Damon continued his fishing aspirations, working as a mate on three different Cape Cod based commercial tuna fishing vessels. His propensity for the sea eventually developed into a full time career on the water. In the Spring of 1997, Damon established his own private sportfishing charter operation, Castafari Inc.

The Fishing
Inshore Fishing: Inshore trips involve fishing primarily for striped bass around the beautiful back beaches and rips of the Elizabethan Islands and Martha’s Vineyard. If you want constant action, with solid shots at trophy fish, these trips are it. We only fish inshore in June until the offshore waters heat up. These inshore trips are a great way to entertain work related clients and friends. Everyone catches fish.
Canyon Trips: Canyon trips involve the most incredible fishing experience that we offer, and we have the boat to do it in. We fish roughly 70 to 100 miles South of Nantucket Island in 70 to 80 degree blue water where it looks, feels, and even smells like the tropics. Here it is not uncommon to tangle with a wide variety of tuna species, not to mention, blue and white marlin, mahi mahi, wahoo, sharks, and even swordfish! We troll by day, and chunk by night.
Giant Tuna Fishing: These trips involve fishing for the biggest tuna in the world, ranging 300 to well over a thousand pounds. The boat is fully rigged with 5 top of the line custom Saco Bay Tackle rods and 130 Penn International reels and a 130 pound class Rybovich fighting chair. We ALWAYS have live bait available. EARLY morning departures are mandatory! We employ trolling, drifting, and kite fishing. We also have a 4 Penn 80’s on custom short bent butt Biscayne rods for stand-up enthusi
Offshore Bluerfin Tuna Fishing: These trips involve fishing the waters thirty to sixty miles south of Martha’s Vineyard, and east of Chatham for 50 to 200 pound bluefin tuna when they are available. Trolling is the tactic used here, and it is not uncommon for us to fish up to ten rods at once. We use all Penn International reels and stand up roller guided custom rods. These trips have proved to be very productive from June right through October.
