 26 MacMillan Pier, Provincetown, MA 02657, United States

FV Odysea welcomes you for a fun-packed day of fishing out of Provincetown, Massachusetts! Come aboard the famous FV Odysea you recently had the opportunity to see on National Geographic’s amazing "Wicked Tuna" show and have a great time fishing the area’s bountiful inshore and offshore grounds. You and Captain Ralph Wilkins will target any species in season, be it big or small. Combine your fishing trip with a boat ride or seal tour and have a wonderful time fishing in Massachusetts!

Your boat for the day is a restored 32’ BHM Downeast, with room for up to 6 anglers. It runs on a 375 HP Caterpillar 3208 engine and uses comprehensive navigation electronics needed for a safe and efficient trip to the fish. There’s a shower, bed, as well as a portable toilet you can use. The boat also features downriggers, a livewell, and an ice-box.

You and the captain will go after Bluefin Tuna, Spanish Mackerel, Herring, Striped Bass, as well as Bluefish. You’ll attract them by deep sea fishing, trolling, jigging, and even kite fishing. You can keep the fish you catch and take it home. Kids are welcome to come aboard, just tell the captain how many will be coming so he can prepare enough safety jackets.

Capt. Ralph provides you with all the rods for the trip, you may bring your reels and terminal tackle as well.  Also, bring something to eat and drink so you stay fit during the trip. The captain also takes care of fishing licenses. Spend a day fishing with FV Odysea and create lovely memories on the water!

Our trips are priced for 4 guests and we are licensed for 6. Additional person $50 per trip for half day trip, $100 for the entire day.

Note: available For sundown cruises, fishing is an option during it .
It’s more of a slow boat ride close to dock around the lighthouses and seal colonies, great for conversations contact for details . Fishing for whatever is permitted

Half Day fishingTrip – Inshore (PM) on August 16, 2024

We had an absolutely amazing time aboard the Odysea with Captain Ralph. He was very helpful and patient with our minimally experienced family. My 13 year old daughter had an absolutely fantastic time and reeled in 3 big bluefish with the help of her dad and the direction of Captain Ralph. The rest of us caught fish as well. He was very pleasant and made sure we had a great experience. We will be back for another trip next time we are in Cape Cod!

We had a great time going out on our first fishing excursion from the Cape. Captain Ralph is a seasoned veteran who knows his stuff! There may not have been particularly high bite action on this jaunt, but each of my boys reeled in their first ever stripers, so that was worth it. And viewing some seals and whales was a nice bonus as well.

Late afternoon fishin / Cruise on June 30, 2024

Captain Ralph is very responsible and called in early to inform us of the suboptimal weather. We decided to go regardless as we couldn't do other dates. It was a bit windy but Ralph managed well and we managed to fish a 31-inch stripe bass on the second try. The ship is also well equipped and looks new. Would recommend!

Captain Ralph is a great guy, well experienced, and knows how to catch a fish. Glad we decided on him to take us out. The kids had fun and each of them caught a fish. I had one on the line and it got away. Cape Cod is a beautiful area to fish. You can't go wrong with Captain Ralph!

Half Day fishingTrip – Inshore (AM) on June 24, 2024

Ralph was super entertaining and cared for our kids like they were his own. Even though our daughter demanded her throwing back her two catches. He was understanding and kind about it. Overall our experience purely positive. He even augmented our start time based on the winds.
