Our Vessel

HAVOC

Every great family catch starts with a reliable boat. Our workhorse and floating home-away-from-home is the F/V Havoc, a true New England classic.

She’s a rugged 1996 Parker 2530 Extended Cabin, and at 26 feet, she’s built tough for the local waters. The Pilot House isn't just for show—it keeps our crew dry and focused, allowing us to maintain our deep expertise even through the changing tides and cooler mornings of the North Atlantic.

Havoc is more than just specs and steel; she is the essential link in our dockside-fresh chain. She carries the weight of three generations of fishing knowledge and is the reason we can guarantee your lobster moves directly from the cold ocean floor to our hands.

Our Practices

For our family, fishing is more than a business—it's a tradition built on deep respect for the ocean. Because we are a 100% family-owned and operated business, we personally guarantee that our practices prioritize legality, sustainability, and absolute freshness.

  • We maintain strict adherence to all local and state regulations governing lobster and seafood harvesting. Our operations are fully licensed, and we diligently comply with all mandated requirements, including minimum and maximum size limits for lobster. We ensure that our entire catch is carefully sorted and measured on the boat, and any protected or egg-bearing females are immediately and safely returned to the water. This commitment is the foundation of our decades-long family trust.

  • We prioritize ocean conservation because the health of the local waters directly impacts our legacy. Unlike industrial operations, our low-impact, selective harvesting methods ensure that we are preserving the lobster population and the surrounding ecosystem for future generations. When you support us, you are supporting a family that actively works to maintain the vibrant health of our ocean home.

  • The short journey from our traps to your hands is what sets our product apart. With decades of experience, we know how to handle the catch properly to maintain premium quality. Lobsters are kept in controlled, cold environments from the moment they are hauled until your designated pickup time. This dock-to-dinner speed and careful handling ensure that the lobster and seafood you collect from NH Coastal Harvesting is the freshest, highest-quality product available.
