Let Cape Cod Charter Guys make your fishing dreams a reality! Located in Bourne, Massachusetts, the crew caters to all types of fishermen "from pro to average Joe".

Step aboard our 2023 28XS Nauticstar center console deep vee off shore hull with twin 300 Yamaha engines. She comes equipped with GPS, Fishfinder, 2 live bait wells, outriggers, and all the gear you need. Up to 6 passengers can enjoy fishing in Cape Cod aboard this boat. Anglers of all ages are welcome so long as they are old enough to manage their own feet on deck!

Commanding this vessel is Captain Ross, an experienced local fisherman who is committed to providing each customer with a personalized experience. He knows the magic is in the details, so expect a phone call to discuss personal needs and expectations after booking your trip! Joining Capt. Ross is his son and First Mate Captain Jayden, who is on deck and at your service to provide smooth and safe fishing.

When fishing in Cape Cod and the surrounding area, your experience is determined by the fish and their habits. Capt. Ross will choose your starting location based on the movement of the fish, following a 24-mile stretch near the coast. Pick your target and join him in fishing for Striped Bass and Bluefish, or Black Seabass, Tautog, and Scup.

Cape Cod Charter Guys provide your fishing license and all the gear you need for a successful day. Out of respect for the crew and these waters, please remember that “What you bring to the ocean must go back to the land.” The best way to thank the first mate for his hard work is a customary 20% gratuity for all the hard work that he does for you and your family.

Captain Ross has been fishing Cape Cod and the Islands area for more than 14 years. He is a local commercial fisherman and runs fishing charters out of various locations in Cape Cod. He says, "I fell in love with fishing on the Cape Cod Canal and transitioned to commercial fishing 11 years ago." Capt.

His father describes him as a "very fishy" guy who spends as many as 16 hours a day on the water!
