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!

    Great Labor Day on the Water

    4 hour trip on September 6, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    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.

    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.

    Solid trip!

    4 hour trip on August 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    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!

    Great day on the water with Captain Cook! We have fished with the Captain before so we were ready to catch. Keeper flounder, 37” dog fish!, sea robin, black sea bass and scup. Kids had a blast and Captain Cook is great with the kids and has stories for everyone. We’ll repeat for sure!

    So much fun!!

    4 hour trip on June 17, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a perfect day on the boat. The fish didnt seem to want to bite at first but Captain Don found the fish for us and we ended the day catching multiple blue fish and a GIANT striper. 10 out of 10 day! Would definitely recommend and very family friendly.

    4 hour trip on June 26, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Don made sure that the four children I brought each caught fish. He made sure they had a great time. He also pointed out sites along the bay, so it was a tour as well as a fishing trip. Thank you, Captain Dan!

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!

Great time!
4 hour trip on September 7, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

Captain Cook was great. We went with two guys and two four year olds. Boat was comfortable for the kids and gave them a place to sit in the shade which was huge. He was also great with them, very engaging and helpful. Most importantly he got us on the fish. Would recommend.

Donald Cook
Response from Captain

Happy that you all had a good time. The boys were great, it's hard for four year olds on a boat with not a lot of room to roam. Thank you for choosing me as your charter. Don
