Shark Fishing – The Ultimate Ocean Challenge

From early June through early October, the waters off Rhode Island come alive with Sharks — powerful, fast, and thrilling to catch. Aboard the Windy, you’ll experience the adrenaline of taking on these apex predators up close.

Early summer brings Blue Sharks, followed by Makos and Threshers as the water warms. Makos and Threshers are prized for both their fight and their table quality, while Blue Sharks are typically caught and released. We fish them with professional‑grade tackle — from stand‑up 30‑ and 50‑pound setups to heavy offshore outfits ready for anything that shows up in the slick.

Inshore Shark Fishing – Added Excitement

Add some extra action to your inshore Striped Bass or bottom‑fishing trip with shallow‑water sharking, offered at no additional cost. These sharks provide powerful fights on light tackle without the long offshore run.

Offshore Shark Trips – Big‑Game Action

For a true deep‑sea adventure, join us offshore for dedicated shark trips targeting Makos, Threshers, Blue Sharks, and other pelagic species. These trips take you into open‑ocean waters for serious big‑game excitement and unforgettable moments.

Striped Bass & Shark Combos

All shark trips aboard the Windy can be combined with Striped Bass fishing, giving anglers the chance to experience two incredible Rhode Island fisheries in one trip.

Whether nearshore or offshore, shark fishing on the Windy delivers pure offshore adventure — action, variety, and memories that last a lifetime.
