Fish Bandit specializes in introducing their clients to the wonderful angling opportunities in Massachusetts. Join Captain Skip Bandini aboard his fishing machine and see what Vineyard Sound fishing is all about.

Capt. Skip operates a 255DV Steiger Craft Pilot House, fresh on the water in 2023. Thanks to its 300 HP Mercury V8 Verado engine, it can cruise at a top speed of 45 knots to get you to the fishing grounds quickly and safely.

Take your fishing buddies with you or introduce your kids to fishing. Bring your family, friends, or colleagues and enjoy a fun day out on the water. Target Stripers, Bluefish, Fluke, and Black Seabass and other species that call those waters home.

Fish Bandit will provide you with rods, reels, tackle, lures, bottled water, and fishing licenses. Complimentary fish cleaning service is available at the end of the trip.

Your expertise doesn't matter – Capt. Skip caters to anglers of all skill levels. Just grab something to eat and hop on board!

    Great trip

    5 Hour Trip (PM) on August 20, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Skip and his first mate Don were fantastic. Very professional and experienced, we caught fish in the first couple minutes of trolling and they kept biting throughout the whole trip. Would recommend for any age or experience level, it was a great day.

    Fishtastic Trip!!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 28, 2025 • 3 adults

    We had a great time on our fishing trip with Captain Skip the Fish Bandit. We are from Kansas Coty and knew nothing about ocean fishing and Skip got us into an area where the sea bass were biting as soon as we dropped the lines. Skip is a great guy and made the trip a fun outing for all of us. We even caught a shark which is appropriate on the 50th anniversary of Jaws. I highly recommend Captain Skip the Fish Bandit for anyone looking for a fun day of fishing off Cape Cod.

    Half day trip

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 20, 2023 • 4 adults

    Didn’t waste any time getting us out, tried his best to help us catch the most fish - and it was super fun! The captain is unique and knows what he’s doing and really helps you learn super quickly. I’ve been on a few charters, and haven’t seen a captain more engaged in helping us find the perfect spot to fish. The captain also has a mate who comes with him sometimes, and he is a super friendly guy who ended up saving our fish from flying off the boat 😄 We caught around 30 fish (even some sharks) and took home one fluke for dinner. Super great time, would come back again.

    4hr Blue fish trip with Skip and Donny

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 7, 2023 • 3 adults

    Booked a trip for the 7th July looking to catch Blue Fish and the trip was awesome. Skip and Donny were great guys who know their stuff. After a slow start in the fog Skip trusted his instincts and got us to a great spot where we hooking into big blues before we knew it. Great trip and thoroughly recommend these guys. If we go again next year will certainly be looking to go with these guys.

Growing up in Boston and always having a love for being on the water, it was a natural to start fishing at a young age. I went on to graduate from Massachusetts Maritime Academy in 1981, and now that I am retired, I want to share my fishing experiences with others. Book this trip now and you'll love the experience.
