Your (sometimes) Friendly Captain

I have been fishing New England waters for over forty years. My earliest and some of the happiest memories of my childhood are fishing with my father. My dad loved fishing and passed his enthusiasm for the sport on to me. Those were truly memorable times that sparked a lifetime of adventure on the water.

I graduated from Medford Voc-Tech High School in 1980 with Electrical as my course of study. In 1983 I acquired my Journeyman License, and Master Electrician's License in 1987. I founded Silvestro Brothers Electrical Contractors, Inc. and in 1987 the business was incorporated. Silvestro Brothers is a full service electrical contracting firm serving three states. In 1989 I acquired my Coast Guard OUPV License, commonly called a six pack license, and upgraded to a 100 ton Masters License.

I am a lifelong member of the Mystic Wellington Yacht Club , where I previously held the position of Commodore, and a member of the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce.

Many years ago I first sailed into the waters of Falmouth on an offshore Yellow Fin Tuna adventure and fell in love with the area and its natural beauty. Shortly after, my wife and I purchased a home in Falmouth and plan someday to retire there.

Captain Jim's Charters have been sailing out of Falmouth for many years now and we have met some wonderful people. Many have become regular guests aboard the PESCE, and lifelong friends. The only thing better than fishing on the breathtaking waters of Cape Cod is fishing with great company. I look forward to each season with happy anticipation, when we can again be on the water, sport fishing, and making memories with new and old friends.
