Embark on an adventure with Osprey Sportfishing! The team has had many happy fishermen over the past 33 years and the new season is no different! Capt. Don Viprino loves teaching novices to fish, especially children, so do not let the lack of experience stop you from having a great time!
Capt. Don invites you to join him on The Osprey, a 35' Bruno and Stillman boat. She's powered by a strong 375 HP Caterpillar engine and accommodates up to 6 guests. You will catch fish in comfort and style with the Osprey's fully enclosed cabin for those early and late season trips. She also features a private toilet, a bed, and a flybridge.
If it's fillets for the dinner table you seek, go out in late April or early May for Haddock. Head out a bit later in the season to enjoy some light tackle action for Striped Bass and Bluefish. Jigging and trolling for Striped Bass is Capt. Don's specialty and these trips are bound to be successful. For those diehard anglers who are up for a challenge, join later in the season chasing Bluefin Tuna! You'll go up to 40 miles offshore for this 'top shelf' fish.
Your trip will include everything you need to make a great catch possible, from rods and reels to bait, lures, and even a complimentary fish cleaning service at the end of the trip. You only need to bring your snacks and drinks.
Rock Harbor is a tidal harbor. This means that the exact time of departure needs to be scheduled according to the tides. Contact Capt. Don to schedule your exact trip time.
Osprey Sportfishing is looking forward to a new year of bent rods and great catches. Book your charters now for best availability out of one of the Cape's most beautiful destinations, Rock Harbor in Orleans!

Don and Cam were excellent. They took us out into the bay and found several really great spots for us to catch. We caught over 20 fish! They were both really supportive to both more experienced fishermen and total beginners. Would recommend, hope to book them again the next time we’re on the Cape!
Six members of our family (4 adults and 2 children) had a wonderful trip on the Osprey with its father/son crew. Before leaving, they took the time to learn each of our names. We left the dock on time and had a good interactive discussion while traveling to the fishing spots. The fishing tackle was all set up in advance and the 1st mate did a great job of keeping things moving. Again, very efficient. I would highly recommend The Osprey and crew for your next fishing trip. We surely will go with them again.
We had an amazing experience and never stopped smiling and laughing. Great fishing. Don and Nick made us feel like pros even my 2 year old granddaughter!
Don and his son work hard to get us on fish. We limited out and I will be coming back in September for a tuna trip

Your captain
Captain Don is Coast Guard licensed guide. He has been working on the Osprey since he was 10 as the first mate and fill in captain. He purchased the boat from Capt. Bob in 2000. Many of Capt. Bob's original customers are still fishing with him today. Capt. Don loves taking the kids out fishing, because they enjoy it more than anybody else and are usually even better than their dads.
