Rhode Island is renowned for its diverse and abundant marine life, and its offshore waters provide anglers with some of the best fishing in the Northeast. A short ride from the coast opens up a vast, productive fishing ground teeming with a variety of species, from trophy-sized striped bass and bluefish to the prized tuna, mahi-mahi, and sharks of the deep.

The waters off Rhode Island’s coast are known for their rich biodiversity, with the continental shelf and deep-water canyons providing the perfect habitat for both migratory and resident fish. The Gulf Stream and cold-water currents meet in this region, creating an ideal environment for catching some of the most sought-after species in the Atlantic.

Popular Fish Species Include:

• Bluefin Tuna: Rhode Island is a hot spot for these giants, especially during the late summer and fall months. Known for their powerful fight, they’re a true test of an angler’s skill. 
• Striped Bass: A favorite among anglers, these fish can be found in offshore waters year-round, with peak seasons in spring and fall. They’re known for their aggressive strikes and are a thrilling catch. 
• Sharks: Rhode Island is home to several shark species, including mako, thresher, and great whites. For anglers seeking a real adrenaline rush, shark fishing off the Rhode Island coast is an unforgettable experience. 
• Bluefish: Known for their hard fight and erratic behavior, bluefish are common in Rhode Island’s offshore waters, especially during spring and fall.
   

Fishing from a Rhode Island charter boat offers easy access to these offshore fisheries, with the opportunity to explore both productive fishing grounds close to shore and the deep-water canyons farther out. Whether you're trolling for giant tuna or bottom fishing for a variety of species, Rhode Island’s offshore waters offer a thrilling experience for anglers of all levels.
