What types of albacore tuna fishing charters are common?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for albacore tuna as well as nearshore fishing, inshore fishing, and flats fishing.

The most common fishing techniques are trolling, heavy tackle fishing, and bottom fishing but jigging and live bait fishing are popular as well.

How much do albacore tuna fishing charters cost?

Prices for albacore tuna can range anywhere from about $850 to $10,800, but the average price for a half day trip for albacore tuna is $2,491. The average price for a full day trip for albacore tuna is $3,970.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

The most popular season for albacore tuna fishing is spring, and most anglers book their trips 47 days in advance.

    Trip: Offshore Fishing, Panama

  • ★★★★★
    James and Dave provided an amazing experience for our family. They gave us an opportunity to hunt the big trophies and, when they weren't biting, put us on some delicious tilefish. We pulled up fish consistently for a couple hours and went back to trolling for the big one. We weren't able to bag a big tuna or marlin, but James and Dave worked hard to put us on big fish, told great stories, gave us a beautiful boat ride and made sure we caught plenty of fish for the cooler. I'd definitely do it again. It is a long day out, so be prepared for sun and some motion sickness. Pre-dosing sensitive riders is a good idea.

    Captain Dale and his crew were fantastic! Even though the bite was slow we landed our target species a 30lb Mahi-Mahi and a 250-300 lb Blue Marlin.

    Captain Ralph and Mike were super fun guys. They taught us a lot and were a great hang for us on my bachelor party. We reeled in a few decent sized fish, but the whole experience with the Miami skyline made it worth it. Thanks Captain Ralph!
