Private Fishing Charters

Join Captain John Curry for a guided inshore light tackle sport fishing adventure! Captain John is one of the premier private boat captains on Cape Cod and with over 40 years experience fishing these waters, knows where to reel 'em in! If spin fishing or fly fishing is your thing, his boat, The Grey Ghost, is the perfect way to avoid the crowds, social distance and catch dinner for a poolside grill. John's boat is located just minutes from the inn and can be booked for 5-hours or 8-hours of fun!
