FALMOUTH HARBOR · CAPE COD
Private fishing charters from Falmouth Harbor exploring Cape Cod, Vineyard Sound, Buzzards Bay, and Martha’s Vineyard waters aboard the PESCE.
The Experience
There's nothing like the peace and quiet of the ocean. The pressures of the week dissolve away as Capt. Jim steers the PESCE out of Falmouth Harbor and into Vineyard Sound.
Cast a line for stripers and blues. Drop down for fluke, black sea bass, or porgy. Or simply sit back, bring the camera, and take in the lighthouses, sea birds, and the long Cape Cod horizon.
Beginners are welcome — Capt. Jim teaches kids and first-timers every season. Regulars come back year after year to fish the spots only a local knows.
Either way, you go home with a story, dinner, and a day you’ll remember.
Trips
Private charters for up to 6 passengers. Trips fill up quickly in season — a call or text is the easiest way to book.
A relaxed morning or afternoon on the water. Perfect for kids, beginners, and anyone who wants a real Cape Cod day without committing to a full one.
More time on the water means more chances at stripers, blues, and bottom fish. A great mix of fishing and Cape Cod scenery.
Range further into Vineyard Sound, Nantucket Sound, and Buzzards Bay. The best shot at a trophy fish and a true Cape Cod fishing day.
Offshore trips available by arrangement.
Pick-ups can also be arranged at Green Pond, Woods Hole, and Martha’s Vineyard.

Singing Our Praises
Honest words from real guests who’ve fished with Capt. Jim.
One hell of a good time! Mike has never been a big one for going away and the fishing trip was perfect for him… and me too! I got everything I imagined out of my two-day vacation.
We were in Falmouth from out of town and our group of two teens and four adults decided to book a fishing charter. We contacted Captain Jim and made arrangements. We couldn't have had a better time and the Capt was knowledgeable and cleaned the fish afterwards. Would highly recommend.
We booked with Captain Jim last minute after another charter cancelled. He answered his phone right away and was very responsive. It was our first time fishing and Jim and his first mate made it super easy and enjoyable for myself, brother-in-law and two kids (10 and 13). We did a 4-hour charter out of Falmouth.
