Make an adventure from your next trip to Cape Cod and go fishing with Cape Fishing Charters. Your guide for the day is Captain John, which allows you to benefit from years of local experience.

Local species include Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Flounder, Cod, Haddock, Striped Bass, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Black Seabass, and more with any luck.

You’ll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

Your vessel for the day is a 25’ Pilothouse that holds up to 6 passengers. It is a USCG-inspected vessel and carries a life raft and survival suits in addition to all other required safety equipment. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Even though the captain is licensed for up to six passengers, due to limited space on board it is more comfortable fishing 1-4 anglers. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.

Capt. John has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Cape Fishing Charters and get hooked!

4 Hour Trip (Late Morning)

What a fun charter!!

VERIFIED

Our family of 5 booked a fishing charter with Captain John and he was WONDERFUL!! He was very patient and kind and incredibly helpful with our kids. The charter before ours had ran into some issues at the end of their trip, resulting in our trip starting about a half hour late and Captain John made sure we still got that half hour out on the water. He was so knowledgeable about all things fishing and Cape Cod/Martha's Vineyard. He taught us so many facts and stories about the Cape and all the fish on it. We had a great time~ Thanks Captain John!!! Hope you can get your bigger boat! ;)

Fun Day

VERIFIED

Fishing Vineyard Sound in mid August doesnt always produce great fishing results, but when you have a Captain like John, it produces great memories. John did help us find a few bluefish and just for fun some fluke and sea bass. We were certainly on top of schools of Bonito which was our primary objective, but our inexperience attributed to quite a few missed opportunities. Regardless John stuck with us and helped produce a banner day. Highly recommend his services. Thanks Capn

Great Day out on the water with Captain John. With 3 kids on board, I told Captain John our main focus was catching fish. Captain John and put us on the fish early as soon as the action slowed down, we would move to a new spot not far away. Continuous action to keep the kids engaged. We caught several sea bass including a few keepers as well as some dogfish sharks which were super fun to reel in.
