About Us

Chatham's only publicly-available harbor launch for Stage Harbor, Oyster River and Mill Pond. And the only service to Monomoy Island!

Our Monomoy service boat, BOLO, is a 21' Alcar, built for Cape Cod waters by C.B. Boatworks of Wellfleet.

Captain Andrew Buckley is an 11th generation Cape Codder and grew up on the shore of Oyster Pond.

Seals frequent the Lighthouse Landing on South Monomoy.

Get your striper -- we try to drop as close to Monomoy Point as conditions allow. Fish the rips from the shore!

Our launch service boat, Lucy Jane, is a 19' Maritime Skiff with a design that is all around great for Chatham waters -- a shoal draft so we can get in close to shore, but with a bow that makes other boats too wet or rough to take out on Nantucket Sound. It is great for picking you up in the shallows near of of the Town Landings around Stage Harbor, Oyster Pond or Mill Pond, and get you right to your boat on its mooring, or the backside of Morris Island or Hardings Beach.

Our captain's first job as a teen was diving for conches (aka welks) in the Oyster River. And thereafter he ranged up and down these waterways in a canoe, learning every inch of the shores.

Monomoy is on every serious birder's bucket list. We can head out early and pick you up for a full day of exploring South Monomoy.

We land on the west side of Monomoy, and it is just a short walk to the back side, where seals (and their famous Great White predators) abound.

The rips at Monomoy Point are often crowded with sportfishing boats. We try to land you as close as possible so you can cast directly from the shore. We've landed folks at sunrise and pick ed them up near dusk, and they tell us they caught fish nonstop the whole time.

Along the constantly-shifting sands of Monomoy, inlets open and close to slat and freshwater ponds regularly. These are great places to wade and explore for shells and stones.

Whether heading 50 yards to your mooring with your family and three coolers, or 8 miles down Monomoy to visit the lighthouse, we are your ride to your Chatham adventure!
