Showtime Sportfishing
Showtime Sportfishing
Embark on an unforgettable fishing expedition aboard the vessel “Showtime,” a pristine 26-foot Regulator. Departing from picturesque Sesuit Harbor in East Dennis, Massachusetts, our expert crew will guide you through the waters of Cape Cod Bay, renowned for its diverse marine life and exceptional fishing opportunities. Make your fishing dreams a reality with a perfect fishing experience. Book your adventure today and prepare for an amazing fishing excursion!
Safety is our top priority, and our crew ensures this safe experience with all the necessary and up-to-date safety equipment. Our more nimble profile allows for a much faster cruise and the ability to cover much more ground. Powered by brand new 2025 twin Yamaha 200 horsepower engines, a typical cruising speed is around 25 knots. The boat is equipped with comfortable forward seating as well as a below-deck toilet and lots of dry storage. A drop-down isinglass enclosure allows for protection against the elements on our less-than-perfect weather days. This, combined with many other comforts, provides the perfect baseline for an unforgettable adventure!
We offer a wide variety of fishing opportunities to cater to every angler’s preferences and interests. Whether you are a first-timer or an avid angler, we have something for everyone! With primary target species including Flounder, Striped Bass, Bluefish, or the ever infamous Bluefin Tuna, the opportunity for the fish of a lifetime is endless! All gear and bait are provided for use during the trip free of charge. Our crew will also filet and bag any fish kept during the trip. These trips are set at a baseline, if more time is wanted during a trip and is available, an added $75 an hour is the standard fee. Additional hours are not a guarantee as we may have multiple trips in one day. The standard tip for the mate is a minimum of 15-20 percent of the trip. Feel free to reach out with any questions, this trip is very customizable to YOUR standards!

Worth the trip from NZ to Cape Cod for Stripers!
Thanks Andrew, we had a great time fishing with you! You were a great host, easy to chat to, informative about the area and surroundings and knowledgable about how and where to find the fish and how to catch them! The only downside was that Fishing Booker provided inaccurate information, leading up to the charter, about how to make the final payment. This caused an awkward moment when the only method I had was a credit card (which I had been told in writing, by Fishing Booker, that was acceptable) and Andrew couldn't process the payment that way. The Fishing Booker app provided no means that we could find to complete the payment process directly through them, and they did not answer the phone when we tried to contact them. We caught 5 beautiful Striped Bass to take away with us, let 2 undersized ones go free and a massive oversized one, also let go!!! Was an awesome experience. Thanks again Andrew!!

Excellent experience!
I booked a charter midweek after an unexpected change in vacation plans. One of the main reasons I booked with Captain Andrew was all his available trips were viewable completely on the site, allowing me to pick what worked best for my family and book everything online without additional phone calls or messages; his basically unanimous 5 star reviews sealed the deal. Before the trip, Andrew was resposive to messaging and finding his slip with the provided directions was easy. I brought my 12 and 9 year old sons on the trip and Andrew was amazing with both of them. He taught them what they needed to know about striper fishing, was eager to explain all the boat and fishing technology, and even encouraged me to pair my phone with the boat's speakers to play music during the trip, which the kids loved while cruising between fishing spots. We had a great day on the water with 3 keepers in addition to reeling in multiple others. We were having such a good time, I asked Andrew if we could extend the tour by an hour. The wind kicked up towards the end and we definitely got wet from the chop, but honestly the kids loved the bumpy ride and we never once felt unsafe. Captain Andrew is wise beyond his years, easy to talk to, great with kids, a knowledgeable fisherman, and honestly just a good person. I cannot recommend this charter enough and our friends already booked a tour for next week based upon our experience. We will definitely look him up again during our next Cape vacation.

Awesome fishing trip
We had a blast today with Showtime and Captain Andrew! We landed 2 stripers within 5-10 minutes of starting fishing, (under 30 mins into the trip) and every single jigging cast produced and landed a striped bass, including a 36” fish which was too big to keep. He got us right on the fish immediately. He was very accommodating for flounder fishing as well, and also got us right to them within 5-10 mins of moving from bass. We fished flounder for the last hour or so of our trip, and had 11 keepers. I would highly recommend this charter to anyone! We will be back with Andrew next year!

Awesome experience with the kids
Captain Andrew was knowledgeable and put us on the fish right away. We had 4 little ones with us and he made the experience for them both exciting and memorable. He was amazing with the kids and us. We had our limit in a little over a hour and were very impressed with him He was not only professional, he made sure our safety and well being were most important. He kept us engaged and showed the kids all the electronics and taught us his way of fishing. I have charted many times before and he is top of my list! I will be making sure I book with him next trip!

Captain Andrew is the best!
Captain Andrew was really awesome. He was very professional from the start. He communicated the weather forecast and what to bring/wear the day before our trip so we had an idea of what to expect. You can tell he had a lot of pride by how well he takes care of his boat and equipment—very clean and organized. He is so passionate about fishing—he had our family wanting to go back for more. He also shared his simple fish recipe which we tried—best fish we’ve had!
