Mako 2 Charters is your ticket to the stunning waters of Narragansett.

Species like Bluefish, Flounder, Black Seabass, Scup (Porgy), Striped Bass, Tautog, and more could be biting if you cast your line at the right time of year. You'll target your catch by fishing with heavy tackle, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You'll be dropping lines from a 43' Bulger sportfishing vessel with capacity for 10 passengers. It comes with a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 20% to show your appreciation.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    AWESOME EXPERIENCE & CREW

    7-8 Hour Trip on July 24, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Dave and Evan are outstanding!!! we could not have had a better day if we tried. between stripers, sharks, sea bass, and the others i can’t remember, it was the perfect experience. And for my son’s first trip out, to see him reel in a fish the same size as him is an amazing experience. These guys are great all around!!

    Action for days.

    Half Day Trip on September 17, 2026 • 8 adults

    Great trip out with best captain and crew you can find in Point Judith. Non stop bites and fish on the line. Dave kept us in the right areas. We got to see a massive bluefin tuna actively eat the floater fish left behind by the scraper boats. They taught us about safety and regulations as well.

    Absolutely the BEST

    7-8 Hour Trip on June 21, 2025 • 7 adults

    Don't look any farther if you want a real fishing experience! Captain Dave and Evan will give you the best time! We had a party of 7 and maxed out on blues and almost on Stripers. The atmosphere on the boat and knowledge of fishing was more that A+. In fact it was interesting to watch - the other charter boats followed Dave around because they saw us keep catching fish - I was glad we were on the lead boat! :-) Take our word - Well worth it tks Dave and Evan! PS. very fair no cheating! IF a fish did not pass regulated size it went back in - you don't have to cheat if you know what you are doing!

    Fantastic day on the water

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 2, 2025 • 9 adults • 2 children

    We booked a four hour offshore trip for our family and my husband’s brothers and nephew. Captain David was great and super responsive and his first mate Evan was so helpful and patient, especially with the kids. Captain David was determined to put us on fish and man did he deliver! We had a great trip and a lot of success. We would definitely book this charter again!
