The offshore waters of Maine hold several species of sharks.  Blue sharks are the most common.  But fear not, threshers, porbeagles and the acrobatic mako shark are all within the reach of the Kristin K in the offshore waters of Maine. Blue sharks saturate the waters in the later months of summer.  Blue sharks average 7-12 feet in length and can weigh over 100 pounds. Mako sharks are extremely fun to catch.  It is not uncommon for mako sharks to soar up to 25 feet in the air several times during the battle. The Kristin K takes great pride in it's participation with the NMFS tagging program.  We release 99% of all the sharks caught on the boat.  The NMFS tagging program helps biologists track the habits of these magnificent creatures.  The crew of the Kristin K has had sharks recovered off the coast of South America, Spain and the Canary Islands.  We would look forward to helping you land your next shark this season,  please view our Pricing page for more information..
