An incredible fishing adventure awaits you! Join Persuader Charters and head out on a trip you'll never forget. Captain Dennis has been fishing in the area his whole life and he knows these waters like the back of his palm. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned angler, you'll have lots of fun aboard this charter.

The boat you'll be fishing from is a 44' Henriques boat. This fishing machine was restored in 2021 and upgraded with the newest navigational electronics and powerful twin 430 HP Cummins engines. The boat features kitchen appliances, a private toilet, and an enclosed flybridge. To make fishing more effective, there's also a fighting chair, a live bait tank, and outriggers.

All trips are available from April–December for groups of up to 6 guests. Depending on what fishing grounds you visit, you can go after Striped Bass, Black Seabass, Bluefish, Flounder and Porgy. Try out different fishing techniques and see which one feels best to you. Let the captain know if you need more of his help or if you prefer to fish on your own.

The crew covers the most important details of your trip – your fishing licenses and all of the equipment you'll need. After the trip, they'll even clean and fillet your catch. You only need to take care of your snacks, drinks, and some sun protection.

Bring your friends and family with you and start your adventure with Persuader Charters!

A trip the boys will never forget!
8 Hour Trip on June 27, 20262 adults3 children

My boys had the best day out on the water. great weather and the bite was strong! From catching fresh mackeral for bait and using them for those striper “cows” including running into some pilot whales. We got the best of both worlds, fishing and whale watching , it was an unforgettable day on the water. Bonus, the crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and super helpful! Thank you Chris, Mike, and George and of course Capt. Denny. We will be booking again soon!

Awesome Father’s Day Adventure
8 Hour Trip on June 21, 20262 adults

Fishing with Persuader Charters was nothing short of a blast. We booked the trip last minute, because another charter we had lined up cancelled 2 days prior. Luckily we found these guys. Our caption asked us at the dock if we wanted to go after slot size keepers, or trophy fish. Having that choice made me realize the day we were about to have. We decided to make the run out to north Block Island and chase the big girls, and we were not disappointed. Although every drift didn’t have fish, the fish we caught were very high quality which is exactly what we wanted. Multiple 40+inch fish with one 50 incher landed on the day. We were also able to land a cookie cutter slot Striper to take home for the grill. It really was a perfect day. The captain and mate worked hard to make sure we had a great experience, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Book the trip!! You wont regret it.
