Had a great time with Tuna Tails Charters. Captain John and First Mate George know where the fish are hiding and how to catch them! The boat is beautiful, the guys are knowledgeable and friendly. Can’t wait to go out with them again!

Captain John and first mate George are the best. Our party of four had a great time fishing and catching! We caught several species of fish: haddock, cusk, whiting, white hake(mud hake), Arcadian red fish and cod...even saw some whales We couldn't keep the cod but did take home some sizable haddock and whiting and the cusk. We plan to return to Gloucester Harbor, Cpt. John & first mate George, and F/V Lobster Tales. And we will bring a bigger cooler!
