Fishing with family
Spring/Summer afternoon 4 hr on June 17, 20264 adults

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredible experience with JL Charters! My wife, my sister, my brother-in-law, and I booked a half-day fishing trip, and it exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we left the dock, the captain was professional, friendly, and clearly knew exactly where to find the fish. We were on fish almost immediately and stayed busy catching them throughout the trip. We landed a great variety of species, including fluke, sea bass, scup, dogfish, and robin fish. We brought home more than enough fresh fish for an amazing dinner! A huge shoutout to our deckhand, Sean, who worked nonstop to make sure everyone had a great time. He was patient, knowledgeable, quick to help with baiting hooks, untangling lines, and making sure we were catching fish. His hard work and positive attitude really made the trip even better. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, the boat was comfortable, and the entire crew made us feel welcome from start to finish. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time out, I can’t recommend JL Charters enough. We’ll definitely be booking another trip the next time we’re in Rhode Island. Thanks again to the Captain John and Deck Hand Sean for an unforgettable day on the water!

Great Charter Experience off Point Judith
Morning inshore trip (am) 4 hrs on July 25, 20256 adults

Captain John and Chris were both phenomenal! We wanted to catch to eat and they ensured we went to the best locations to bring home some fish. They even made recommendations on how to cook our catch. Both were very knowledgeable and patient, and we all learned so much about the area and the fishing industry. We experienced some rough conditions throughout the first half of the charter, and both John and Chris did a great job making us feel safe and confident on the water despite the roughness. If you’re looking to have a great fishing experience with true locals, this is your charter.

GREAT TIME!
Spring/Summer morning 4hr on June 21, 20265 adults1 child

Had a tremendous time with our family for Father’s Day. The crew was knowledgeable, patient, and very helpful/hands on. We had a young child (3.5yo) on board and they made sure he stayed safe, was engaged, and equally had a great time. Would absolutely recommend this charter!
