Inshore Fishing Charters Newport

Set sail from Newport, RI, and discover some of the best inshore fishing along the New England coast. Our charters offer a short, scenic ride from the harbor to rich fishing grounds, where Captain Kelly customizes each trip based on the season’s top species and your personal goals. Whether you’re after a day filled with action, a peaceful cruise with lines in the water, or fresh seafood to take home, we’ll craft a Newport fishing experience to remember.

Every angler enjoys the use of premium rods and tackle, with the flexibility to troll, jig, or bottom fish depending on conditions. The waters off Newport are known for abundant striped bass, black sea bass, fluke, and scup. Thanks to our top-tier equipment and local expertise, your chances of hooking a memorable catch are always strong.

On deck, First Mate Gib Randall, a USCG-certified captain with more than 10 years of experience, provides personal guidance to ensure everyone feels confident and engaged. From helpful tips to fine-tuning your skills, Gib is dedicated to making your day enjoyable and rewarding. All catches are immediately bled and iced for maximum quality, and when we return to shore, Gib’s expert filleting ensures your fish is cleaned, packed, and ready for the table. (Please note: Tuna and shark are filleted at the dock as required by law.)

OFFSHORE FISHING TRIPS NEART NEWPORT

Looking to elevate your fishing experience? Our offshore and overnight fishing charters from Newport are crafted for anglers eager to take on the Atlantic’s most exciting big-game challenges. Leaving the nearshore waters behind, we venture far offshore to the legendary Canyons, where deep blue waters hold some of the ocean’s most prized sportfish.

During these extended adventures, you’ll target hard-fighting pelagic species such as:

  • Bluefin Tuna

  • Yellowfin Tuna

  • Bigeye Tuna

  • Mahi Mahi (Dolphin Fish)

  • Wahoo

  • Golden Tilefish

  • And with a little luck, Blue Marlin or White Marlin

For those drawn to the depths, we’re ready with high-powered electric reels for deep-drop fishing. We’ll send your bait over 1,000 feet down in search of the elusive swordfish, lurking in the dark waters below.

These overnight trips offer more than just fishing—they’re an unforgettable deep-sea journey combining adrenaline-pumping action with the breathtaking beauty of the open ocean. Whether you’re on the hunt for your trophy catch or testing your skills against powerful predators of the deep, C-Devil II Sportfishing promises a world-class offshore adventure you won’t forget.
