Block Island Tuna Fishing: Big Game Offshore

Ready for the tuna trip of a lifetime? Grab your crew and join us for a full day of hard-core offshore action. We're talking 10 solid hours chasing yellowfin, bluefin, and mahi mahi in the deep blue. Our Block Island tuna charters are designed for serious anglers looking to tangle with some of the ocean's top predators. But don't worry if you're new to the game – as long as you've got grit and a sense of adventure, we'll show you the ropes.

What to Expect on the Water

We leave the dock at the crack of dawn – 4 AM sharp. Trust me, you'll want every minute out there once we hit the tuna grounds. We'll run up to 50 miles offshore, so settle in for a nice boat ride as the sun comes up. Once we reach the fishing grounds, it's all hands on deck. We'll set out a spread of lines and keep our eyes peeled for bird activity, temp breaks, and other signs of fish. When a tuna hits, be ready for an all-out battle. These fish don't give up easy, but man, is it worth it when you get one to the boat.

Gearing Up for Giants

No need to worry about tackle – we've got you covered with top-notch rods, reels, and all the bait and lures you'll need. We run heavy conventional setups spooled with braided line to give you the best shot at landing these bruisers. Expect to use a mix of trolling, chunking, and maybe even some popping if the fish are busting on the surface. The key is being ready to adapt our tactics based on what the fish are doing that day.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's nothing quite like the rush of hooking into a 100+ pound tuna. The initial run will have your drag screaming, and the fight can last well over an hour for big fish. But it's not just about the battle – the quality of meat you'll take home is second to none. We process your catch right at the dock, so bring a big cooler. You'll be eating like royalty for weeks. Plus, the camaraderie that builds over a long day on the water is something special. Many of our regulars have formed lasting friendships chasing tuna together year after year.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Yellowfin Tuna: These speedsters are the bread and butter of our offshore trips. Yellowfin in our waters typically range from 30 to 100+ pounds, with some real monsters showing up in late summer. They're known for blistering runs and acrobatic jumps. The meat is prized for sashimi, so yellowfin are a top target for both sport and table fare.

Bluefin Tuna: The kings of the Atlantic, bluefin are the ultimate trophy for many anglers. While less common than yellowfin, when we do hook up with a bluefin, it's an event you'll never forget. These fish can easily top 500 pounds, and the fight is absolutely brutal. Landing a bluefin is a team effort and a true test of skill and endurance.

Mahi Mahi: Also known as dorado or dolphinfish, these are some of the most beautiful fish in the ocean. We often find them near floating debris or weed lines. While not as big as tuna, mahi put on an incredible aerial display when hooked. They're also delicious – mahi tacos are hard to beat after a long day on the water.

Time to Book Your Spot

Our Block Island tuna charters book up fast, especially during peak season from July to October. With a max of 6 anglers per trip, you're guaranteed plenty of time on the rods.
