It was the first time on a sailboat for all 4 kids, and such a fun thing to do with them! Eric is relaxed and experienced, and he was great at accommodating their different interests from being at the helm, to sitting up front, to a few age and interest appropriate tacking chores that ensured everyone was engaged. The Point itself is a beautiful sandy beach perfect for a picnic and a swim. Info bit: The boat has a 4 ft retractable keel or centerboard ballast for anyone concerned about tipping over (which helped put the 18-yr old at ease.) I highly recommend taking kids of all ages (myself included) out on this adventure!

During the overhaul issues were found in the console with strength of the steering mount and in the fuel tank sender and pickup. They added an aluminum plate to help the steering and got the fuel system working well. Boat runs like a new boat, turn key and go. The boat was designed for a 2 smoke and the added 100lb weight of a 4 stroke caused some on the mooring problems with deck drainage. Marty suggested we replace the bilge hatch with a more waterproof one and put a little ballast in the front of the boat and that worked fine. Marty showed me a boat at the dock that was just delivered and asked how much I thought it cost. I guessed 800k and he said 1.4 million. I think the repower work on little 17 footers may be a charity for us regular folks.

We come to the Cape every summer and will definitely be returning to Ship Shops next year to do it again!

Glen took us through everything he was doing (and what else he could try) with great patience and a marvelous sense of humor. He's wiley, not just blindly following the other boats, drawing on 30 years of experience and know-how to ferret out his catch. In 4.5 hours we landed 17 & 1/2 Rockfish, keeping our allowance and releasing the rest. The 1/2 occurred on the very last catch when a Great White cut my sons fish off at the head.

He advised us that the charters need to be booked in advance as this is typically a busy season. Thank you, Jim for squeezing us in. The boys had an amazing time conquering the waves while driving out to and from our fishing location. They enjoyed casting out and catching Stripers. This was the family's highlight!

Holy smokes!! Captain Jim is among the best of them…read more We did an early season striper trip with Blue Bandit after a few days of DIY fishing on foot around the cape. Desperately in need of finding success after days of getting skunked, Captain Jim came through as the hero of the weekend. The pictures speak for themselves! Captain Jim put us on well over 20 fish in just a short morning trip despite windy conditions and picky fish. All of the stripers were 28-33", with one absolute tank clocking in at 43" Beyond putting us on piles of huge fish, Captain Jim is truly a great guy. Super smart, funny, and good-natured, you're in good hands from the moment you step onto his boat until you're back on the dock. 10/10, highly recommend Blue Bandit for all your fishing needs on Cape Cod.
