The Bonita2 is a second generation fishing boat offering full day, half day, and offshore charters. She is a 36’ Hatteras with a crew of over 65 years of experience. Each tour can accommodate up to a maximum of 6 guests from beginner to expert fishermen.

Ed Lombardo has been fly fishing in Rhode Island and Connecticut waters for more than 40 years and is the resident pro at Addieville East Hunting Club and Alton Jones. He offers instruction in how to tie flies, how to cast, and what flies to use depending on season, tides and fish. He will tailor his instruction to the proficiency level of the guests, and guide them to nearby ocean waters for a half-day or full-day fishing experience. All equipment is provided including fly rod, reel, fly line, flies, leaders, and more, and lunch and snacks are also provided. Your personal fishing equipment is welcome as well.
