  Captain Chip and Jay were fantastic. Even in less than ideal conditions, they were doing everything to put us onto fish. We had an incredible time catching a bunch of bluefish and then heading over to catch some seabass for dinner. They treated myself, my daughter, and her boyfriend with the utmost respect and made sure we had a great time. Even though the stripers eluded us today, a fun time was had by all. I highly recommend and would not hesitate to use them again.

  Thank you so much for the more than kind review. Day could of been better, but we did get some food for the table. Was great having you both on the boat.

  Great day on the water

  The captain put us right on top of some fish numerous times resulting in taking home the catch.

  4 hour trip with Chip

  Half Day Trip on August 4, 2023 • 2 adults • 1 child

  So, first off let me first say that Chip had us out there for just about 6 hours; it was a scheduled 4 hour trip. So I decided to take my 10 year old son deep sea fishing. I simply googled “deep sea fishing RI” and a bunch of choices came up. Not knowing anyone of them from personal experience I went with reviews and FEEL. I chose Real Addiction Charters. And I hit the proverbial jackpot. All I can say is WOW!! Chip and his second mate were beyond phenomenal. This guy and the second mate knew their stuff and they provided my son and I with a memory that will live forever. Chip and his second mate were cordial, funny and right there to provide assistance when needed while allowing us as much autonomy as we could handle. And he books in a way where you don’t feel rushed. The fish weren’t biting at first, but that was of no concern to Chip. With his superior knowledge of the sea and amazing equipment (that was very interesting by the way) coupled with the fact he was willing to basically stay out there for AS LONG AS IT TOOK, anyone who charters with him is taking their best chance at a successful and amazingly memorable experience. We already booked another trip with him for next year!! The day we got back. By the way my son caught a sea bass that we kept and Chip flayed it right there on his boat. Hands down Chip is the man.

  Thank you so much for that fantastic review. Glad you both had such a great time! I do want to do whatever it takes to get people on fish, even if it means staying out longer. I consider myself the Captain With A Conscience.
