About Your Trip

Head offshore with Captain Dave and his seasoned crew for a full-day chase targeting one of the most powerful fish in the ocean— Giant Bluefin Tuna. This 12-hour offshore adventure takes you deep into the productive waters of Massachusetts Bay and Stellwagen Bank, home to some of the best Bluefin fishing on the East Coast. Whether you’re after a trophy-class giant or a recreational-sized fighter, this trip is built for big-game anglers looking for an unforgettable challenge.

You'll spend the day aboard the 36’ Everglades center console, a sleek and powerful fishing machine outfitted with triple Yamaha 300 HP engines and advanced Garmin electronics. Designed to handle offshore conditions with speed and stability, this vessel gets you to the grounds quickly and keeps you in the action all day long. It’s the perfect platform for battling tuna, with ample space, smart layout, and the latest tech to help track, locate, and fight these incredible fish.

This trip is run by a close-knit crew of six experienced local fishermen who know the waters like the back of their hands. Captains Dave and Sean lead the charge, backed by a hard-working team including Terry, Joe, Tarran, and John. With decades of combined experience fishing these offshore haunts, the crew brings unmatched local knowledge and professionalism to every charter. They’re passionate about what they do and committed to giving every angler—no matter your experience level—a safe, exciting, and successful day on the water.

From deploying the spread to coaching you through the fight, the team will be with you every step of the way. They’ll provide all the top-tier tackle, gear, and bait you’ll need to go toe-to-toe with a Bluefin. Whether this is your first offshore trip or you're a seasoned tuna veteran, they’ll tailor the experience to suit your goals.

A minimum 20% gratuity is customary and goes directly to the mate, whose job is to work nonstop making sure your day is nothing short of outstanding—from bait prep to gaffing your fish and everything in between.

If you’re ready to step into the ring with one of the ocean’s ultimate predators, this is your chance. Captain Dave and his crew are all in—and you will be too, the moment that rod bends and the reel starts screaming.
