California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently announced that California may completely reopen all businesses by June 15, 2021. This is contingent upon the number of people fully vaccinated and Covid-19 hospitalization rates remaining low. Please check back for increased passenger capacities and adjusted pricing as we approach June 15, 2021.
Owned and operated by veteran Oceanside skipper Captain Joe Cacciola, The Sea Star is a private group charter boat. We fish from Oceanside Harbor, about 45 minutes north of San Diego, California.

What We Fish For
At Sea Star Sport Fishing Charters near San Diego we have the experience and expertise to help put you on the fish in some of the South Coast’s most productive waters, ranging from Dana Point south to La Jolla. Depending on seasonal conditions, we may fish the local kelp beds and rocky reefs or range offshore to chase exotic species over the outer banks. We find the fish.
During our prime Oceanside sport fishing season from April on into November, the day’s catch can consist of calico bass, sand bass, bonito, mackerel, barracuda, yellowtail, halibut, sculpin, sheephead, and rockfish. Tuna may be available if favorable conditions prevail during the summer months. Tropical yellowfin tuna, skipjack, and dorado can swim within range during warmer water or “El Nino” years. During the winter months, we enjoy truly exceptional bottom fishing for rockfish.
