I'm a life long Cape Codder with a passion for outdoor activities. As a high school teacher, I run "Into the Wild," a club that brings students on hikes and boating trips to learn about and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. My website SecludedCapeCod.com helps visitors and natives find quiet places to explore on our peninsula. Of all those places Sandy Neck Off-Road Vehicle Park is my favorite place to enjoy the ocean, dunes, and woods all in one location.

Ali-J Fishing Charters Cape Cod

Join me, Chris Hayes, Charter Boat Captain, for possibly the best fishing experience you'll ever have. I received my 200 Ton captain's license at the age of 17, and started fishing off the shores of Cape Cod when I was in middle school. My boat, the Ali J II, can take up to six passengers comfortably. The Ali J can launch from the location closest to the best fishing on any particular day and is fast enough to get you quickly to the fishing grounds. My customers catch fish and are always happy.
