The Hot Pursuit & Its Captain
The Hot Pursuit is owned and operated by Captain Charlie Johnson, who has 38 years of offshore fishing experience and has fished Rhode Island waters his entire life. Most of the fishing we do on the Hot Pursuit is offshore for School Tuna, although we catch Dolphin and Billfish at times. Inshore fishing is usually around Block Island, where we catch Stripers, Bluefish, and Fluke. The Hot Pursuit is one of the few charter boats in RI that has the speed and fuel to reach the tuna when they are 70-plus miles out at sea, as they have been for most of the time in the last few years.

My 37-foot Topaz charter boat is docked at Snug Harbor Marina, which is located in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. The boat has twin caterpillars and great stability for fishing the off-shore waters of the Ocean State. All the high tech. electronics to get you out catching fish and back safely is on board. For added safety, there is a life raft as well as an EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon).

It is recommended that offshore trips be switched to inshore if there is little chance of catching tuna that way the party can still enjoy the action of catching fish. Cancellations must be made ten days in advance to be able to have your deposit returned. Weather cancellations are made by the captain, and usually done at dock the day of the trip. If this happens, you have the choice of rescheduling or getting your deposit returned. We can take a maximum of 6 passengers, but 5 or less is comfortable.
