  Captains Of The Time Bandit From TV's "The Deadliest Catch"

  Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand are born and bred Alaskans, and co-Captains of the F/V Time Bandit, featured on “The Deadliest Catch.” 

  The Hillstrand Brothers’ life at sea began at an early age when their father, John Sr., would take them out on the boat as early as the age of three. They began fishing at the age of seven.

  During King Crab season, you'll find Andy on deck sorting and counting crab with the rest of the crew.  Known as the Axeman, Andy is the consumate professional fisherman and takes every aspect of crew and boat safety seriously. It should come as no surprise that the Captain can rewire electrical systems, stitch up an injured crewmember, and bring in boat loads of crab! 

  As Captain of Time Bandit during King Crab season, Johnathan runs a tight ship. With the dangers of fishing the Bering Sea, the safety of his crew is his top priority.  
   
  He has not only been a crab fisherman, but for eight years, he professionally fished for lobster off of the New England coast in Gloucester, MA. When he's not fishing for crab in the winters, you'll find John fishing for salmon during the summer on board his 38 foot Weggley, F/V Fishing Fever.

  Fishermen (and women) and thrill seekers may join The Hillstrand Brothers on a private fishing charter aboard the Time Bandit, available exclusive through AuthentEscapes.  Please contact us for details.
