Let Cape Cod Bay Charters take you on a fishing trip you'll never forget. Based in Barnstable, MA, Captain John welcomes anglers of all skill levels. The trips are available from the beginning of May until mid-October.

Lucky Lady ll is a Custom 37 Duffy sportfishing boat that accommodates up to 6 guests. This fishing machine is powered by a 700 HP Cummins engine and reaches the speed of 25 knots. She's fitted with all kinds of fishing equipment that will help you have a smooth hunt, such as 4 fighting chairs, a live bait tank, and outriggers.

The boat is also comfortable and even guests who are less enthusiastic about fishing can enjoy their time here. There's a private bathroom, a bedroom, a fully functional galley, and lots of cozy seating space in the shade. The deck is also wheelchair accessible.

Your targets depend on the fishing grounds you visit. If you're taking an inshore trip, you'll mainly go after Striped Bass and Bluefish. On the other hand, offshore spots can take you after Shark and Tuna. You'll mainly do trolling, spinning, and jigging. Get in touch with the captain, so he can advise what's in season and what can be arranged.

Your fishing licenses and equipment are included in the price. The captain will also clean and fillet your catch free of charge. You only need to pack food, drinks, and sunblock for your day out.

Cape Cod Bay Charters is at your service. Pick a date and join the fun!

Note: the crew does not fish for Seabass or Scup.

Awesome trip!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on August 13, 20264 adults2 children

We had a great time on this trip! Captain John and first mate Jeff got us on the boat right away and we were out fishing earlier than our start time. Jeff taught us how to “jig” and that was a fun new thing for us. We caught tons of huge fish!!! The boat was so nice, clean, and plenty of seating. The kids even went up the ladder to the captain’s perch and sat up there for a while. Highly recommend and we will try to book again next year!

Reported catch:
Striped Bass

I started fishing at the age of 6 in Florida's beaches, bridges etc. This is something I always had a passion for and wanted to become a charter captain.
