Sakonnet Point Fluke & Seabass Half-Day Charter

Rhode Island Fluke & Seabass (Bankers Hours) 10am -2 pm launches from Sakonnet Point, RI, on Rhode Island’s southeast coast near Little Compton. This four-hour half-day trip is built for anglers who want more time on productive bottom and less time steaming: the boat is the closest to the fishing grounds, which means you’re into taut lines faster and back to shore by midafternoon.

The trip centers on two summer favorites—summer fluke (summer flounder) and black sea bass—targeted over nearby sand flats and mixed-structure reefs. Guests fish with squid and spearing provided by the crew; rod rental, rigs, sinkers, a fishing license, and fish stowage are all included, so beginners can arrive ready to learn and veterans can focus on technique. The captain’s local knowledge of tides and structure drives the day: anglers drift or anchor near edges where sand meets rock, concentrating fish in predictable zones. Rail space is generous, service is attentive, and fares promise an all-inclusive experience with no crowded decks.

This outing is as much about rhythm as it is about catch. The sound of mixed chop, the call of gulls along Sakonnet Point, and the steady work of baiting and casting make a short trip feel like a proper seafaring school. For families and mixed-ability groups the pace is friendly—guides will rig lines and coach on fish handling and knot-tying. Bring layers, sun protection, and non-marking shoes; expect spray on cooler mornings and bright sun on calm afternoons.

Little Compton itself is a quiet coastal town with deep maritime roots; local harbors and lobstering traditions have shaped the community for generations. After the trip you can walk the shoreline near 11 Bluff Head Ave, Little Compton, RI 02837, USA, to stretch legs and inspect the day’s catch. Photography is rewarding: close-range action shots from the rail and wide coastal angles as the boat runs home.

This trip is an efficient option for anglers who want quality time on productive grounds without committing a full day. It’s also a solid choice for first-timers: everything necessary is included and the crew’s regional knowledge amplifies the odds of a good day on the water. Whether you keep a few fish for the pan or release for sport, this half-day run out of Sakonnet Point is a practical, memorable way to fish Rhode Island waters.

Space is intentionally limited—these runs take up to 16 anglers max, so book early during busy summer weekends. The outfit provides squid and spearing bait, a fishing license, and rod rentals, which makes this an easy, ready-to-fish day for kids and new anglers. Expect a clear safety briefing, hands-on crew support, efficient fish storage, and a quick return to shore with a memorable catch.
