Discover Rhode Island’s coastal waters with MV Charters and Captain Mike, a lifelong angler who brings local knowledge, patience, and a love of fishing to every trip. Enjoy a private trip shaped around your group’s interests, skill level, and the day’s conditions. Whether you are pursuing a favorite species or learning to use a rod, Captain Mike will keep you comfortable and involved from the moment you step aboard.

Rhode Island’s Atlantic ecosystem supports a wide range of seasonal game fish. Depending on the season, trips may target Striped Bass, Bluefish, Bonito, Scup, Black Seabass, Fluke, Tautog, Bluefin Tuna, Sharks, and other species moving through local waters. Captain Mike matches the method to the season, target, and conditions, using techniques such as trolling, drifting, jigging, and bottom fishing. Every outing is different, and his experience helps your group make the most of the day without promising what nature cannot guarantee.

Families and children are always welcome aboard MV Charters. Captain Mike can adjust the pace and fishing style for younger guests, giving kids a chance to learn, participate, and work toward a memorable first catch. Child-sized life jackets are available. Small groups enjoy the relaxed, private setting.

Your trip takes place aboard a 21-foot Seaswirl walkaround with room for up to four passengers. The boat carries the essentials needed for coastal fishing, while rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided. Your fishing license is covered by the charter, so there is no need to purchase one separately. Some fish are subject to size limits, harvest rules, or closed seasons. Captain Mike will explain current regulations and help everyone fish responsibly.

Bring non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, and a jacket for cool mornings. Two built-in ice boxes are available for your group. Keep another cooler in your vehicle if you plan to take home a legal catch. Bottled water, chips, and snacks are onboard, though you may bring your own food and drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but glass bottles must remain ashore.

Peak season generally runs from May through September, when pleasant weather and active migrations bring anglers to Rhode Island’s coast. Reservations follow a three-day cancellation policy, so check your plans before booking. Choose MV Charters for a hands-on fishing trip guided by local insight and personal service. Book your Rhode Island charter with Captain Mike and enjoy a day built around your group.
