Narragansett has a fish with your name on it, so let Great Run Fishing Charters help you catch it! With Captain Charlie at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Striped Bass, Bluefish, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Porbeagle Shark, Thresher Shark, Blue Shark, Flounder, Black Seabass, Scup (Porgy), Tautog, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks!

Your day begins aboard a 31' JC downeast that holds up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures and bait. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

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.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Great Run Fishing Charters!

    beaucoup fish!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 20, 2026 • 5 adults

    Captain Charlie knows where and how to find the fish! we did the half day morning. Ended up with 18 keepers, and threw back three times as many. Rory, the mate, was attentive. He was a great sport… cleaning all those fish at the end of the trip. Both men were sweet and highly accommodating to my autistic daughter. The boat was also very clean and comfortable.  5 stars. highly recommend!

    Captain Charlie and his mate were awesome from the minute we stepped on board. I went with my two sons, 13 and 10. They had a great time. we caught a bunch of fish, 8 keepers. charlie was helpful, patient, and professional. My boys had an awesome time and were so proud to serve the family some delicious fish for dinner that night. 100% we will rebook for next year.

    get ready to catch alot of fish!

    5 hour Block Island (PM) on August 1, 2026 • 1 adult

    I had a blast! I wasn’t expecting that workout, haha! I was reeling in one striper after the next! And I even brought up a shark. I’d definitely recommend the 5-hour trip. The crew was great and friendly. The boat was also spotless and clean. I’d give it a 10/10 experience and I’ll be back!

    Lucky catch

    5 hour Block Island (PM) on August 8, 2025 • 6 adults • 4 children

    We were staying in Block Island. I feel lucky we connected with Charlie. Our crew of 4 teenage boys and 2 dads caught over 100 fish. They brought home the most delicious sea bass that we devoured. Half of our crew have logged many hours of fishing in local streams. Half have never fished before. Charlie and his mate, Willie, were the highlight of our week on block island. We met him at Champlin’s and in case the docks were full, there were small boats that were ready to bring us out to him $5/person. If you are on the fence, i recommend you book now. What an amazing catch.

    Great family trip

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on July 23, 2025 • 6 adults

    Had an awesome time with Charlie and Willy. Went with 3 kids (16-11) and 3 adults. Did the 4hr pm inshore. Most of us lost count of our catch count, but my 11 year old daughter kept close tabs on her 23 catches. We must have had over 100 total catches. Came close to the max total you can keep for black sea bass. Also caught a few flukes, scup and a couple of sharks! Charlie had us on the fish the entire time. He and Willy were running around the whole time. Super friendly and helpful. Willy did a masterful job filleting. Kids had an amazing time and can’t stop talking about it. We would highly recommend!

    Catching fish

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on May 4, 2025 • 2 adults

    Our charter was great. It was a bit early in the season for a lot of the fish to be out. Capt. Charlie made us fully away beforehand about that situation. But, we wanted to give it a try anyway. And, it ended up being a perfect day with a catch of 5 Tautog. The boat was very clean and comfortable. Captain Charlie and first mate, Evan, were very personable and interesting. They gave us pointers on Tautog fishing and some history of Narragansett. We highly recommend Great Run we definitely will go out again with Charlie.

    Great day of fishing!!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on August 27, 2025 • 2 adults

    Had a great day of fishing with Captain Charlie and his first mate Evan. They were incredibly friendly and experienced, and we were able to reel in plenty of fish. They filleted the fish we caught, offered cooking advice and we had an incredible fresh fish family dinner.

    Fishing with Charlie

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on May 25, 2025 • 4 adults

    Captain Charlie and his mate Dave were very professional. They knew their boat. They knew their equipment and they knew where to catch fish. Had a great time. My grandson loved I would recommend this to anybody definitely worth the money.

6 Hour Trip – Block Island AM on July 3, 2026 • 6 adults

Captain Charlie put us on over 20 Stripers at Block Island. Some of the biggest fish any of us in the group had ever caught. Would highly recommend chartering through Great Run. New clean boat, knowledgeable and professional and a great first mate; a very enjoyable day for our crew!
