# Capt. Jim's Charters

> Private Cape Cod fishing charters with Capt. Jim Silvestro, a USCG-licensed captain running the PESCE — a 31-foot Downeast-style Duffy — out of Falmouth Harbor, Massachusetts.

Capt. Jim's Charters offers private, family-friendly saltwater fishing trips on Cape Cod, Vineyard Sound, Buzzards Bay, Nantucket Sound, and the waters around Martha's Vineyard. Trips target striped bass, bluefish, fluke (summer flounder), black sea bass, scup (porgy), and tautog, with offshore tuna and shark trips by arrangement. Charters are private (up to 6 passengers plus crew) — never party-boat style. Captain Jim has fished these waters for over 40 years and previously served as Commodore of his local yacht club.
