Whether you're a first-timer or a lifelong angler, you're in good hands from the first cast to the final reel-in.
The coastal waters around Newport are home to a wide variety of prized species. Depending on the season, you could hook into Black Seabass, Scup (Porgy), Tautog, Bluefish, Flounder, or the ever-popular Striped Bass. With light tackle and bottom fishing techniques, the action stays hands-on and accessible for all skill levels. Captain Jim will tailor each trip to the season, tides, and guest preferences to give you the best possible shot at landing something memorable.
Planning a family outing? These private fishing trips in Newport Rhode Island are great for all ages, and kids are more than welcome aboard. If you’re bringing little ones and don’t have a child-sized life jacket, simply check ahead—safety gear can be provided. You're also encouraged to bring snacks to keep everyone energized throughout the day, though light refreshments will be available on board.
You'll be fishing from a 36-foot sportfishing vessel built for comfort and performance. Outfitted with outriggers, modern equipment, and a private toilet for convenience, this boat comfortably fits up to six guests. Everything you need—rods, reels, tackle, and lures—is provided, and a professional First Mate will be on hand to assist and enhance your fishing experience. While tips aren’t required, it’s customary to offer 15–20% for their hard work and support.
Bingo Sportfishing covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up with a positive attitude and a few essentials: bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray recommended). Alcohol is permitted in moderation (no hard liquor or glass bottles, please), and you’re welcome to bring your own drinks if desired. Ready to find the fish with your name on it? Newport’s waters are calling—and Bingo Sportfishing is ready to take you there.
