Fishing & Shellfishing
Fishing
Fishing charters are available throughout the Cape, with several operating out of Falmouth Harbor. Most are expensive sport-fishing outfits that accommodate between 5 and 10 people at around $75 to $100 per person. For the budget-minded, Patriot Party Boats, 1-800-734-0088, runs bottom-fishing excursions twice daily during the summer for $25 per person and their boat accommodates up to 50. Reservations are essential.
Shellfishing
