Cape Cod Bay Massachusetts fishing never looked so good than with Grey Dolphin Sportfishing Charters! Join Captain John Ciccariello and his first mate on their angling adventures in Cape Cod Bay and find out just how exciting inshore fishing can be.
Your expedition will begin on a 31’ Downeast boat prepped and ready to accommodate up to 6 persons and take them to the best available locations for the trip. She’s outfitted with a 370 HP Cummins Diesel engine that makes her reliable and safe in different weather conditions. On the boat, you’ll find rods, reels, and tackle you need on the trip, so you don’t have to lug around your own gear. If you’d like to fly fish, you can do so, up to 2 flyrodders can fish at the same time, must bring your own gear.
The boat also has a private toilet, for your comfort, and is decked out with excellent navigational and fish finding equipment, which allows you to be on the fish at times within 30 minutes. If you hook colossal Striper, you’ll have a fighting chair to help you reel it in. You can retain all legal size fish within legal limits. After you come back to land, Capt. John and his first mate will gladly clean and fillet your catch.
You have plenty of trips to choose from, depending on how much time you want to spend on the water and chase after Striped Bass, the superstar of the local waters. This fish is known for giving a proper fight and testing both your line and skills, so good fun while battling them is guaranteed.
Every step of the way, you will have a trusty first mate by your side. He’s always at your disposal and will gladly help you with whatever you might need. Tricks and tips for catching the biggest fish, as well as advice and stories, are something you can always count on when on board.
The captain and his first mate love having kids on the boat, so bring them with you, they’ll have a great time too. Grey Dolphin Sportfishing Charters welcomes you aboard to explore the abundance of Cape Cod Bay.

STRIPERS/BLUEFISH 4 Hour (AM)
This was our 2nd time using Captain John's charter, and it was again a great experience, and we will certainly book again next year. The sun was shining, the waters were calm, and the fish were biting! We caught 16 stripers with little downtime in between. We kept the five legal ones, which they cleaned and packaged well for us. The crew and captain were fantastic at teaching and directing us, ensuring we were safe while having fun and catching fish humanely. The captain made sure we were in areas with fish, while Chase, the 1st mate, showed us the ropes, was social and kind. I highly recommend booking a trip on Captain John's charter!

STRIPERS/BLUEFISH 4 Hour (AM)
My son and I took an AM charter and had a blast. We caught a dozen or so stripers of all sizes and landed some big bluefish also. Having been on a few different smaller charters out of this area, having a larger boat with an inside cabin and bathroom was really nice to have. Captain John and Charlie were awesome, look forward to using them again in the future!

5 Hour Trip – Striper/Bluefish (AM)
We Caught So Many Stripers Today on the Grey Dolphin! Such a great day of fishing! I highly recommend Grey Dolphin Sport Fishing Charters! The boat was big, comfortable & well equipped And the crew was excellent! They were friendly, put us right on the fish and were wicked helpful in showing us what to do. The mate was so good with my 8yr old son, and I can’t thank him enough for helping us hook Striper after Striper! Thank you Grey Dolphin Charters for the life long memories of such a great day of fishing!

We had Captain John and Chase as our first mate and what a great trip! We went out on the 7am trip and within minutes hooked a striper, and then another one. 15 fish total for our 4 hour fishing trip. chase was a blast to hang out with and both John & Chase were very knowledgable of where to go for fish and gave us awesome pointers. Had a few keepers and first mate filleted and bagged them for us. We can’t wait to do it again next year! Thank you Grey Dolphin!

5 Hour Trip – Striper/Bluefish (PM)
Great day on the water with the family. Son claimed, “Top 30 best days of my life.” Caught our limit of Striped Bass, saw dolphins, and enjoyed amazing views. First mate Charlie was great and a natural on the boat. Made sure everyone was taken care of and super accommodating. Perfect day!
