We had an awesome time during our four hour trip on the Columbia. The ship itself has an interesting history and is impeccably kept. Captain Marc was so knowledgeable and offered excellent fishing tips to our three boys. His first mate ( and son-in-law), John, was also wonderful. He was hands-on, encouraging the boys the entire time. We are looking forward to coming back to Rock Harbor to take a trip out on the Columbia again.

Couldn’t be happier with our trip. Captain Marc and mate were awesome. Down to earth, chill, and great with our kids.  The boat is absolutely gorgeous too which definitely tipped me to it in the first place.  Caught plenty of stripers and a blue (4 stripers were keepers) on our 4-hour trip.  Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a awesome day or half day of fishing on the Cape.

My boys and I had the pleasure of spending the day with Captain Marc Costa and deck hand Max. We caught lots of fish immediately and they did everything they could to make sure we hooked up all day. The boat was extremely well kept and comfortable for our group. We plan to absolutely book again with this crew. It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with them.

By far, the most gorgeous hand-crafted boat for private charter on the Cape.  The fishing was also awesome.  Our group got our limit of Strippers and Blues as well as lessons on how to discard fish carcasses to feed the creatures in the sea and not the gulls who sweep in to take any tidbits they can. I strongly recommend Capt. Mark and the Columbia.

If you are staying near Orleans, I do t think you’ll find a better captain or boat. It’s a great rig for families. There’s ample cabin room and 4 fighting chairs so everyone has a spot. Boat is large so it handles seas well. We will be back. Kids had an absolute blast. Thank you Capt.!
