastman's read more

First I would like to say thank you to the staff of Eastmans!!! Everyone was so helpful and very kind! We planned a deep sea fishing trip with our kids and they were right there with every question or bit of help we needed. We will definitely be booking with them again and now a bunch of friends want to book as well. We caught 30 fish in total when I anticipated only catching a few. They definitely deliver when they say you WILL catch something. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to reel 'em in. Thanks again guys!! See you soon! read more

On Sunday 9/4/2022 I thought I would try Eastman's and was blown away by how awful my experience was. We were sent to the wrong boat to begin with and after being spoken to like a piece of crap we made our way to the other boat. We stepped over vomit and sat on the dirtiest boat ever. We left the dock and the Captain hit two boats on the way out. I heard a really loud crack and was a bit concerned that no one came to look at the boat until an hour later. The Captain could of avoided this completely. Two larger boats left just before us and they had no issue. The crew never greeted the guests and when the Captain made an announcement no one could hear him over the loud crappy music. There should of been some communication about safety. As the crew walked past you on the boat they never said excuse me instead they walked right in to you. I have been on plenty of boats and they are all really great. Only a few people caught fish and we are used to being on boats where the Captain tried to make sure we were in a good location. Honestly, I would never ever go back to Eastman's. They just don't care! Try AlGueron they are great! read more

I have ALWAYS had a good time fishing with Eastmans either on the big boats or one of the six packs! Captain Nate ALWAYS manages to put us on fish on the Annie B. I haven't had many slow trips with these guys. Mates are great. read more

This company gets 1 star because they had a few good mates, but otherwise they run an absolutely horrible charter service. We fished for probably 30 minutes and the rest of the time we were sick and nauseous from the 900 cigarettes cooking at the same time. Finally got in touch with some lady who apparently helps online complainers she didn't even apologize, she basically tried to make it like I did something wrong. No offer to make it up to us, no offer of refund, no nothing. Wasted time both on their boat and then on the phone with them. They take you for schoolies and even tell you that in advance. Good luck with these joker's. read more

Decided to take my nephew fishing, he's 10 and was VERY excited. Picked Eastman's on a friends recommendation and because i went with them once before a few years ago. Since I had no memories of it being bad, I thought it would be a good choice. The website states that half-day trips run SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. "8:00am-Noon, 1:30pm-5:30pm 7 days a week May-September $6 rod rental additional" They do have small print SUGGESTING calling for reservations, but don't say it is a requirement and they do not say that the schedule is subject to change or that they might arbitrarily decide to cancel all half day trips if they can sell out all boats for a full day. Which is exactly what they did. After driving over an hour, I arrived over an hour early, to be told that they weren't running any half-day trips. They didn't tell me the half-day trips were sold out...they literally canceled them because they booked all the boats for full day charters. Imagine the disappointment on my nephew's face???? They werent even apologetic. The woman was hostile and blamed me for believing their advertised schedule and not calling in adavnce to make sure it wasn't a lie. I didn't see the suggestion to call until I got into the office today and searched their website. I finally found it in the middle of a paragraph above the schedule. If they are willing to run their busuiness this way, it makes me wonder what else is going on. I'll never go back and will report this back to the friend who recommended Eastman's so he knows not to recommend them to people again. Anyone wondering about my nephew...I didn't give up and found a place in Hampton that took us out for mackeral. It ended up being a good day anyway. read more

Nothing like the occasional deep sea fishing trip. I have been on three different New England area charter boats for a total of about 12 trips out and this one is my favorite for a few reasons. Most importantly, I always catch the most fish on this boat. A couple of times my dad and I have walked away with about 15 pounds of fish fillet (cod, haddock and pollack) between the two of us. They seem to have a few good fishing spots. The boat departs at 8AM for the all day fishing trip and docks at the end of the day at 4:30. It cost between 54.00 and 61.00 dollars depending one the day you choose. I don't remember how much the fishing rod rental was but it was 7 dollars or so. There is good sized galley on the boat and a store that sells snacks and of course beers for a couple bucks each, not bad. The mates on the boat are pretty quick to help with snags and will fillet the fish for you on the ride home. Free parking, read more

Awful day to go out fishing. Many got sick and there is no room inside to sit. Money over patrons, sad!

