Join us on Days Work to get a true New England fishing Experience! At the helm is Capt. Sven with a lifetime of Rhode Island and tournament fishing under his belt. We do it all at Days Work Charters, from shorter inshore trips to extended day offshore trips, and even offering special seasonal trips as well. Get your fishing adventure booked today!

Be sure to take a look at all of our packages! Striped Bass and Blue Fish over at Block Island, Fluke and Sea Bass close to shore, or heading offshore for Yellowfins, Bluefins, and Mahi. We offer our trips in several time increments to fit everyone’s budget and schedules.

We operate a 36’ Yellowfin center console that has top speeds of around 55 knots and cruising speeds between 30-40 knots. This is the fastest charter boat around, and that means you’ll spend less time getting to the destination and a lot more time fishing.

A valid RI Fishing license is included for all guests on each of our trips along with everything you need to fish. Days Work Charters provides guests with the finest rods, reels, and tackle on the market. We’ll also clean and filet your catch for you to take home at the end of the day. Additionally, a first-mate will be there to assist throughout the day (customary to leave them a 15-20% tip).

Book your Rhode Island fishing adventure with Days Work Charters and get some fish on the deck. We cater to everyone from first time anglers and families with young children to experienced anglers looking for a new experience. We can’t wait to have you on Days Work!
