Alan Becicka5.0VerifiedCaptain Bob is a Great Host
4 Hour Trip – Sightsee/Lobster/Fish on June 20, 2026 • 4 adultsOur party of four really enjoyed fishing with Captain Bob…he’s a great host. The fishing was a bit slow (conditions were difficult), but Captain Bob made our trip special by taking us for some sightseeing and into Newburyport. We enjoyed our time on the water…would recommend the trip to anyone looking for an a good time and friendly host.