We took an all day trip, hoping to land some haddock, cod, and pollack. Choppy waters in the morning made for a tough trip out, but after a couple of hours we were able to drop our lines and the waters (and my stomach) seemed to calm a bit. The fishing was decent for the first half of the trip, but pretty bad the second half after they moved to a new spot. Very few fish were caught on the boat during the last hour and a half. All in all, my group of four people ended up with probably a dozen keepers, and we had to throw back probably another 20 that were too small. Most of the fish caught was Pollack, but also a couple haddock and cod. Other than chips, candy, and drinks, the food sold on board was pretty bad, and they actually ran out of hot dogs before noon. Bring your own lunch. The mates were helpful enough when lines got snagged or with any other problems, though sometimes they were hard to find when you needed them. They definitely do work hard and you can easily see why they might be cold at times. Overall, this was a good trip, though I was expecting to take home quite a bit more. read more

[I've gone again and updated the list with more experience, still smells like fish] This boat smells like fish. The bathrooms are disgusting, like they have been used by fishermen and they don't flush while you are at the dock and ahh, stuff just piles up. at least the bathrooms don't smell like fish! The mates are slightly condescending to newbies, but do help out. They will fillet for you, but make it look like you could do it better yourself because they go so fast. But, while they look like they go fast, sometimes they don't get all the fish cleaned before they get back, so they must really be going slow. Capt. Mark may be able to find fish, but in 4-6 foot seas he can't keep the deck level -- he should learn how to stand in the middle like people in canoes do to keep the boat stable. and he keeps moving the boat when the fish run out in a spot. When you get back, you smell like all the fish you caught. The other fishermen will just up and talk with you; some try to sell you lures they made that are cheaper but better than walmart's lures. You get distracted by the whales that go by. I don't know why I go sometimes given these deep flaws. it might be all the fish. Oh, and the deck is cold and the cabin is too warm. I've had to help people carry off 100# of fish. Eastman lies as well, they report ranges of fish caught, and these, seriously, are optimistic. if they say the range was 10 to 20 per person, the range is more likely 5 to 20 pp. (which might still be 100# pp.) When they don't report, look carefully, they were probably skunked. And, -1 star, they will stay out late for about 30 min. if you don't catch fish. I can only hope to go back, since they are soon closing for the season. While I have never, on balance, even while chumming, regretted going, people in my house have regretted going and me going because you smell like fish on the way home. ps. if you are afraid of chumming, here are a few hints that no one will tell you all of them in one place, roughly in order of estimated importance: * take dramamine, and take a half or whole tablet the night before to get it into your system. if you are very concerned, consider a prescription version, which is available. * don't drink a lot of coffee or eat oranges or challenging food on the morning * make more than one trip, you do get used to it. * look at the horizon * sip carbonated beverages and nibble on pretzels * take a wide stance when standing up, it will help you sway less * don't get hot in the cabin, and where you can't see the horizon * don't think or talk about chumming, * try not to be sleep deprived when you go * blow your nose often to clear post-nasal drips that can cause gagging * try not to be disgusted by the smell of fish * go to the toilet before you get there * choose to go when the sea is 8-12 (inches!), can happen. Here's a list of things to consider bringing, subject to you and your needs: * rod+reel + tackle box. they will provide this, but yours is more fun and cheaper, ahh, unless you get to buy new stuff. their's is ok for your first trip for sure. They sell jigs and provide hooks and weights, but you might prefer your own. * sunglasses. also serves as eye protection. * hat, layers, boots. it's cold, but you can pop inside. * gloves for working with fish. not good ones, because they will end up smelling like fish and will get gross. some will just throw these out. * drinks, food. they have, but again, yours might be nicer. * dranomine and pretzels and ginger if you think you will get seasick. * binoculars if you want 'em. * fishcarry bucket or bin if you want. they provide bags for fillets. with ice if you are going far home, and some do. many do, actually. * fillet knife, other knife, * cloths for handling the fish (some throw these out, we wash 'em) * cell phone to confirm with them day prior. Reservations are probably not required, but, gosh, this is a very weather dependent activity. Will I go back? God willing. read more
