Black Sea Bass & Fluke Fishing with Blue Bandit Charter

From the rocky shores of Cape Cod to the productive waters stretching from Nantucket to Stellwagen Bank, Blue Bandit Fishing Charter offers an immersive 8-hour fishing journey that puts anglers face-to-face with some of the region’s most coveted saltwater species. Operating out of Brewster, Massachusetts, this charter caters to fishers of all skill levels looking for a hands-on experience amid one of New England’s richest marine environments.

The waters off the Cape are renowned for their unique underwater geography. The continental shelf drops sharply into deep basins here, creating ideal habitats for Black Sea Bass—a favorite among local anglers—and summer flounder (fluke), prized for their size and fight. On any given trip, expect to navigate from rocky ledges near Nantucket’s shore to the swirling feeding grounds around Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, known for its strong currents and abundant baitfish.

Blue Bandit Fishing Charter elevates the traditional fishing outing with a personal touch. With a cap at six passengers, the small-boat atmosphere ensures that each guest receives attentive guidance from experienced crew members who know these waters intimately. Whether your goal is to land winter-stripe sea bass, elusive fluke, or simply enjoy the views of the Cape’s coastal landmarks, the charter adjusts to your target species and skill set.

Beyond the fish, the scenery here is striking. Seabirds wheel overhead, seals may pop up nearby, and on clear days, the outlines of distant Nantucket and Provincetown are visible against the horizon. This blend of demanding angling and coastal character makes Blue Bandit an especially relevant part of the Cape's outdoor adventure offerings.

Whether you’re a local angler seeking a productive day offshore or a visitor hoping to connect with Massachusetts’ maritime heritage, Blue Bandit Fishing Charter offers a grounded, exhilarating saltwater experience that blends natural history, sport, and camaraderie on the waves.
