Centrally located in Cape Cod Bay, you’ll be close to the best fishing grounds around. This means more time fishing and less time riding. Inshore trips will have your lines in the water just 20 minutes after leaving the dock. Even deep sea charters don’t usually go more than 25 miles out.

When fishing inshore, your primary target species will be Striped Bass and Bluefish. Head out on a full-day trip and you will either be chasing Bluefin Tuna or wrestling with monster Sharks. Makos, Threshers, Blues, and Porbeagles all hit incredible sizes in these legendary waters.

Capt. Jeff has been running charters on Cape Cod for over 35 years. He’s fished from Maine to Mexico, giving him the skills to adapt to any situation onboard. On top of this, he’s an EMT firefighter, so you can be sure that safety is a priority onboard.
