Charter Information

Your Day on the Water...

 

The pristine waters surrounding Cape Cod are calling you for an adventure that you will always remember and keep you coming back year after year.  Within minutes of the dock you will experience the unforgettable fishing that Cape Cod and the Islands are known for.  The warm, shallow waters of Nantucket Sound and Martha’s Vineyard are a feeding station for multitudes of fish heading north from their winter homes.  Fly rods and light spinning tackle are the weapons of choice for stripers and blues fish in the spring, as well as for false albacore and atlantic bonito in the late summer and fall.  We will also explore the deeper side of the Cape.  The cooler blue-green water of Cape Cod Bay offers a unique fishing experience. From the Canal to the tip of Provincetown and Stellwagen Bank, is the home to blue fin tuna and a number of different species of shark.  Hooking up to either of these bruisers with a fly rod will challenge even the most experienced angler. Conventional and spinning gear is also available for these fish for those of you who are fly rod challenged.  Fantastic ground fishing  for the the legendary cod as well as haddock and fluke swim in these waters and are always willing to take a bait and become that nights table fare.  So, come and spend a glorious day with Captain Jim and Cape and Islands Charters, you'll be glad you did.

About the Boat...

 

Fish truly have reason to fear you. With the 2103 Center Console, you literally have it all - a balanced ride, ample room and plenty of fishing features. A broad, 8'6" beam creates a wide-open cockpit for easy maneuvering plus plenty of room for the necessities: rod racks, a bait station with large baitwell, and a console with flush-mount electronics. The THS™ hull design handles big-water swells with ease. Its composite structural grid delivers exceptional strength. When you need to get wet, a transom door and an integrated transom platform provide easy access to and from the water.

Key features of the Trophy 2130 are:

  • With full-length rod storage, 30-gallon lighted VORTEX baitwell system, sink, large fish cooler and raw water washdown, the 2103 was designed for the serious fisherman.
  • This boat is built for offshore use with fiberglass stringers, large volume deck-drainage capacity, sealed doors and hatches, and generous freeboard.
  • The deep V hull and aggressive bow flare provide an unequaled, soft, dry and safe ride - even in rough conditions.
  • "Family friendly" with a built-in stainless swim ladder, walk-through door with "slam" latch, and an enclosed head.

When the going gets wet, boaters appreciate the wide deck rails and crowned walking surfaces sporting an "aggressive grip" non-skid surface.
