Sakonnet Lobster Co.

Business Overview

Founded by Jim Mataronas III in 1972, Sakonnet Lobster began when he built a 40-foot boat named ‘Sunny Jim’. Now owned and run by his sons, James IV made international news when he caught a one-of-a-kind, mottled brown and bright red lobster, off Newport, R.I. in 2007. The chances of catching that were one in 50 million!

Sakonnet Lobster is open year-round, offering only the freshest native-caught Atlantic lobster and rock crabs!

Sakonnet Point is where so many Rhode Island residents depend on the sea for their livelihood and for recreation. And summers mean traditional visits to the popular family-owned business for fresh lobsters!

If it were possible to line up the tens of thousands of lobsters of Little Compton has trapped, handled, sold and distributed in its 39 years of existence, it would stretch hundreds of miles into the Atlantic Ocean!
