Keepin It Reel Sportfishing – New London 

★★★★★ Captain Chris from Keeping It Real Fishing Charter out of Connecticut delivered one of the best fishing trips I’ve ever experienced. From the moment we got lines in the water, it was nonstop tuna action. If you’re looking for incredible tuna fishing, this is the charter to book. Not only was the fishing amazing, but the entire trip was unforgettable. We were surrounded by incredible ocean wildlife — dolphins swimming alongside the boat and even whales in the distance. The scenery alone would have made the trip worth it, but the constant action made it even better. Captain Chris is extremely experienced and knowledgeable. He took the time to teach techniques, explain what we were doing, and make sure everyone was comfortable and involved. Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time tuna fishing, he makes sure you learn and have a great time. He had absolutely everything we needed on the boat — all the gear, equipment, and knowledge to make the trip successful — and somehow still offers some of the most affordable charter prices around. Landon, the first mate super helpful, fun to be around, and kept the energy high the entire trip. He made everything  smooth and the whole experience even better. Between the nonstop action, amazing wildlife sightings, Captain Chris’s expertise, Landon’s great attitude, and the great price, this was easily a five-star experience. Highly recommend Keeping It Real Fishing Charter if you want an unforgettable tuna fishing trip.

I’ve been on multiple offshore tuna trips with Capt. Chris and Keepin it Reel throughout the 2024 & 2025 seasons. Most recently on 10/4/25. Always an excellent time. Capt. Chris and his mates run a top notch operation. Capt. Chris is knowledgeable and proficient on every style of tuna fishing. Capt. Chris works hard to put his clients on fish and makes sure they leave with a smile. Hope to see you again soon Capt.

Nothing short of a well oiled machine on Keepin' It Reel. Captain Chris & crew do whatever it takes to put you on the fish. Whether you've been fishing for years or taking your kid out for the first time Chris is patient and more than willing to share tips and tricks to get it done. Both boats are up too date with nothing but the best gear and electronics and Chris and crew are great all around people both professionally and personally.

Always a good time with Captain Chris and crew! Chris always works hard to make sure you're in the best case scenario to catch. Down to earth and easy going and extremely knowledgeable as well! Never have anything negative or discouraging on a trip with Keepin" It Reel, whether striper fishing on the hudson, or off shore in the canyons always laughing, and having a good time!
