Amazing fishing trip. Great captain, and daughter Mate is outstanding ! They both gave exceptional instruction & support. Gorgeous, immaculate boat. we had so much fun. Been on lots of these types of fishing charters all over. This one was by far the best. Can’t wait to climb aboard again next time we visit Newport.
This was the best fishing charter experience Ive ever had. It was the perfect day and outing for my friends bachelorette weekend kickoff. We want to start coming back every year and absolutely do a charter with them when were here
Captain Joe and First Mate Coral were phenomenal! Their experience shows in every action they do. We went out yesterday morning and caught our limit on Stripped Bass within 45 minutes. Before the day was over we had our coolers full. They put in extra work for my 7yo to make sure his experience became a memory. We enjoyed the charter so much, I just booked another trip in a couple weeks!
Captain Joe and Coral where great crew. We had a lot of fun caught plenty of fish. We would definitely do another trip.
We’ve been out on a few different charters in RI and Sara Star is by far the best. Captain Joe and First Mate Coral are super knowledgable, friendly, great with kids, and provide everything needed for a perfect day on the water. We caught stripers, sea bass, and even a thresher shark! Can’t wait to join them again.
What an experience! What a boat!Captain Joe and Coral really know exactly what they are doing. We had a fantastic time fishing and seeing the sights around Newport Harbor. A wonderful multispecies trip, we caught some big fat stripers, then we did some bottom fishing and caught a pile of black sea bass, scup, and even a flounder and a dog fish! After we bottom fished for a while, we came BACK around for some more stripers and caught another big fat one! I also really appreciated how Captain Joe and Coral take conservation of the fisherie seriously, and want to fish sustainably. We caught a 42 striper and made sure we did what we could to revive it as well as tag and register it for research!Cant say enough good things about them, and I am fairly certain we will be booking with them every year they are available.Thank you again Joe & Coral!
A great experience!!! My wife and I did a half-day with Joe and had an amazing time. He walked us through the techniques and made it easy for us to get the hang of things. We caught tons of fish and took home great filets. Thanks for everything! If youre looking for a fishing charter in Newport, this is the one you want.
Great trip with Joe and Cody. Took our family of 5 out for a morning fish. They were very friendly and informative, showed us the proper way to fish, both trolling for stripers and blues and then dropped lines for bass. Wonderful time. Would highly recommend. Bring a good sized cooler for your fish
Myself and 2 friends went out for an afternoon charter and had an amazing time. Capt. Joe and 1st Mate Coral were absolutely awesome. We did some trolling and ground fishing. We caught a bunch of fish and Capt. Joe filleted the keepers for us when we hit the dock. I would highly recomend calling Sara Star Charters for next fishing trip out of Newport!
Had a fabulous time catching Tautog with captain Joe. He put us on fish and kept us reeling in fish the entire trip. Great customer service. I would highly recommend captain Joe!
We had an amazing time fishing with Captain Joe and Coral - both are rock stars who KNOW and are very GOOD at what they do. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. :) We cant wait to go fishing again with them!
Could not ask for a better day!!! Weather was awesome and so was everything else about our fishing trip!!! This was a birthday gift to my 11 year old son along with the rest of our family. From first moment to last, it was an absolute please to be aboard the Coral Rose with Captain Joe and his extremely talented and patient daughter Coral. All together we caught about 30 fish, thank you again guys for a perfect afternoon!!! We already reschedule to go again...
We loved our charter fishing experience with Joe and Coral. Our group was split amongst more experienced and two first timers. Our catch was more than expected and what a wonderful time for us all. We will definitely do again!!! Nancy
Amazing day! Caught so many fish! Captain Joe was a great teacher and truly knowledgeable. Coral was awesome and so helpful! So much fun!
My boyfriend and I booked last minute on a weekend trip to Newport and this was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip!! Joe and coral were awesome and knew how to entertain and were fishing magnets! Was an awesome experience and will definitely be coming back!!
