Many generations of family and friends have been fishing on the Columbia. It was built for Elmer Costa specifically for the charter industry: long and wide with a huge deck for landing the big ones, a dependable Detroit diesel engine that pushes the boat along at a comfortable speed, and a fully enclosed cabin for guests to stay out of the sun and rain.

We had a great time with Captain Marc and first mate Chase. Both were very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we threw their way. Once we got out on the bay it didn’t take long for us to start reeling them in one after another. We were having such a good time we all wished we could spend another full day on the boat. Highlight of this day out was all 3 of us catching a fish at the same time and Chase didn’t hesitate to take the picture for us. We are already planning our trip for next year!
We took a morning trip out to catch stripers with Captain Marc and first mate Chase (and cutie pup Nutmeg). They got out crew of 4 adults and two boys 9 and 7 out on the water and reels in the ocean on about 20 minutes. We caught almost 20 fish with 7 that were within the allowable size to keep. Excellent tips and help with the reels from Chase, he's a great first mate. We did a half day trip and came home with dinner for the night and then some. Can't recommend enough. Easy parking at the marina as well.
I booked a half day fishing trip with Capt. Marc Costa on the Columbia as a Father's Day gift for my husband, dad, and uncle to go with my son so they could have a memorable day on the sea doing something they would all enjoy. I didn't go, but I heard all about it when they got home and they all RAVED. My son already asked me if we could do a full day trip to go tuna fishing next time. My husband said Capt. Marc, his first mate Chase, the boat, the entire experience were amazing. They caught a lot and brought home 7 bags of bluefish and striper, which we are cooking up tonight. The first mate assisted them throughout the day and filleted the fish for them right on the boat when they were coming in. Capt. Marc was very responsive when I sent a message with any questions and so personable. The experience really made an impression on everyone. Absolutely great day had by all!
The boat and equipment were terrific. Captain Marc and first mate Landon were exceptional. Not only did they put us on fish but their instructions and assistance helped tremendously.In particularly Landon related to my 2 grandchildren in a way that put them at ease . The keepers we caught were filleted and bagged for our trip home. Highly recommend Captain Marc and his team.
We had an incredible fishing experience with Captain Marc and first mate, Chase this past weekend! The boat was so spacious and the fighting chairs were a great bonus! The Captain knew exactly what to do to find fish and the mate was there the entire time to coach us and help us get our lines tight and fish in the boat!!! I can’t thank them enough for a wonderful experience and our keepers made a fabulous dinner for the whole family. We will definitely be back to this charter again, it was everything we had hoped for!

We had an awesome trip with Captain Marc and first mate Chase. Marc was sighting fish frim above the rest of the cape cod crowd didnt see and Chase was the best first mate we’ve ever had. Amazing trip, brought home a max catch and had a blast on this incredible boat. Really exceptional we were worried about not doing a full day trip and luckily the fish were biting. They did great with our 4 and 7 year old on biard as well and cabin is extra comfy and kid friendly.
Captain Costa and his first mate were absolutely wonderful. They kept us on the fish all day. My family and I will definitely be booking with them again next year.

Had a beautiful day fishing the the Cape Cod Bay and landing quite a few stripers!!! The boat is beautiful and the Capt. and crew took care of every one of our needs during the trip. I would highly recommend a trip on the Columbia

We had a great morning with Captain Marc and Chase. We lucked out with the weather and caught a bunch of striper while Chase kept us amused with tales of local folklore and 1 legged seagulls…..Will absolutely book again.
We had a family group of 6 for a full day excursion. Marc and Ryan were excellent! Marc was on top of the fish most of the day and was great at navigating. Ryan; the first mate was great too. He was patient with us first timers and showed even the little one how to fish. We brought home more fish than we knew what to do with!
