Meet Captain Taylor Brown

Captain Taylor Brown’s connection to the ocean began along the shores of Rhode Island, where early mornings casting lines shaped a lifelong career. Growing up navigating and fishing Narragansett Bay, Taylor developed a profound understanding of the coastal environment and an unmatched knowledge of the region's diverse fisheries. He has spent countless tides studying the exact movements of RI striped bass, bluefish, and offshore tuna. For Taylor, guiding is about more than just putting fish in the cooler; it is about sharing his home waters with guests and making every trip feel like a relaxing day out with a highly knowledgeable friend.

With over eight years of operating premier Rhode Island fishing charters, Captain Taylor has built a sterling reputation rooted in safety, reliability, and technical skill. He holds all necessary United States Coast Guard certifications and goes above and beyond to ensure his operation meets the highest safety standards. Whether he is taking a family out for their very first catch or working with seasoned anglers to refine their light tackle techniques, Taylor adapts seamlessly to the experience level of his crew. His patient, easy-going approach to charter fishing in Rhode Island makes him one of the most trusted and respected guides operating out of Jamestown.

Beyond his daily time on the water, Taylor is an active and dedicated member of the local marine community. He is committed to sustainable practices and actively supports conservation efforts designed to protect the health of all Rhode Island fish populations. He knows that respecting the ocean today guarantees that future generations can enjoy the exact same high-quality fishing. This dedication translates directly to how he runs his trips—always prioritizing the well-being of the fishery while teaching his guests the importance of responsible angling, from proper catch-and-release methods for big stripers to understanding local bait migrations.
