FV Time Bandit
From SpottingWorld, the Hub for the SpottingWorld network...
The F/V Time Bandit is a commercial crab fishing vessel co-captained by brothers Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand. It is featured on the Discovery Channel series Deadliest Catch. The Time Bandit is a 113-foot house aft boat owned by the Hillstrand brothers that was designed by the Hillstrands' father. The five men helped custom-build the boat's interior, including some comforts unheard of in a crab boat: a four-man sauna, state rooms with queen-size beds and a dishwasher. Three of the five Hillstrand brothers make up the six-man crew along with Jonathan's son Scott. The vessel carries 137 pots.
