Welcome aboard the Kelly Marie!

It's almost Black Fish season! Book a trip for the most fun fish to catch in Block Island and Fishers Island Sound! This ground fishing trip is an exciting opportunity for anglers of all experience levels.

There may still be some recreational blue fin tuna around so reach out if you want to try trolling or jigging for tuna.

Looking for something specific? Custom trips are always welcome. Whether you're interested in targeting a particular species, exploring new waters, or simply enjoying a relaxing day on the water, we're happy to discuss a trip tailored to your goals aboard our classic 35-foot, 20,000-pound Downeast vessel.

Your captain will provide quality rods and reels, but you're more than welcome to bring your favorite lucky rod and tackle. To ensure a comfortable day on the water, we recommend bringing bottled water, your preferred beverages, sunscreen (non-spray only), wearing closed toe shoes and a hat and sunglasses for sun protection.

Please bring any snacks or food you'd like during the trip. Alcohol is permitted in moderation; however, we ask that guests avoid glass containers, and hard liquor is not allowed onboard.

If you have any special requests, questions, or concerns before your trip, don't hesitate to reach out. We look forward to welcoming you aboard and helping you create lasting memories on the water.

Amazing 👏
Custom Boat Trip on June 22, 20262 adults

The Captain of Kelly Marie Charter was attentive, showed extensive knowledge of the area, including fishing spots, and he is a person who provides great company on the boat. My husband and I booked this during our honeymoon, best decision! We reeled in black sea bass and striper. We kept two of each, the Captain provided excellent service. This was my first trip, I came in with little knowledge of what a charter entails, he was very supportive, informative, and had a goal to make this trip special for both my husband and I. We strongly recommend booking this charter with Captain Jason. We definitely will again!

we had a great time, what else can i say?! captain and mate were cool and personable, caught fish at every spot we tried and when the bite stopped we moved on to somewhere new, first mate was on point the whole time and we went home with a cooler of fish for dinner. We'll be contacting these guys again in the future for sure

Kelly Marie Block Island Striper Trip
6 Hrs-Striper/Blue @ BI or Montauk on June 6, 20265 adults

Caught lots of great stripers. Captain put us right on the fish right away. We had 3 fish in the keeper slot. Captain Jason and Mate Jonah were terrific, obviously stoked about what they do and very knowledgeable. We were 5 guys and the Kelly Marie accommodated us nicely. He's been fishing forever but relatively new to the charter business but don't be scared, he knows his stuff! Thanks Jason and Jonah!

I have been fishing my entire life and enjoy it year round. As soon as the ice is off the local trophy lakes I troll for trout and salmon. Spring tautog, squidding, fluke fishing and trolling for stripers and blues are a great time. As soon as the blue fin tuna show up and the season opens I start giant fishing. Tautog fishing in the fall is hands-down my favorite thing to do but I have fished for giants all over New England and have landed at least 50 fish.
