Martha's Vineyard Outfitters is a fly fishing and light tackle guide service located on the beautiful island of Martha's Vineyard. We specialize in fishing the island's near coastal waters and literally endless network of flats, bays and estuaries targeting striped bass, bluefish, bonito, and false albacore.
Brice Contessa, owner and operator of Martha's Vineyard Outfitters is a professional fishing guide with close to two decades of experience in the business who has been fishing the waters of Martha’s Vineyard his entire life.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a novice or an expert, Martha's Vineyard Outfitters can custom design a trip to fit your needs. Captain Brice is friendly and knowledgeable, regularly helping beginners catch their first fish on a fly, and guiding many an expert to the fish of a lifetime. Martha’s Vineyard is one of the world’s premier fishing destinations, so whether you’re a serious angler or just learning how, the fishing on the Vineyard is truly something you must see to believe.
"I got my NorthCoast 190 a couple of years ago and I can't speak highly enough about its performance and versatility. The Vineyard is an incredibly diverse fishery. On a given day I can find myself fishing big waves in the Wasque Shoals, creeping along a sod bank in Cape Pouge Gut and working the rocky and rugged shorelines of the Elizabeth Islands. My boat does it all and does it all well."

“Fin Deep- This boat was built to fulfill the need of having the most useable offshore fly fishing and light tackle boat available. Fin Deep gets us on the water more often and keep us out there longer than any flats boat or cluttered

“The NorthCoast 280CC, with twin 250 Mercury Outboards, is the driest offshore center console. You can fish in 6-8 footers for Bluefin Tuna. Twenty miles off Cape Cod- I wouldn’t trust my client’s safety or fishing time to any other brand.”- Capt. Eric Morea

Barnstable Harbor, Cape Cod
Hi, I’m Captain Steve Leary of team My Fishing Cape Cod and the NorthCoast Boats Pro-Team. As the U.S. Coast Guard licensed operator and owner of WINGMAN Sportfishing, I run fishing charters out of beautiful Barnstable Harbor on lower Cape Cod Bay. I’ve been fishing the waters of Cape Cod, The Islands and Northeast Canyons for over 30 years. In addition to our area, I’ve successfully fished the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the waters around Grand Bahama Island.
I’ve embraced lessons learned working alongside great Captains and Mates and have adapted techniques resulting in catches of Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Blue Fin, Big Eye, Yellow Fin and Long Fin Tunas, Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, Mako Shark, False Albacore, Bonita, Striped Bass, Blue Fish, Black Sea Bass, Cod and Haddock.
With all that I’ve experienced during my years on the water, I am most enjoying this phase of my career primarily chartering Striped Bass and Blue Fin Tuna trips aboard my NorthCoast 26 built by C&C Marine in Bristol, Rhode Island. Now aboard WINGMAN and through the My Fishing Cape Cod website, I can pass my knowledge along introducing locals and visitors alike to the incredible fishery we have here on beautiful Cape Cod.
Via the website, I’ll be providing weekly updates of where WINGMAN is fishing, what we are catching and the tackle and techniques we’re using. I will be happy to respond to any questions you may have and assist you in improving your catch. In addition, subscribers of My Fishing Cape Cod will receive a 20% discount on charters aboard WINGMAN.
I get tremendous enjoyment creating memories, be it seeing a tear in a mom or dad’s eye as a young son or daughter just landed their first striper, hearing the screams among a party of ladies as they shout encouragement to one another while reeling in a multiple hookup of fish or having charters tell me “Captain Steve we don’t even care if we catch a fish. It’s just so beautiful here.” as we troll along the dunes of Sandy Neck, across the bay or Wellfleet cliffs at sunrise or sunset!
I am in deed fortunate!
Fair Seas and Tight Lines!

We fish a NorthCoast 230CC in Massachusetts Bay and around Stellwagen Bank mostly for ground fish and bluefin. High gunnels and reverse chines make for a dry ride, stable drift and a versatile inshore/offshore rig. The open layout has much more fishable space than other center consoles in this class – especially at the stern. I could go on about the boat but ultimately it’s backed up by a great organization – the individuals at NCB take a lot of pride in their work and it comes through in the product. They have been great to work with… just answering questions and being able to have a relationship like that with the builder add a lot of value. –
