Meet the Sorry Charlie: A Beast Built for Big Game

The Sorry Charlie is a 35-foot custom Henrique’s sport fishing machine, fully loaded and ready to dominate the deep sea. With a massive 2000lb fish hold, green stick, bandit reels, and the latest Garmin electronics, this boat is tailor-made for serious offshore action. It’s a vessel that’s seen it all—and won.

Backed by a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain and a seasoned crew, every trip is a blend of professional precision and unforgettable fun. The boat has also been fished both charter and commercial for decades off Long Island—earning a reputation not only for performance but for consistent results.
