Background
Operating a 25' Latitude Tournament Boats Center console, Capt. Shaun ensures a comfortable fishing experience in the waters of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, and beyond. when on my own I am a fly rod angler however my clients encompass a wide range if techniques such a spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, fy fishing, and other techniques. Depending in the season or trip preference you'll catch Striped Bass, Bluefish, Black Sea Bass, and other inshore bottom fish or offshore for Bluefin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Sharks, Cod & Haddock. I grew up as a fly and light tackle trout and warm water angler from the Hudson Valley Catskills area of upstate New York before trading my 5wt for a 9wt and transitioning to salt in 2000. Started with a brief five year stint exploring the rips, rock piles, and sand bars in and around Boston Harbor, Rhode Island, North and South Shores, and Cape Cod while based out of Winthrop MA. I served as mate and co-captain with Riptide Charters from 2003 to 2019 fishing the Cape and Islands inshore, offshore and everything in between from Scup and Squid to Tuna, Mahi, and Marlin. I have contributed content, authored, or assisted with numerous fishing and boating TV, print, and digital media publications as well as engagements at some of the regions more popular seminar series, clubs, and retail venues. A marine electronics industry veteran and USCG Master, I have guided multiple Massachusetts state catch and release pin fish.

Fly fishing and all mano of light tackle angling. Offshore jigging and popping or trolling.

Great captain, great boat

VERIFIED   NEW  Evening Spring Squid on May 10, 2025
Shaun was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The boat was spotless, and equipped with the nicest Garmin I’ve ever seen....
