Your adventure starts on a 38’ Young Brothers downeast boat that can safely and comfortably take up to 6 guests. Thanks to its 385 HP Volvo engine, you’ll reach the fishing grounds in no time. Apart from extensive navigation electronics, the boat features a livewell and ice-box. You can use all the onboard facilities, which include a private toilet and kitchen.
You and the crew will go after Bluefin Tuna, Black Seabass, Bluefish, Cod, and Striped Bass. You can chase them by bottom fishing, spinning, and jigging on light tackle. The fish you catch is yours to keep. If you’d prefer to release it, you’re free to do so.
Captain Patrick takes care of rods, reels, tackle, licenses, and catch cleaning, as well as snacks and drinks. Bait isn’t included in the trip, so make sure to check with the captain what your options are.
City by the Sea Charters is waiting for you, hop aboard and make memories in Rhode Island!

We had a great time Captain Pat and his assistant John were great. We had my six year old grandson and he had a blast. They did a great job ensuring my grandson and the rest of our fishing party had a wonderful time.

The short version: Excellent trip! The longer version: Pickup was a breeze. Pat had us in the stripers as soon as we hit the fishing grounds. Both he and the first mate were top notch: very helpful and great with teaching the techniques used. Once we had it down, they pretty much let us do as much as we felt comfortable with and I really appreciated the respect and independence they afforded us. We spent the bulk of the morning fishing striped bass, but also spent time jigging for black sea bass and heading into the inlet to jig for fluke to finish out the morning. Pat would have gladly spent the entire morning fishing stripers, but he gave us options and we elected to try some different species. Our fish were prepped by the first mate as we were heading back in to the dock. Upon closer inspection of the fillets once home, I was very happy with the quality of the prep and the meat required only very minimal trimming prior to vac sealing and freezing. The bottom line is that I would not hesitate to utilize this charter service again in the future. Excellent service, great fishing, and memories to last a lifetime...what more could you ask for?

CAPT Pat and 1st Mate Joe were outstanding!! The gear, the approach and their expert coaching had us on fish and limited on stripers in the first hour - we did some catch and release including a beauty of 38lbs - they shifted us to fluke and we scored and then to sea bas and we scored again - Great boat, great crew and we will be back for certain - when your 18 year old daughter says “I would do that again!” You are thankful and elated - thanks Pat and Joe from F/V Venture!!!
