Adorned with the Jolly Roger on the bow, the Time Bandit is the closest thing to a Pirate boat currently plying the Bering Sea. A family-run boat, the Time Bandit is skippered by brothers Johnathan Hillstrand during King Season and Andy Hillstrand during Opies with younger brother Neal acting as boat engineer/cook and Johnathan's son, Scott, working the deck. The two older brothers are well known for their antics: practical jokes, fireworks on deck and creative greenhorn hazing. But that doesn't mean they take fishing lightly

The Seabrooke is a leader among the "new pioneers" of crab fishing in the Bering Sea. Intent on taking on the old guard and making their mark, the aggressive crew is led by a young captain who will pull no punches to be the best in the fleet. The Seabrooke is also the "Corvette" of the Bering: it's fast, it's red and it packs heavy horsepower. The skipper plans to sail it into the weather to hunt on grounds away from the pack in order to bring home the crab. This is a boat made for serious fishing.

TexasLady:
Ramblin' Rose
Captain: Elliott Neese
Deckhand boss: Kevin Davis
Deckhand: Faresa Iaulualo
Deckhand: Tim Lovins
Deckhand: James Creel
Small and "economical" in the words of the skipper, the Ramblin' Rose is run by a young crew with a young skipper and a lighthearted attitude. In an odd dynamic, the greenhorn deckhand is the oldest man on the boat. The Rose isn't the prettiest boat in the fleet, but an agile vessel with men working hard for their money. On this boat, the pots are hand pushed because the crew is young and strong and they find it faster. Two of the crew are new to the boat, but they have fished before, and were recommended to the skipper by trusted friends. Most are single — only the skipper among the full share crewmen has families or kids. Their youth and relative inexperience will be on display as they contend with the old warhorses — the Rose has nowhere to go but up.

TexasLady:
Wizard
TYPE: 155-foot house aft vessel
POTS: 250
KING CRAB CAPACITY: 400,000 lbs
BUILT: 1945 – Brooklyn, NY
HOME PORT: Seattle, WA
CATCH SEASONS: 3 to 6
Captain: Keith Colburn
Relief Captain: Monte Colburn
First Mate: Gary Soper
Engineer: Lenny Lekanoff
Deckhand: Crosby LeVeen
Deckhand: Lynn Guitard
Greenhorn: Paul Edgren
The Wizard started out as a U.S. Navy yard oiler, built at the end of World War II, but never put into naval service. The boat sat mothballed in Boston Harbor until 1978 when she was purchased by fisherman John Jorgenson who oversaw her conversion into a crab boat that went to work in the Bering Sea fisheries the following year. Both Keith and Monte Colburn learned many of their crab captain skills while working for John on the Wizard. In 2005, Keith and his wife Florence purchased the vessel with the confidence that they could maintain the boat's consistently high production levels. These high yields are possible, in part, because of the large tanks inherited from her original construction.

Kodiak
Captain: Wild Bill Wichrowski
Engineer: Adam McCalden
Deckhand: Tony Castillo
Deckhand: Jake Jolibois
Deckhand: Eric Anderson
Greenhorn: Zack Larson
Last year's new boat in the Deadliest Catch fleet, Kodiak was more like an old school gunslinger returning to town to lay down a claim. It's captain, Wild Bill Wichrowski, had spent most of his life resisting pressure from fish and game officials, regulators, and political types who never seem to give up trying to "civilize" Dutch harbor, its crab fleet and Bering Sea fishing Coming back to cold waters from the warm seas of Mexico, the old pot slinger reappeared to the crab game to find he had grown rusty, but no less ornery. He even stayed frosty toward his newest greenhorn, Zach, his own son.
