Fullday offshore charter targeting giant Bluefin tunaExpert captain guides guests to prime fishing groundsSmall group capacity accommodates up to four anglers
Looking to tangle with some serious fish off the Massachusetts coast? This 12-hour offshore charter out of Plymouth puts you right in the heart of some of the best Bluefin tuna fishing on the East Coast. From mid-June through December, we're targeting giants in waters that have been producing fish of a lifetime for decades. With just four anglers max, you'll have plenty of room to work and won't be fighting crowds when that fish of your dreams comes calling. Our captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, and trust me, that makes all the difference when you're hunting trophy tuna.
We're talking about a serious day of fishing here – 12 hours gives us the time we need to find the bite and put you on fish. You'll meet at the dock before sunrise, and we'll head straight out to the productive grounds where the big Bluefin have been feeding. The ride out takes us over some of the most productive waters in New England, and once we reach the fishing zones, it's game on. The boat's equipped with top-notch electronics to locate bait schools and mark fish, plus all the heavy tackle you'll need to handle these beasts. Don't worry about bringing your own gear – we've got everything from the rods and reels to the terminal tackle that's proven to work on these fish. The crew will set you up with the right setup and keep you in the fish all day long.
We'll be trolling primarily, covering water and looking for signs of life – diving birds, bait balls, and those telltale surface explosions that get every angler's heart pumping. The captain runs a spread of proven lures and fresh bait that these Bluefin can't resist. When we hook up, it's all hands on deck. These fish will test every ounce of your strength and every bit of the boat's fish-fighting capability. We're talking about fish that can weigh anywhere from 200 to over 600 pounds, so be ready for the fight of your life. The crew will coach you through the battle, help with the tackle, and make sure you land your fish safely. We also keep our eyes open for opportunities to chunk or jig when conditions are right – sometimes the tuna want a different presentation, and we're ready to switch tactics on the fly.
Bluefin tuna are the holy grail of offshore fishing, and the waters off Plymouth host some of the largest specimens on the planet. These fish are pure muscle and attitude, built for speed and endurance that will humble even experienced anglers. Giants typically show up in our area from late June and stick around through December, following massive schools of herring, mackerel, and squid. What makes Bluefin so special isn't just their size – though fish over 400 pounds are caught regularly – it's their raw power and stamina. When you hook one, expect a battle that can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. These fish are known for their long, powerful runs that can strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds, followed by deep dives that test your drag system to its limits. The best part? They're incredibly smart fish that will use every trick in the book to throw your hook, making each hookup a chess match between angler and fish. Peak action typically happens during the cooler months of fall when the tuna are fattening up before their southern migration, but summer fishing can be equally productive when conditions align.
This isn't your typical half-day trip – we're talking about a world-class offshore fishing adventure that puts you in direct contact with some of the ocean's most powerful predators. The 12-hour format gives us the flexibility to chase the bite wherever it takes us, and with only four spots available, you'll have the captain's full attention and plenty of space to fight your fish properly. These Plymouth waters have been producing trophy Bluefin for generations, and our experienced crew knows exactly where to find them and how to get you hooked up. Whether you're an experienced offshore angler looking for your personal best or someone ready to step up to the big leagues, this trip delivers the goods. The season runs from mid-June through December, giving you plenty of opportunities to get out there, but the best dates fill up fast. Don't wait around – these giant Bluefin won't be here forever, and neither will the prime weather windows that make for epic fishing days.
