Vineyard Boat Charters with Capt. John Hobby
Vineyard Boat Charters is a bottom fishing charter that focuses on a family fishing experience that no other charter on the island does. I will take you on a short run out of the Tashmoo Harbor and down the north shore of the Vineyard to some of my favorite bottom fishing spots. We will drift and bottom fish as we float across good structure below that is home to Black Sea Bass, Scup, Fluke, Black Fish, Dog Fish, Sea Robbins, and more.
My goal is to show you a great time, educate you in the beauty and history of the Vineyard Sound and the fish that call it home. I love to see kids with big smiles on their faces when they see what they reel in. This is really about family having a nice time, getting a chance to fish, and just a great part of their vacation. Great opportunity for photos and memories.
I normally do morning trips, but I can do afternoon or sunset if those times are better. Parents sometimes like the sunsets, good for that nice family photo. Two hours is really all you need. There is a lot of action in the two hours, and it seems everyone gets their fill in that time period.
My base price is for 4 anglers, two hours. I am USCG licensed up to 6 anglers at an additional cost per added angler. Extra fishing time is possible at an additional hourly rate.
I have all the safety gear you need but if you wish to bring yours, you are welcome as long as it meets USCG regulations.
My boat has forward V berth with two bunks, a toilet (head) and running water for washing hands. There is seating to accommodate up to 6 anglers.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Gratuities are greatly appreciated. As both captain and first mate, I handle every aspect of your trip. While not required, guests usually leave 15-20%.
Now time to get out on the water and have some fun!

Jamila Williams5.0認証済みAn Unforgettable Day on the Water!
2時間釣りツアー – 家族向け（午前または午後） July 9, 2026に • 4 大人We are more than thrilled with our experience with Captain John Hobby and Vineyard Boat Charters! From start to finish, the entire trip was absolutely incredible. Captain John was fantastic—he is highly experienced, gave us a ton of great information about the local waters, and kept us feeling safe and secure the entire time. On top of that, he was incredibly encouraging throughout the trip, which made the experience even better for everyone on board. We had so much fun and even caught a fish large enough to keep! We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to enjoy the seas, get some fishing in, and have fun with each other and the Captain. We will definitely make this a recurring experience next time we are on the Vineyard!
Justin Johnson5.0認証済みOutstanding Fishing Trip!
2時間釣りツアー – 家族向け（午前または午後） June 17, 2026に • 4 大人 • 2 childrenI can’t recommend Captain John enough! He was incredibly patient and helpful, making sure everyone had a great time from start to finish. His communication before the trip was excellent and he made sure the entire experience was easy and stress-free. He is experienced and knows where to find the fish - we caught several black sea bass and the highlight was my son catching a cape shark! He took time to help everyone aboard, answered all our questions, and made sure my son and niece had an unforgettable experience. We had an awesome day on the water and I would absolutely book with Captain John again!

2時間釣りツアー – 家族向け（午前または午後） August 18, 2026に • 5 大人 • 2 childrenCaptain John was fantastic! He was personable, hilarious, and absolutely wonderful with the kids. He made everyone feel comfortable, kept the energy high, and knew exactly what he was doing. And the fishing? Ridiculous. We caught an insane amount of fish! This was exactly the experience we were hoping for—a great captain, great time, happy kids, and a boat full of fish. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Highly recommend Captain John! 🎣
Catherine Merritt5.0認証済みA new favorite MV tradition!
2時間釣りツアー – 家族向け（午前または午後） August 6, 2026に • 2 大人Can’t say enough great things about fishing with Capt. John. My 13yo son loves fishing and John was terrific with him, let my son weigh in on places to fish from and they had a great banter and rapport the entire fishing trip. John’s boat was very comfortable and it was a lovely morning and will be a new addition to our future MV lists of things to do.
Nick Digiovanni5.0認証済みGreat for families
2時間釣りツアー – 家族向け（午前または午後） August 7, 2026に • 5 大人 • 1 childWe booked a trip for our family of 5 and would highly recommend John. It was the perfect day to be on the water and John was super helpful and great with our kids (17,15&9) Everyone was able to reel in multiple fish and even one big enough to keep. John took care of everything and we were able to just enjoy our time together fishing.

2時間釣りツアー – 家族向け（午前または午後） July 11, 2026に • 3 大人 • 1 childCaptain John put us on the fish right away and the action was nonstop for the entire time! We caught five different species and brought home several keepers! There were two first time ocean fishers on the trip and Captain John was patient while also making sure they were successful. Will be booking again next year!
