MV’s Most Celebrated Fishing Boat Offers a One-of-a-Kind Ocean Fishing Experience Led By a Seasoned Captain and Skilled Crew
by Diane Alter
The big grins and wide eyes of returning passengers from a trip aboard “The SKIPPER” reveal it all. Indeed, the satisfied faces and fist bumps ensure that great fish stories will be told and retold for years to come.
A Martha’s Vineyard institution for more than three decades, Captain John Potter’s “The SKIPPER” is docked at slip No. 74 at the Oak Bluff Harbor. It is always easy to find–just look for a line of eager guests waiting for the next trip out and where an animated hub of activity occurs upon one of The SKIPPER’s successful returns.
Consistently bequeathed with the honor of being named the island’s “Best Charter Boat,” Captain John Potter has been taking children and adults on safe and fun fishing trips, scenic rides, and sunset cruises for more than three decades. The experience is never more apparent than when passengers return with buckets of fish and their own glorious fish tales.
To be sure, Captain Potter knows where the fish are biting. This fishing savant promises there will be fish—lots of fish—and he delivers. In fact, you can catch the fishing report delivered to this paper and the TV show by the same name by Captain John himself.
While a true ocean fishing experience is the biggest lure, many guests simply come aboard to enjoy a relaxing ride around MV with a seasoned captain at the helm and a skilled crew to help with this state-of-the art, annually inspected fishing vessel.
There are so many reasons why fishing is one of the most popular sports in the world, including enjoying nature, sailing on vast blue waters, bonding with fellow fisherman, and the excitement that comes with every tug on your rod and reel. When on MV, no one offers a more unique and enjoyable fishing experience than Captain John Potter and his crew. Don’t let this experience “get away” from you while visiting the Vineyard. As Captain John says “Fish on!”
