The Sea Star
The Sea Star is a 60-foot by 20-foot fishing machine driven by Oceanside veteran skipper, Captain Joe Cacciola.

The boat is an all fiberglass construction powered by twin 315 horsepower V8 diesels giving her the capability of cruising at a fast 12 knots. The Sea Star can accommodate groups of up to 45 people and all are welcome – experienced and novice alike.

Food and beverage service is available from the excellent galley on board. Anglers may not bring any alcoholic beverages including beer or ice chests aboard.

What We Fish For
Sea Star Sports Fishing has 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 the conditions, Sea Star may fish the local kelp beds and "clam beds," or range up to 50 miles offshore to chase exotic species over the outer banks.

During the prime 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 various other fish. Albacore or bluefin tuna may be available if favorable conditions prevail during the summer months, and yellowfin tuna, skipjack, and dorado can swim within range during warmer water or "El Niño" years. Sharks – blue, mako, and thresher – can also be targeted from May through October, and during the winter months, we enjoy truly exceptional bottom fishing for rockfish, cow cod, and lingcod.
