Meet Captain Donald Cook and Captain Cook Charters

Are you ready to meet the captain of your next adventure? Look no further than Captain Donald Cook, owner and operator of Captain Cook Charters in Rhode Island.


From the Captain:

My journey started aboard the Block Island ferries, where I gained valuable experience before transitioning to a career on tugs and barges. For over 35 years, I proudly served as a tugboat captain, honing my skills and navigating the waters with expertise until my retirement in 2021. Fishing has been an integral part of my life, bringing me joy and relaxation. The thrill of reeling in a catch has always fueled my passion, leading me to realize my long-held dream of running a charter boat. Now, as the captain of my own charter boat, I am able to combine my years of maritime experience with my love for fishing, offering guests unforgettable fishing adventures and sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for the sport.


Primarily focusing on bottom fishing, I have engaged in thrilling pursuits of Scup, Black Sea Bass, Weakfish, and Fluke throughout my fishing journey. Additionally, I have ventured into drift fishing techniques for these species. This year, I have set my sights on live bait fishing for Striped Bass and Bluefish, aiming to enhance my angling experiences with these sought-after catches.
