Half-Day Game Fishing Adventure for 4 Guests
Donated by Peter & Pamela Barbey
Cast off for the angling adventure of a lifetime with this extraordinary half-day fishing charter for four, hosted aboard Peter Barbey’s custom-built Maine fishing vessel—the newly refitted 34-foot Calvin Beal, Whipjack. From the moment you step aboard, you’ll feel the pulse of Cape Cod’s legendary fishing grounds and the promise of unforgettable action waiting beneath the waves.
This is more than just a fishing charter—it’s a saltwater safari, an adrenaline-pumping pursuit of game fish, and a chance to craft incredible memories with friends or family.
Bid high and secure your place on the Whipjack—because the only thing bigger than the fish you’ll catch are the stories you’ll tell afterward.
This isn’t your average day on the water—it’s a fully customized expedition designed around your passion. You and your guests will collaborate with seasoned Captain Will Ashworth, a local fishing virtuoso whose expertise and stories are as compelling as the fish he’ll help you pursue. Whether you’re a hardcore angler looking to test your mettle or simply eager for an exhilarating day in stunning surroundings, this trip promises thrills and memories in equal measure.
Set your sights on one of three incredible adventures:
- Hunt monster stripers off the swirling rips of Monomoy, where explosive hits and adrenaline-fueled battles await.
- Experience the savage fight of Bluefish at Horseshoe Shoals, renowned for their powerful runs and thrilling surface action.
- Drop deep for a mixed bag of delicious Sea Bass, feisty Tautog, and plentiful Scup at the famed Fishing Grounds, perfect for those craving variety and a tasty haul.
The Whipjack is an angler’s dream—fast, stable, and outfitted with state-of-the-art electronics and premium tackle. Every detail has been carefully curated to deliver comfort, efficiency, and top-tier fishing performance. Beyond the rods and reels, the boat offers a spectacular vantage point for soaking in the rugged beauty of Cape Cod’s coastline. From crisp salt breezes and the sight of seabirds wheeling overhead, to moments of pure serenity under a sunlit sky, the setting is as magnificent as the action itself.
Best of all, you’ll fish alongside a captain whose knowledge transforms a great day of fishing into an extraordinary one. Captain Will’s keen eye for reading the water, understanding fish behavior, and adjusting techniques ensures your group has the best possible chance to hook into true trophies. Along the way, enjoy lively stories, insider tips, and fascinating insights that bring the local waters to life.
