The FV Bandit Time is a commercial crab fishing boat headed by Johnathan's brothers and Andy Hillstrand. This is a feature on the Deadlyest Catch series of Discovery Channel . The Bandit Time is a 113ft tall sailboat owned by the Hillstrand brothers designed by Hillstrands' father. The five men helped build the inside of the boat, including some unheard of comforts in a crab boat: a four-person sauna, stateless rooms with a queen size bed and a dishwasher. The ship was carrying 137 pots.
