Meet Captain
Phillip Durfee.

Captain Phillip founded Fish Happens Charters in 2008. His experience on Cape Cod and East Coast waters shapes the conversation before your trip: where the fish have been, what conditions may allow, and what makes sense for your group.

Your questions belong in that conversation. Whether this is your first charter or you have a particular offshore goal, explain what you hope to get from the day.

Plan your arrival.

The published meeting address is 130 Pleasant Street, South Yarmouth, MA 02664. Visits are by appointment. Confirm the precise dock, parking instructions, arrival time, and contact procedure when arranging your charter.

Guests staying in Yarmouth, Dennis, or elsewhere on Cape Cod can plan their journey to Bass River once the captain confirms the departure details. Allow extra time for seasonal traffic and avoid relying on an unconfirmed online map pin for the dock.

The same boat, wherever you find us.

FishHappens-Charters.com and Fish-Happens.com belong to the same Fish Happens Charters operation. This site focuses on comparing trips, species-specific planning, and preparing for departure. Fish-Happens.com holds our fishing reports, fishing background, and shared booking form.

There is one captain to coordinate with and one charter calendar to confirm. Please do not make duplicate requests across the two sites for the same trip.
