Trip Options
-

Half Day Inshore (5 Hours) $650
One half-day inshore trip is perfect for anglers of all ages and skill levels who want to experience some of the best fishing Cape Code has to offer. We’ll explore productive local waters such as Nantucket Sound, Vineyard Sound, Buzzards Bay, and Cape Cod Bay, targeting a variety of inshore favorites depending on the season. Expect action with species like black sea bass, scup, striped bass, bluefish, fluke, and tautog.
-

Full Day Inshore (8 Hours) $950
If you’re ready to spend a full day on the water, our 8-hour inshore trip is the way to go. With more time, we can explore some of Cape Cod’s most productive fishing grounds, including Race Point, Norman’s Island, and Browns Ledge, along with the sounds and bays. These trips give us the chance to chase the same inshore favorites - black sea bass, bluefish, fluke, tautog - but with more time to move around, follow the bite, and load up the cooler. This is a great option for anglers who want to maximize their fishing time, try different spots, and bring home plenty of fresh fish.
-

Full day Offshore (10 Hours) $1,250
For anglers looking for big-game excitement, our offshore trip is the ultimate Cape Cod fishing adventure. On this 10-hour trip, we’ll head to famous grounds such as the offshore wind farms, south of Martha’s Vineyard, east of Nantucket, and Stellwagen Bank in search of some of the ocean’s most powerful fish. Depending on the season, we’ll target tuna, sharks, haddock, and pollock — giving you the chance to battle hard-fighting pelagics or fill the cooler with delicious bottom fish.
-

Extended Day Offshore (12 Hours) $1,500
If you want the ultimate Cape Cod fishing experience, our extended offshore trip gives you a full 12 hours on the water. With extra time to run farther and fish longer, we can cover more ground at hotspots like the offshore wind farms, south of Martha’s Vineyard, east of Nantucket, and Stellwagen Bank. This trip targets the same offshore species — tuna, sharks, haddock, and pollock — but the added hours mean more opportunities to chase the bite, switch spots, and battle multiple fish. It’s the perfect choice for anglers who want the best chance at a trophy catch or to fully load the cooler.
