Captains Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand — Time Bandit Brothers Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand share the skippering duties onboard their family-owned and operated vessel, the Time Bandit. Johnathan is the captain during king crab season. His love for living on the edge doesn't end when he gets off the boat, either. He's often seen wearing his distinctive leather jacket and cowboy boots, and has a passion for riding his supercharged Harley. In the off-season, he splits his time between Seattle, Wash., and Homer, Alaska. Andy Hillstrand is the skipper during opilio crab season and spearheads the business side of the family's fishing venture. During the off-season, Andy lives on a ranch in Indiana where he engages in his other passion -- training horses. A third brother, Deckhand Neal Hillstrand, has two of the most important duties on the boat — cooking and keeping the boat running. Neal resides in Homer, where he also owns and operates a hydroseeding company. Designed by the Hillstrands' father and custom-built by the brothers, the Time Bandit features luxuries unheard of on other crab boats, including staterooms with queen-sized beds, a four-person sauna and a dishwasher. |
