Boat & Crew

The Boat

The Nauset is a new 27 foot Albemarle Sportfisherman.  Families appreciate the below deck private walk in bathroom.  Older folks are restful seated in the fully enclosed weatherproof salon.  This is a distinct advantage over Center Console charter boats exposed to afternoon sun and inclement weather. These important features make the Nauset the most comfortable charter boat departing from the Pamet Harbor, Truro.  Our collapsible deck chairs round out the comfortable seating options when trolling for bass or tuna.  The Nauset has the latest electronics, with the addition of side-scan sonar. Her new power plant is a Yanmar Turbo Diesel.  This economical engine allows us to travel far and wide at a speed that nearly matches the smaller center console charter boats.

 

The Captain

Captain Joe's Old BoatYour Captain, Joe Francis is a native Cape Codder. He grew up in nearby Wellfleet, helping his dad work the family’s oyster grant.  As a teenager,  Joe bought his first commercial boat and plied the waters of Cape Cod bay clamming. After serving our country proudly in the Navy,  Joe returned to commercial fishing.  He captained  his own dragger from the port of New Bedford,  where he fished the outer Cape waters for cod and flounder.  As a self taught mechanic, Joe keeps the Nauset in tip-top shape. After 40 years of commercial fishing, Joe has developed a keen 6th sense of where the fish might be.  This experience sets him apart from most other charter captains.  If there are fish around, Joe will find them!
