With special guest Capt. Andy Hillstrand from the fishing boat 'Time Bandit'

Fans of the hit Discovery Channel TV series The Deadliest Catch are in for a treat as Markwell Foods and Trident together with Hamilton Island, bring out one of the Skippers on the show – Capt. Andy Hillstrand from the boat 'Time Bandit'.

The Deadliest Catch TV Series documents the high yield and high risk pursuit of crabs as it follows several Alaskian fishing vessels through the brief, but deadly, crab fishing season. The fisherman, led by their fearless skippers, venture out into sub zero conditions in the turbulent and chaotic Bering Sea, whilst the show captures all their emotions and experiences.
 
Andy Hillstrand is a born and bred Alaskan, and a third generation fisherman. The ocean is in his blood. Aboard Time Bandit, Andy is co-captain along with his brother John. During King Crab season, you'll find Andy on deck sorting and counting crab with the rest of the crew. During Opilio Crab season, you'll find Captain Andy in the wheelhouse hunting for the elusive opies and fighting  rogue waves and hull-crushing ice. 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! (www.timebandit.tv) 

Join Captain Andy and hear a couple of his tales as you enjoy a sensational buffet dinner featuring Alaskian and Snow Crabs, seafood and other delicacies of our island chefs.

A perfect way for skipper’s to celebrate with their crew after Monday’s Long Race.
