Welcome to Tighten Up Charters, your Cape Cod fishing charter for exciting days on the water with Captain Matt Perachio. With 22 years of guiding experience and a lifetime spent fishing, Captain Matt is passionate about putting guests on fish while creating a fun, memorable experience for everyone aboard.

Fishing Cape Cod means access to a variety of exciting opportunities, from light-tackle striped bass and bluefish to the adrenaline-packed pursuit of bluefin tuna. Depending on the season and conditions, guests may also encounter bonito and sharks. Captain Matt follows the bite and brings the experience and local knowledge needed to make the most of your time on the water.

Your trip takes place aboard a 27' Onslow Bay built in 2019 and powered by twin 2024 Mercury 300hp engines. The boat is fully equipped with Coast Guard safety equipment, Garmin fishfinder electronics, radar, radio, a live bait well, and outriggers. With a maximum capacity of 6 guests, the boat provides a comfortable setup for families, friends, and fishing groups.

Every fishing trip includes all required gear, bait, fishing licenses, and fish cleaning, so you can focus on enjoying your day. Choose from 4-hour half-day fishing trips, kid-friendly fishing trips, full 8-hour fishing adventures, or dedicated 8-hour shark trips. Whale watching and scenic Cape Cod bay and harbor cruises are also available for guests looking to experience the area from the water.

Captain Matt started guiding after friends and fellow anglers asked him to take them fishing, and he quickly discovered how much he enjoyed seeing people happy and excited on the water. One of his most memorable moments came when a 900-pound bluefin tuna was caught remarkably close to shore while people were swimming at the beach.

Open 7 days a week, Tighten Up Charters gives you the opportunity to experience Cape Cod fishing with a knowledgeable captain who loves sharing his passion, experience, and knowledge with every guest.
