AliJen Charters
About
AliJen Charters is a Salem fishing charter run by Captain Dan Grimes, who takes anglers of all levels out for cod, haddock, striped bass and tuna off the Massachusetts coast. Trips focus on rod and reel fishing, and the captain’s motto is that the outing is about the adventure as much as the catch. Beyond fishing, the boat also runs whale watches, sunset cruises and scenic destination cruises.
Captain Grimes grew up on the water and has been boating and fishing since he was six, working alongside his father on a commercial fishing boat before turning to rod and reel fishing in 2014. He holds a USCG 100-ton OUPV license and is first aid and CPR certified. In 2026 the charter is giving back to veterans by offering one veteran and up to five family members a free day on the water each month from May through September.
