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.

Captain Chip was fantastic and we had a wonderful time out on our charter.  We lost count of the number of fish we caught, but we caught striped bass less than 28” and some over 34” so we didn’t get any keepers.  We did keep 3 of the bluefish we caught and they were big and tough fighters.  Captain Chip knows his way around Aquidneck Island and it was funny watching others follow him/us as we kept catching fish!  My friend and his son from PA both commented many times on how this was the best fishing trip they had ever been on.  All thanks to Captain Chip.  He was fantastic with 12 year old Andrew.  We bottom fished with eels, used bobbers, umbrellas, etc.  Tried all types of poles and setups and were delighted with how many fish we got on the lines.  Would highly recommend Reel Addiction Charters.

Captain chip and mate Paul were phenomenal. We started trolling for striper and caught two nice ones right off the bat, the winds picked up and seas got rough so we headed into the bay and fished for tautog and sea bass. We caught a ton of both and took home a cooler full of fish. This charter is phenomenal, great conversations, great experience, they showed us landmarks, famous houses on our way out, put us on the fish. Plenty of live bait. It was a great experience even with all that Mother Nature threw at us !!  We will be back again!!

Great team of Captains! Long time friends, fishermen and residents. We learned a ton while spotting fish and making successful catches all morning, all while laughing and enjoying a beautiful weather day. Lures were a combination of fake and live bait. They come prepared to come home with fish!

My son and I had a great experience with Chip and Jay.  They really know all the ins and outs of the area, the fish, and what to do in different weather conditions.
