Captain Vinny is a USCG-licensed captain, lifelong angler, and one of those fishermen who has spent enough time on the water to truly understand the rhythms of Boston Harbor, the North Shore, and Cape Cod. Having fished these waters since childhood, he's developed an intimate understanding of seasonal migrations, tide movements, bait patterns, and the techniques needed to consistently find fish throughout the year.
While he specializes in targeting Striped Bass and Bluefish throughout the inshore season, Captain Vinny is equally passionate about pursuing False Albacore around Cape Cod and chasing Bluefin Tuna offshore when conditions allow. His ability to adapt to changing conditions and put anglers in the right place at the right time is a product of countless days spent learning these fisheries.
Whether you're a complete beginner, bringing the family out for a day on the water, or an experienced angler looking to refine your technique, Captain Vinny takes a hands-on approach to every trip. He enjoys teaching, sharing knowledge, and helping guests become better anglers while creating an enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere on board.
