Captain Cook Charters is located in Warwick and offers to show you a memorable time in the rich waters of Narragansett Bay.

Captain Donald Cook will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in light tackle action, so expect to try bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, and spinning – all to get you on that bite. This involves 4-hour trips, mainly fishing for Seabass, Flounder, Bluefish, Bass, and Scup, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

Your adventure begins on board a 29' Blackfin Combi sportfishing boat that can fit 4 anglers very comfortably and up to 6 people by special request. The boat is fitted with a toilet, so you won't have to worry about getting caught short. Meanwhile, all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you need are included in the price.

As for fishing licenses, everything will be taken care of by the captain so you don't have to worry about it, and the price of your trip also includes complimentary snacks and drinks. Of course, you're welcome to bring your own. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you can bring the kids on for a fun fishing adventure. At the end of your trip, you'll get to keep your catch to take home for dinner – just don't forget to bring an ice box to keep it fresh. But unfortunately, I am unable to provide fish cleaning services, so all fish that are taken home most be whole.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Captain Cook Charters!

Wonderful time!
4 hour trip on June 13, 2026 • 2 adults

Thank you captain Don for making Hannahs birthday one to remember! For anyone considering booking with this Captain do it you’ll have a great time. We didnt have any kids on our outing however Captain Don shared many stories of some memorable outings and I could tell he enjoys the kids. Remember sunscreen & sun/fishing hat and cold hard cash for tip $$. Both Hannah amd I would use this charter if we were to return to Rhode Island for work in the future.

Reported catch:
Flounder

Amazing Trip
4 hour trip on September 5, 2026 • 4 adults

Captain Don was awesome! He was more than helpful with baiting our hooks and removing the fish we caught. He brought us to some great spots where we caught over 20 fish. Because he lives in the area he pointed out some cool places and had great stories to tell. We would definitely do another trip with Captain Don!

    Went out Labor Day weekend and despite a few showers at the start it was an amazing day. Captain Cook found the fish as usual. We all caught a variety fish including a 30" dog fish, some nice flounder, golden breem, and black sea bass. Highly recommend Captain Cook for a great day on the water.

    It was a nice day on the water. We had beautiful weather and the Captain knew what he was doing. Captain was very personable and made great conversation. He was willing to help with every aspect from baiting hooks to removing fish. All rods and tackle were in good shape, and he put us on fish!
