What types of bigeye tuna fishing charters are common?

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

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

How much do bigeye tuna fishing charters cost?

Prices for bigeye tuna can range anywhere from about $1,200 to $11,500, but the average price for a half day trip for bigeye tuna is $3,744. The average price for a full day trip for bigeye tuna is $4,915.

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.

What month is best for bigeye tuna fishing?

The most popular season for bigeye tuna fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 46 days in advance.

    It wasn’t fishing. It was like winning the lottery. Every time a hook went into the water, a fish would come up. This charter was the best I’ve ever taken. The crew was amazing. The captain knew exactly where to fish. These guys spoiled us.

    Trip: 14 Hour – Offshore Tuna Trip

  • ★★★★★
    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.

    Had a great time with Capt. Jeff & Chris! This is the best boat in Hawaii! Nailed a blue marlin and it was the best experience. We made memories for the rest of our lives. Highly recommend.

    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.
