About the Boat: The Time Bandit is a 113’ House Aft boat that was designed by the Hillstrands’ dad.

The Hillstrand brothers own the boat.

The second Time Bandit of the Hillstrands (the first one was renamed as American Way, now a research vessel named Kittiwake), was built in 1991.

The vessel carries 137 pots. It has the capacity to hold 175,000 lbs. of Opillio Crab, 120,000 lbs. of King Crab and 350,000 lbs. of Salmon.

Johnathan Hillstrand
Name:Johnathan Hillstrand
Position: Co-Captain/Deckhand
Years experience:
Mini bio: Johnathan’s love for life on the edge doesn’t end when he gets off the boat. He rides a Harley Davidson that is rigged for a nitrous boost that will add 300hp at the touch of a button. He’s a leather-jacket-cowboy boot guy, but his friends say he is really a teddy bear. He is not afraid to speak his mind, and he runs a tight ship.

Andy Hillstrand

Name: Andy Hillstrand
Position: Co-Captain/Deckboss
Years experience:
Mini bio: Andy trades captain duties with Johnathan between seasons. During Opilio season Andy is the captain. He is very talkative and considers himself the most levelheaded of the family.

He trains Quarter horses through the natural horsemanship or “horse whisperer” technique.

In the off-season, he runs a hydro-seeding company in Homer, Alaska.




Russell Newberry

Name: Russ Newberry
Position: Deckboss
Years experience:20
Mini bio: A native of Homer, AK, he has known the Hillstrands most of his life.

    Dear Capt. Hillstrand

    Let me inter duce myself. My name is Everett Johnson I grew up in Ballard at 8038 31st NW. I graduated from Ballard in 1962 and went worked in the Ballard Ship yards for about 10 years as a shipwright at Rowe's, Pacific Fish, Marco, and Seattle Ship, later I went into Aviation and have flown the rest of my career as a Airline Pilot and also owned Nyman Pile Driving Corp. from 1979 through 1997. I am now retired and fly every summer in Alaska for a Fishing Lodge in King Salmon.

    The reason I am writing you is I am a member of Seattle yacht Club and the Chairman of Commercial Decorated Boats for OPENING DAY on May 1, 2010.

    I would like to invite you and your Crew to participate in our Opening Day Parade. I know the people of Seattle and the North West Boating families would enjoy seeing you and your family and Crews family participate.

    If you would give me a call at my home I would enjoy filling you in on the days activities. Opening Day of Boating season is a really fun week and We would all enjoy you joining us.

    I assume that the Time Bandit is still in the cannel on May 1, and hasn't headed north as of yet?

    Please call me at your conveniences.

    Best Regards,


    Everett Johnson
    Chairman of Decorated Commercial Vessels
    Seattle Yacht Club