Wonderful fishing trip! Can’t wait to eat our fresh catch tonight.
Joe and Coral are the best around. This is my 4th charter and I don’t remember the other charters’ names! Really! They are THAT good! Professional, hard-working, competitive, and fun! Great sense of humor and great music! They have a true passion for finding YOU the fish. It was an action packed day for my whole family that we will NEVER forget! I’m already planning my next trip! This is the only boat I will trust to put me on the meat. I’m hopeful to catch an abundance of species on the Coral Rose!
Joe took my wife and I out on a miserable day, windy, rainy, real sloppy seas. the boat, a Downeaster just cuts through the crud and kept us comfortable. we had our limit of striper in 20 minutes. Then we bottom fished for Sea Bass and joe kept chunking mackerel and brought in stripers which we caught and released on light tackle. got our limit of sea bass as well. will surely go back.
My boyfriend and I recently chartered a half day with Sara Star. We had an incredible trip with Captain Joe! He’s extremely knowledgeable and does his best to make sure you have a successful catch. He had a great playlist going which we loved. We had an absolute blast. Look no further!
Took a trip to Newport and without a doubt fishing with Captain Joe was the highlight! He’s a great fisherman, down to earth, and humble! Loved his company and it was an incredible experience! We are making a second trip this fall just to do it again. Thank you Joe and the crew! (John and Coral!)
Went out yesterday with my husband, two sons, and our nephew.... we had an amazing day! The captain and his daughter were awesome, and patient, and helpful, and we caught some great fish. It was definitely worth it! My husband is already trying to find a time to go out again with a friend.
My son had an awesome time on this Charter! He caught a couple good size fish that he filleted up for us and we had a great dinner that night!! An unforgettable experience for my son!
Every time I go to Newport to visit family, we go out with Joe and Coral. Weve been out with them twice and, both times, we have had an absolute blast! We are already planning our trip for next year.If you enjoy catching big fish, do yourself a favor and book this charter. You wont be disappointed.
Captain Joe and his daughter first mate Coral Are the best duo on the water ! I have been on many fishing charters around the world and not one has came close to the expierence I had with Sara star fishing charters! You guys were great and I will be back! If you’re in Newport and want to fish pay them a visit you will not regret it
A Fantastic day on the water Capt Joe and Mate Coral. These guys do a great job, any level of fisherman will enjoy a day on the water with these guys.They know where the fish are, and they are constantly changing until they find a spot, bait, or technique that works that day.Highly recommend going out with these guys
We had an awesome experience catching stripers and sea bass with Captain Joe! He knows exactly where the fish are, is a great teacher, and very down to earth! He truly made our weekend in Newport! Thank you so much Joe and crew! We will be back soon to do it again.
Great time. Very knowledgeable and had a great experience. We had a mix group, two couples, some with experience in fishing and others first time fishing.Learned a lot - would definitely come back next year.
Our family had great time, we limited out on Taug. Hard working captain and mate (father & daughter), perfect family fun! We’ll definitely be doing this again, exciting new family tradition!!
Awesome fishing trip with Joe and Coral! This was definitely the best part of my trip to Newport. Highly recommend to anyone considering a fishing charter.
No captain and crew work harder than Captain Joe and his first mate Coral at finding fish. He went to where the fish were both trolling and dropping anchor near a ledge. Thanks for a fun morning of fishing Capt Joe!
Don’t go anywhere else for fishing in Newport. This is the one and only place to charter for your next fishing excursion. Very friendly and they know exactly where the fish are located.We will be calling them again the next time we are in Newport.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Captain Joe and first mate Coral are hands down the best duo! Thank you guys for a great time in newport! I will be seeing you guys again soon!! Ps thanks for the awesome fish for dinner !!! It was great!
Amazing time! We caught many fish including striper and sea bass. I also caught the largest fish of my life, a 35lb striper!!! Best day on the water ever
