Dear new owners of Nauset Marine:…read more A long time customer and commercial fisherman who held Nauset marine staff and philosophy of association with my industry in high esteem, I was very disappointed with my first attempt (by phone) to speak with someone under the new ownership. In the past, we always were greeted by a human being when calling in; prompt connection to the proper department followed. Now, an answering service asks us the usual question after informing us of recent changes in the format. after being shunted to the ship store Department, I was informed no one was available to take my call: goodbye And dial tone. My response after education with the new business philosophy under new owners follows: While I have never owned a sport boat purchased from you, I and many other fishers have been "putting bread in your jar" through our commercial businesses. if you hope to keep us coming back, please replace the impersonal and poorly run communication system with the personal touch that made Nauset Marine what it was and always has been. You might also consider having an open house for your customers to meet and get to know you as well. I am sure the customer base, both recreational and professional, would greatly approve. I understand and appreciate you are not new to this industry. However many of us are "working men and women". We will be very disappointed if we loose the bond we have had with the business since 1961. Sincerely, Captain William Amaru, Orleans

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
