About Your Trip

If chasing giant Bluefin Tuna is on your bucket list, this offshore adventure is your chance to make it happen. Departing from the dock at 5:00 AM sharp, this trip is designed to get you to the tuna grounds before sunrise, maximizing your chances of hooking into one of the most powerful fish in the ocean. Guests are asked to arrive 15–20 minutes early to ensure an on-time departure, but if the early start is an issue, the crew is happy to work with you—just ask.

This is a deep sea fishing experience built around targeting trophy Bluefin Tuna in their element. The crew starts the day with rigged dead bait (stick bait) and will make a stop along the way to load up on live mackerel. Once on the grounds, the crew continues catching fresh live bait throughout the trip to keep you in the best position for success.

You'll be fishing with Penn International 130 wides, built to handle the size and power of these giants. With the expertise of a seasoned captain and a hardworking first mate by your side, every moment is focused on giving you the best shot at landing the fish of a lifetime. Whether it’s your first big game trip or you're a returning offshore angler, the crew is there to support, instruct, and deliver.

You'll be aboard a fully outfitted sportfishing vessel with all the comfort and tools you need for a long day offshore. Amenities include air conditioning, two bathrooms with showers, a full kitchen, beds for resting, a refrigerator, GPS, radar, fishfinder, outriggers, a flybridge, and an ice box to keep your catch fresh. The live bait well ensures your bait stays frisky and ready for action all day long.

Everything you need is provided on board: rods, reels, tackle, lures, live bait, drinks (including water, coffee, soda, and Gatorade), and fishing licenses for all guests. At the end of the trip, your catch will be cleaned and filleted free of charge. The first mate will handle all rigging, baiting, and cleanup throughout the day, and tipping (typically 8%–20%) is appreciated for their hard work.

If you’re ready for an adrenaline-pumping, rod-bending, full-day pursuit of Bluefin Tuna, this trip is everything you’re looking for. Bring your focus, your questions, and your excitement—this could be the day you land the fish of a lifetime.

How did you get started guiding?
Wanted my dream boat to fish (47 Viking) but they’re expensive to fish. Giving the chance to create a once in a lifetime memory to some people is the best feeling in the world.
What makes you different from other guides?
Myself and crew are younger than most guys. We are still challenging ourselves to do better and be better everyday. Also most guides in the northeast don’t have a boat like us. Being able to sportfish in the cockpit and have a luxurious inside that’s comfortable is a huge bonus.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
