Stardust Sportfishing

301 W Cabrillo Blvd, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 · Santa Barbara, CA

Why you should go…

Stardust Sportfishing has operated charter fishing trips from the Sea Landing at Santa Barbara Harbor since Jason Diamond bought the boat Stardust in 1995. The company runs two boats offering half day and three quarter day open party fishing trips along the coast and out to the Channel Islands, targeting rockfish, lingcod, halibut, bass and yellowtail. Boats have a full galley and crew who can clean and fillet the catch.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
