Ratings & Reviews Summary

We had an incredible time with Captain Jay and first mate Matt. While fishing always comes with its uncertainties, having experts like them on board makes all the difference. These guys really know their stuff. We spent the entire day aboard Captain Jay’s boat and were lucky enough to catch and land a stunning Bluefin Tuna—what an adrenaline rush! It’s a memory I’ll cherish forever. I’d gladly fish with Captain Jay any day of the week. Thanks again, guys!

The name "Dead on Sport Fishing" truly says it all! It was exactly the experience my family and I were hoping for. We went on the 12-hour charter aiming for the big Bluefin Tuna, and while we didn’t land one this time, we caught some huge sharks—one of which fought just as hard as a Tuna! Jay and his crew made the entire trip unforgettable, and we’re already looking forward to returning next time we’re in the area. Even though we didn’t catch the big Tuna, the experience was so great that I can’t recommend this charter enough to anyone looking for the thrill of pursuing a Bluefin Tuna!

Captain Jay was incredibly helpful throughout the entire experience. He communicated thoroughly before the trip and tailored the experience to meet our specific preferences. On the boat, he was very knowledgeable and provided top-notch, modern equipment that worked flawlessly. 5/5—definitely booking again for our next trip!

Captain Jay put us on Bluefin multiple times and we even landed a 400lb monster! Everyone had an amazing time. I highly recommend Dead On Sport Fishing.
