About the Boat: The Time Bandit is a 113’ House Aft boat that was designed by the Hillstrands’ dad. The five boys helped custom build the boat’s interior and they included some comforts unheard of in a crab boat: four-man sauna, state rooms with queen size beds, and a dishwasher. 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.

Partner vessels: F/V Jennifer A

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.

    Karamell_Alskare Drinking In Baltimore 0 Monday, 8:41 PM EDT by Karamell_Alskare

    So, I'm not the type of person to ever sign up for a message board like this, or to ever join a fan group, but I have to say that the Hillstrand brothers seem like my drinking soul mates:) They make the show fun to watch. I just want to put this out there: Jonathan, Andy, and Neil- If you ever come to Baltimore you will have to drop me a line. I will take you to this bar- a kind of drab, hole in the wall sort of place- where they serve this liquor called Evil. It's clear, comes in an unlabeled bottle, tastes like pumpkin pie, and is about 150 proof. And it's dangerous stuff. The first time I had it I found myself at the end of the night singing Sinatra's That's Life and an hour after that I found myself handcuffed in the back of a cop car. Not because of the singing (or maybe it was, I don't know) but because things got a little rowdy at another bar and I found myself in the middle of it. See? There is a reason it's called Evil.

    And bring Eddie with you if you do ever come to Baltimore. That man is perfect. And I get a little frisky after having some Evil.

    Jonathan, you and Andy really have this wonderful commaradarie; and you two and Neal and the rest of the team catch CRAB! And fish people out of the water too. Oh, I cried when you saved that young man who was plunged into that icey water on his birthday and could have died in minutes.....you brothers and team are great......and thank you for letting the media share your lives with at least some people in this nation who really appreciate your realness and your ballsiness......Lord, as a woman, I am in awe! I would love to cook for you and feed you lots of good food, while you work so hard, but I would be MOST seasick. Sorry guys....but as a massage therapist, I would dearly love to massage you all after weeks and weeks of hard, impossible work, and get your tired, beaten bodies back into a much better state. My husband is addicted to your show, and was, in the past an avid and successful fisherman here in Southern California. He cannot wait to see the show every Tuesday night. You guys are the bomb! Take care, Kate

    The entire Time Bandit clan has been a huge help to our learning in the Deadliest Catch Classroom. Captain Johnathan left us a phone message to say hi and Captain Andy has sent us a note with other materials such as their book and pictures on behalf of the Time Bandit crew. Thank you so very much; words can't express how much your gesture and time means to all of us. May you always have the best of seasons!
