Yolanda Jones•
Missouri, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedNew⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 EXPERIENCE HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHAD! 🎣🔥 Best fishing trip ever!!!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 9, 2026 • 5 adultsWe chartered a boat with Chad for my mom’s birthday, and when I tell you this experience was AMAZINGGGG!! 🙌🏽 We ended up catching the BIGGEST STRIPED BASS 🐟🎣 seriously, the fish was HUGE! We released it back into the water, but just getting the chance to catch something like that was an experience we will NEVER forget. Chad was cool asf 😂, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, patient, and made sure we had a great time from beginning to end. The whole vibe was perfect, and it made my mom’s birthday even more special. ❤️🎂 The fishing, the laughs, being out on the water, and then landing that MONSTER bass?! 🔥🔥🔥 You couldn’t ask for a better trip! If you’re thinking about booking a fishing charter, BOOK WITH CHAD! You will not be disappointed. We had an absolute blast and would definitely do it again. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🎣🐟🚤🔥
Hayden Faubush•San Antonio, TX, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedFriendly Captain, Excellent Equipment, Beautiful Morning.
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 10, 2026 • 3 adultsI'm glad I chose Captain Braga as our charter. He was tremendously friendly and prioritized our comfort and fishing success above all else. It was very calm waters in the morning and if course as with any fishing trip it took us a little bit of time to find the fish but once we found the general area where the stripers where he kept us on top of them the whole time. we had success on the spoons but it took us a little bit to figure out what they were biting on. afger a few hours of catching with spoons we switched to trolling with what looked like jerk baits and we started really reeling them in. I can't recommend this captain enough.

Anthony GialloretoRepeat angler•Delaware, US•Member since 20234 trips5.0VerifiedA productive Day on the water.
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 19, 2025 • 5 adultsWe had an incredible day out on the water with Capt. Chad and can't recommend this charter enough. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Capt. Chad was extremely personable and made us feel right at home. His knowledge of the area and the fish we were targeting was top-notch — he had us on fish all morning! He was willing to teach and share his expertise. Whether we were asking about technique, tackle, or the local ecosystem, he was always happy to explain. It was clear he genuinely enjoys what he does. If you're looking for a fun, productive day of fishing with someone who truly knows their stuff, this is the charter to book. Tony, Matt, CJ, Cody
Mike Moore•Ohio, USMember since 20245.0VerifiedGreat experience
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 21, 2024 • 2 adultsMy son had never went fishing before and for his 16th birthday planned a trip to CT and RI. This trip was part of a bigger trip we took. The captain couldn’t have been more accommodating and patient with both of us. He got us on the fish and we ended up have a blast. Would come back again and recommend anyone who is looking for a good time to check him out.
David DalyRepeat angler•Massachusetts, US•Member since 20252 trips5.0VerifiedThe whole trip was amazing.

Yolanda, you and your family were cool AF! 😂🔥 I had just as much fun with you guys, and I’m so glad I got to be part of making your mom’s birthday one to remember! That striped bass was an absolute MONSTER—and watching you guys land it, celebrate it, and then release it was what fishing is all about. 🎣💪🏼 The laughs, the energy, and the whole vibe on the boat were perfect from beginning to end. Thank you so much for choosing BragaBoutIt Charters and for leaving such an amazing review. You guys are welcome back on my boat anytime—let’s do it again and find an even bigger one! 🙌🏼🐟

Thank you so much for the awesome review! Really appreciate the kind words. Some days it takes a little grinding to dial the bite in, but once we found them it turned into a great trip. Glad you guys had an amazing morning on the water and hope to fish with you again soon! 💪🎣
We had to reschedule our trip from June to July due to bad wheather. Chad was excellent with his communication. Our family showed up 30 minutes late due to Newport traffic and Chad was very accommodating. Our trip of 5 was amazing. We all caught striped bass, with our15 year old daughter catching the most fish during a friendly competition between her and her two older brothers. The boat was very clean and Chad made sure the rods were always baited and ready to go. Thank you for an amazing experience!
Thank you so much for the amazing review! It was a pleasure having your family aboard. I’m glad we were able to make the reschedule work and turn it into a memorable day on the water. Your daughter definitely earned those bragging rights over her brothers! 😂 Thanks again for trusting BragaBoutIt Charters, and I hope to have you all back out again soon for another great trip. Tight lines! 🎣
Great boat, great captin, no tuna but we were warned by the captain in advance that they were not biting but we stuck with it rather than going insure but still had a great day. Seen a whale and loads of dolphins. Would recommned to anyone looking for a freindly relaxed trip and a very informed and freindly captain.
It was great having you aboard!!! what a great show by the marine mammals!! save travels back to the UK.
Went looking for Tuna seemed like a slow dya gor all the boats. caught quite a few sharks and still had a great time.
