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.

2 couples in our 60s went out and could not have had a better time, Chris was amazing, we caught 28 stripers from 22 inches up to 40, also if your wondering there is plenty of room on the boat.

Will definitely do it again with “keepin it reel sportfishing”.

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.

Captain Chris was great! I wish I had some photos of the Hugh stripers he put us onto. We were a group of four and we all got big fish!. We did a night trip to Block Island. The water was rough but Chris and the boat handled it well !
I would highly recommend Chris.

Genuinely Captain Chris loves what he does. Every time I’m on the boat with him fishing on the Hudson River it is a highlight I’ll never forget. He will put you all on fish. I’ve gone out with him many times and majority have all been nice weather conditions. One time conditions were rough very windy and rainy, Chris still continued to put us over schools of fish, maintaining great bait presentations, etc. He is absolutely dedicated to his craft. You cannot ever go wrong with booking a trip with this guy. He is checking everything the entire trip. He will tell you to watch specific rods at times when he knows a fish is about to strike, he will give recommendations on how to properly handle releasing these beautiful fish, and most of all his trips make you feel fulfilled. If you want to fish with a captain? It’s Chris.
