Start by using Google Keyword Tool to get keyword ideas. Make sure you actually Google the keyword and see your competitors. It's best to avoid any authority websites (eg. walmart.com, about.com...) that have the exact keyword in their title tag you see in Google. The higher your domain authority, the more likely you are to rank high for competitive keywords. Check your domain authority at http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/

Once you have your keywords, download the "WordPress SEO by Yoast" plugin. Now in each of your pages/posts, you will see the option to set your "focus keyword" and it will tell you where you are using, and where you're not.

Yoast tells you a lot, but you should also be interlinking relevant pages/posts from both external websites and your own website. Also use variations of your keyword by what I call "butchering it into pieces" and using it's different individual words through your page.

Keywords are the search term which are used to find your website in search engines. For example, the kind of service you provide, you can use a keyword like “charter fishing Newburyport, MA”. I have added the location into the keyword phrase because your business is a local business and localized keywords will help you rank well in your business area. For more keywords like this you can use Google’s Keyword Tool. Here you can post one option, mention your specification like language etc. and then search for more keywords. The keyword tool will show you similar keywords with their search value, this will help you to understand how strong your competition is. You can select suitable keywords from there.

After you are done choosing your keywords, then you can start with your SEO. Along with normal SEO work you can add SEO plugins into your WordPress site to optimize your site better for search engine crawlers.

Hope I was able to answer your query.
