I always take my grandchildren on a special date for their birthdays instead of giving them a gift. This was a 3-way combination date for some of my grandsons who have birthdays that are close. Since we could have up to 6 people on the boat, we included a couple more of my grandsons. They ranged in age from 9 - 17.
Captain John took good care of us and his first mate, Chris was awesome! He connected really well with my grandsons and told them some great stories. He was a character.
The ride out to Block Island was pretty choppy resulting in all but one of us getting pretty seasick. My thought was that the boys were miserable and I was feeling pretty badly about it. But everyone rallied and recovered and ultimately all of them caught some great fish and they had a wonderful time!!
It was definitely a date that would go down in infamy and if nothing else, they will always remember the time that Nana took them on a date and everyone got sick.

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our four-hour charter with John and Chris, who work exceptionally well together and have a wonderful camaraderie that makes you feel like you are with friends. We caught a LOT of fish and always had the help we needed. We highly recommend JL Charters and would definitely book with them again. Thank you, John and Chris!

Captain John and his first mate Chris were fantastic!  We started catching fish immediately and had so much fun.  Captain John is very experienced and made us feel safe and comfortable.  He was able to find many good spots for us to catch lots of fish. The boat was clean, spacious and had enough room to keep us out of the wind and dry.  Chris engaged with us the entire trip and assisted any angular that needed extra help.  He cleaned and packaged all our fish before we returned to the dock.  A great day!  I definitely recommend this boat and crew.  Thanks John and Chris.

Captain John and Mate Chris where first class and treated us like family. The Boat was very clean and comfortable.  John and Chris made sure each of us caught fish, and took extra time with our two Boys making the trip special. We will definitely book again.

Captain John and First Mate Chris provided an excellent adventure. We caught several big blues and huge strippers. We had an amazing afternoon - would highly recommend this crew and boat. Thank you again Captain John!
