Billfish Sportfishing offers many options to maximize your day upon the water. A Dusky 233 center console is available for 1- 4 person charters on the near coastal waters, especially the fertile fishing areas found on and around the Watch Hill Reefs and Block Island ledges. This fishing machine is powered by a 225 H.P Mercury Salt Water Series outboard that can venture into the shallows where the big gamefish including striped bass, blues, fluke, scup, and bonito are to be found.

The boat has been thoroughly inspected and was issued a USCG UPV inspection sticker in October, 2011 which signifies that both the vessel and its equipment meet very stringent standards.
In addition, Bill offers his service and knowledge aboard your vessel as a Tournament Captain, tutorial lessons in regards to improving boat handling skills, electronics usage, and insight in regards to improving the 'fishability' of your boat and/or crew.
