Our 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.

The Captain was Awesome and Very Knowledgeable. We caught Fish. Fish On! 😃

Captain Bob was great. He made the trip really adventurous, professional, and over all fun for my son and I. And we caught a variety of fish species !!
