The Beldt Family – Sea Star Sport Fishing Review
I would highly recommend chartering the Sea Star if you are looking to go deep sea fishing out of Southern California. We live in Arizona but try to make it to the San Diego every chance we get – one big reason is we can’t wait to go deep sea fishing! A couple of years ago we contacted Captain Joe and arranged our very first charter to go deep sea fishing. Ever since that trip – we are “addicted” to our family fishing trips and go several times a year. Somehow Captain Joe knows exactly where to go to find the fish. We catch way more than we could ever use and we love bringing back some extra for our neighbors. It would not be uncommon to catch over 100 fish per trip. Really – NOT a fish story!
The crew is amazing! Their service, knowledge, and teaching is what I believe is the true difference when chartering the Sea Star. They taught our family (including my 6 years old daughter and my two teenage sons) how to fish – from choosing the best bait and baiting the hook to setting the hook and reeling them in. They are amazing working with and teaching young children! And best of all, they gave them the gift of “loving to fish!”
Our family deep sea fishing trips with Captain Joe and his crew are some of our most cherished family memories we have. It is one thing our entire family loves to do and the pictures we take and the stories we tell prove it. It is worth every penny – if you are even considering giving it a try – DO IT! You won’t regret it. Just don’t take our spot on the calendar…

Dear Captain Joe,
Our charters on the Sea Star have become a tradition with our family and friends. I don’t believe a cleaner boat exists on our coast and the crew is great. Where else can you find rail service from the galley? Looking forward to our next trip.

Catherine Caudillo – Sea Star Sport Fishing Review
Hi Captain Joe and crew!
I had one of the best experiences of my life so far, and (yes, lol, believe it or not, I’m 45).:) I was a little nervous at first, being my first time out on the ocean, but you and your crew made me very comfortable. I love the ocean and I love fishing out there. I’m sore, but it’s a great sore. You and your team were very supportive, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE and fun! This may sound geeky, but “I’m hooked”!!!!!!! I have to reel in that big one, even if it is the Black Sea Bass and I have to throw him back, lol. I’m looking forward to my fish fry, tomorrow!
Thanks, again, Captain Joe, James, Steve and Dutch! I’ll be back very soon!

Gary E. Gilley – Sea Star Sport Fishing Review
Dear Captain Joe,
I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much our company enjoyed the four fishing trips we scheduled on the Sea Star last year. As you know, we took 20 or 30 customers on each trip and you and your crew did a great job helping us with any of our needs. We are always looking for good promotions for our customers and we’ve found the best one is to take them fishing on the Sea Star. I’ll be contacting you real soon to arrange future charter dates.

Michael O’Rourke – Sea Star Sport Fishing Review
I always book the Sea Star for my charter trips because Joe and his crew understand the meaning of “customer satisfaction.” The boat is exceptionally well maintained with great food, but most importantly, the crew is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I really appreciate the time and patience they provide for the novice fishermen. Best of all, you catch fish aboard the Sea Star because Captain Joe knows where they are and how to get them!

David M Thomas – Sea Star Sport Fishing Review (April, 2010)
Dear Captain Joe,
I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent service provided by you and the crew of the Sea Star throughout the years. You run an absolutely top notch operation and the Sea Star is an outstanding vessel for both private sport fishing charters and ocean memorial services.
After nearly 50 years of salt water fishing off Southern California, I can truly say there is no finer charter boat operation available in terms of professional treatment, work ethic and personal attention to giving your customers a fantastic experience on the water. Thank you again for all the great Sea Star memories and I look forward to fishing with you and your fine crew soon!
