Blue Bandit Charters – Harwich
Join Captain Jim Ikovich and Blue Bandit Charters for a day of fishing you’ll never forget. Capt. Jim has been fishing around Cape Cod since he was a kid and all these years later, nothing gets his heart pumping like the bite of a big fish. He departs from Harwich Harbor but you can also start your trip in Sesuit Harbor if it’s closer to you.
The boat you’ll be fishing from is a well-maintained 29’ Seavee. This center console accommodates up to 6 anglers but the capacity is limited to 4 on Tuna & Shark trips. She’s powered by twin 300 HP Mercury engines that can reach the maximum speed of 35 knots. With navigational electronics, outriggers, a private toilet, and a live bait tank, the boat has everything you need for a successful day on the water.
Capt. Jim offers a variety of trips that target Cape Cod’s top species. But since some of the species require different fishing techniques and angler’s full attention, each trip specializes for one or two species. You can target Striped Bass, Fluke, Haddock, Seabass, Shark, and Bluefin Tuna. At the beginning of the trip, you’ll warm up with catching live bait and then head out for the main prize!
You can keep the catch within regulations and the crew will clean it for you. It’s customary to tip your first mate for this service. Your fishing equipment is fully covered and there’s no need to purchase your license. Kids are welcome too, as long as they are at least 7 years old.
Blue Bandit Charters can adjust each trip to your priorities and skill level. Just let them know in advance and get ready for a memorable day out!

Daniel MillisRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHalf day striper fishing
4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on October 15, 2021 • 2 adultsCaptain Jim put us on fish instantly and kept them coming so much we gassed with 45 minutes left on the trip. Easily the best charter guide on the cape and was an absolute pleasure. 10/10 will return
Joy Federico5.0VerifiedBest day fishing in my life!
4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on September 25, 2020 • 2 adultsWe can’t wait to book another adventure with Captain Jim! We had so much fun catching striped after striper, 15 in 4 hours all over 20lbs. We learned a lot, too. I would strongly recommend Blue Bandit Sportfishing!

Eric Polack5.0VerifiedHalf day Striper Trip June 16
4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on June 16, 2023 • 2 adultsBest fishing charter I have ever experienced. Captain Jim created a very relaxed and fun atmosphere. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain the techniques used to catch fish. He had us on fish most of the morning. Highly recommend using him. Disappointed that fishingbooker advertised the trip as 5 hours but it was only 4 hours
