Massachusetts Fishing License

Do I need a fishing license for charter fishing off Cape Cod?

According to Massachusetts law, you must have a saltwater fishing license even if you are fishing in the ocean. Luckily, Massachusetts has some of the most affordable licenses out there.

Cost

Saltwater Fishing Permit (ages 16 - 59): $10
Saltwater Fishing Permit (60+): FREE, but you still need to file for a license.

There is no difference in cost for residents or non-residents. Additionally, if you already have a fishing license for Connecticut, New Hampshire, or Rhode Island, you don't need a Massachusetts license.
