The FV Time Bandit is a commercial crab fishing vessel co-captained by brothers Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand. It is featured on the Discovery Channel series Deadliest Catch. The Time Bandit is a 113-foot house aft boat owned by the Hillstrand brothers that was designed by the Hillstrands' father. The five men helped custom-build the boat's interior, including some comforts unheard of in a crab boat: a four-man sauna, state rooms with queen-size beds and a dishwasher.[1] The vessel carries 137 crab pots.
In October 2018 the vessel suffered a major engine failure forcing the crew to skip the season.[2] The Time Bandit returned to Deadliest Catch for Season 17..[3]
Crew[edit]
Three of the five Hillstrand brothers make up the six-man crew. Manning the helm are either Johnathan Hillstrand, typically during the King crab season, or Andy Hillstrand, typically during the Opilio crab season, with their youngest brother Neal Hillstrand serving as engineer and Neal's sons, Axel and Phillip Hillstrand, working as deckhands. All three elder Hillstrands act as mechanics for the boat as well.[4]
Justin Tennison, an engineer on the Time Bandit for two seasons, was found dead in a Homer, Alaska, hotel room on 22 February 2011.[5] An autopsy revealed that his death was due to complications related to sleep apnea.
Additional specifications[edit]
- Engines: two 600 horsepower (450 kW) Cummins QSK19 diesels[6]

Time Bandits are a Dutch band from the 1980s, best known for their hits 'I'm Specialized in You', 'Endless Road' and 'I'm Only Shooting Love'.
The band[edit]
The band was formed in 1981 by Dutch born Alides Hidding, who wrote all songs and sang lead vocals. The band's four albums made the charts all over the world.[citation needed] Time Bandits established a presence on the American music scene with two entries on the dance charts with the number 6 dance hit 'Live It Up' in 1982 and 'I'm Only Shooting Love', which peaked at number 2 in 1985.[1]
By the mid-1980s, Time Bandits had also achieved great success in Australia, where 'I'm Only Shooting Love' and 'Endless Road' (where its music video was filmed) were both Top 10 hits and are now widely considered '80s classics. These singles and other hits such as 'Listen to the Man with the Golden Voice', 'Dancing on a String' and 'I'm Specialized in You' were also successful in the Netherlands, Germany, France and New Zealand (where 'I'm Only Shooting Love' hit number one in June 1984).
After moving to Los Angeles from Europe in 1989, Alides' songs have been recorded by such artists as Jennifer Rush, The Nylons, and various European performers. He has established songwriting collaborations with such writers as Charlie Midnight (producer of Alides' last album Can't Wait for Another World together with Dan Hartman), Jackie DeShannon, Pamela Phillips Oland, Dwayne Hitchings, Donny Markowitz, and Todd Smallwood.
The versatility of Alides Hidding is reflected in his capacity to adapt to a wide range of songwriting and producing styles. His works vary from R&B, blues, dance, rock and pop.
Other band members were Marco Ligtenberg (keyboards), Guus Strijbosch (bass) and Dave van den Dries (drums).
After an absence from the stage, Alides began touring with his new band in 2006.

Trivia[edit]
- The 'Endless Road' music video was filmed in Australia during the band's 1985 tour.[6] The band are seen driving in a Toyota Tarago minivan, driving on country roads and through the streets of the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, where the pedestrian overpass and exterior of the Paradise Centre and the waterslides at Grundy's[7] in Surfers Paradise, and shots of the band performing at the Seagulls Club in Tweed Heads are featured. Other brief shots show them at the Big Pineapple, in a banana plantation, and viewing the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge from a boat on Sydney Harbour.
