Yea nothing like a Rock Harbor sunset. Sometimes if you time it right you catch the sport fishing…read morefleet coming in before or just after the tide change with super happy anglers and filled fishing boxes. The site of these boats against the western sky and the pine tree lined entrance way to Rock Harbor from Cape Cod Bay is really memorable. Some broken clouds that offer the best sunset in the west, maybe a touch of haze in July and wait the rare opportunity when the tide is way out so there are miles of wet and salty newly created beach-front that offer up some serious sunset hiking. And then............there is the famous, never to be denied, discussed never in public Rock Harbor sunset cocktail members. Not that this is a club but you can pretty much walk by the first row closest to the beach and watch the perfect martini being poured in the passenger seat.. A little music, a little alcohol who knows ....a little magic back at the cottage. Rock Harbor sunset viewing is an Orleans tradition. Mostly attended by the more experienced or should I say retired. But it does catch on and as the tourist season picks up the gathering brings down the average age into the just after college category...and especially if the tide is out. So bring your cooler, kids, frisbee (no dogs in season ..too bad) and a definite is a camera. I'm thinking the perfect accesory is the a 12v powered margarita machine that helps put the evening over the top.

Great @ low tide. So many endless views and sand gets really colorful and u can walk for miles.read more

Had tons of stories to tell us about the area and pointed out all kinds of fun facts and landmarks as we went around the bay. We tried multiple spots for fish and Kevin always seemed to find the sweet spots where there were fish but no other boats.

Glen took us through everything he was doing (and what else he could try) with great patience and a marvelous sense of humor. He's wiley, not just blindly following the other boats, drawing on 30 years of experience and know-how to ferret out his catch. In 4.5 hours we landed 17 & 1/2 Rockfish, keeping our allowance and releasing the rest. The 1/2 occurred on the very last catch when a Great White cut my sons fish off at the head. Giving us an even bigger fish tale to tell. We had such a good time that my family is booking him again in 2 weeks.

Nico was quite accomodating about arrangements and answering questions. Our trip included fishing for bait, blue fish and an attempt at Striped Bass. He answered questions from teenagers and drove the boat fast and we even got a look at a large contingent of seals and a glimpse at some whales. We did make one large catch of a striped Bass and several of the blue fish which gave us enough for several meals (6 of the 7 of us went fishing). All the teenagers said they would be interested in doing this again with Nico in the future!
