Growing up in Boston and always having a love for being on the water, it was a natural to start fishing at a young age. I went on to graduate from Massachusetts Maritime Academy in 1981, and now that I am retired, I want to share my fishing experiences with others. Book this trip now and you'll love the experience.

    Great trip

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 3 adults

    Captain Skip and his first mate Don were fantastic. Very professional and experienced, we caught fish in the first couple minutes of trolling and they kept biting throughout the whole trip. Would recommend for any age or experience level, it was a great day.

    Great day on the water

    6 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    My son and I went out to for his birthday. The captain was up front about the fishing conditions prior to our trip. He worked hard all day to put us on some fish. We managed to land quite a few sea bass and a fluke. It was a great experience and we will be coming back again.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks Scott, it was a pleasure having your son Matt and yourself on the boat today. Great people create great charters and you both are great people.

    Great day of fishing

    5 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Wonderful day fishing on the Cape with my son. The captain made a great effort to make the trip memorable for my son and caught a nice striper off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. Highly recommended.

    Reported catch:
    Striped Bass
    Black Seabass
    Response from Captain

    Thank you Chris, your son Nico is a natural, not too many 7 year olds can say they landed a 31" striper by themselves.

    The Captain and First Mate were fantastic, safety was first for the crew. They know every knock and cranny where the fish were. Can’t wait for our next trip.

    We had a great time on our fishing trip with Captain Skip the Fish Bandit. We are from Kansas Coty and knew nothing about ocean fishing and Skip got us into an area where the sea bass were biting as soon as we dropped the lines. Skip is a great guy and made the trip a fun outing for all of us. We even caught a shark which is appropriate on the 50th anniversary of Jaws. I highly recommend Captain Skip the Fish Bandit for anyone looking for a fun day of fishing off Cape Cod.
