Rhode Island Charter Fishing Boat – Fish On II | Fast, Safe & Fully Equipped
Custom‑Built 32’ Seacraft Designed for Rhode Island Waters
Captain Sheriff’s Fishing Charters operates Fish On II, a custom re‑designed 32’ Seacraft powered by twin 300 HP Mercury Verados. This vessel is engineered for speed, stability, and top‑tier performance in Rhode Island’s inshore and offshore waters.
Precision Marine Fabrication for Superior Performance
Fish On II underwent extensive professional modifications by expert marine fabricators in South Florida who specialize in this iconic center‑console hull. Enhancements include:
-
A fully re‑engineered cut‑out transom raised to the top of the existing transom
-
A custom aluminum twin‑engine bracket for added safety and improved handling in high seas
-
A newly installed live well replacing the original splash well
-
Three total live wells to keep bait fresh throughout the trip
These upgrades boost safety, fuel efficiency, and overall performance—giving anglers a smoother, faster ride to the fishing grounds.
Unmatched Speed on the Water
Fish On II cruises at 32–34 knots and reaches a top speed of 50 knots. That’s 2–3 times faster than many traditional New England‑style charter boats.
More speed means more fishing time, less travel time, and the ability to reach productive grounds before the fleet.
As we like to say: “Do you want to fish, or cut bait.”
Safety, Comfort & Professional‑Grade Equipment
Fish On II is equipped with state‑of‑the‑art Garmin fish‑finding technology, including advanced sonar, chart plotters, and high‑definition radar. This cutting‑edge equipment helps us locate fish quickly and navigate Rhode Island waters with precision and confidence.
U.S.C.G. UPV Safety‑Inspected Charter Boat
Captain Sheriff’s Fishing Charters proudly carries the U.S. Coast Guard UPV (Uninspected Passenger Vessel) Decal, confirming that our vessel has passed a thorough federal safety inspection. This inspection is significantly more rigorous than the standard recreational vessel check, ensuring a safer and more reliable experience for every passenger.

To earn the UPV decal, Fish On II must meet strict safety and documentation requirements, including:
-
Verified navigation light compliance

Required sound‑signaling devices

Properly maintained fire extinguishers
