Bluefin Tuna Fishing in New England

Chase Giants Off the Historic New England Coast

Ready for the fight of a lifetime? Climb aboard for an unforgettable offshore adventure targeting one of the most powerful and prized fish in the world — the Atlantic bluefin tuna. From Cape Cod to the Gulf of Maine, New England is home to one of the most productive tuna fisheries on the planet, and we’ll take you straight to the action. Whether you’re a seasoned offshore angler or checking a giant off your bucket list, our bluefin tuna charters deliver world-class excitement on the open ocean.

Why Fish for Bluefin Tuna in New England?

Each season, massive schools of bluefin migrate through New England waters in search of baitfish like mackerel, herring, and squid. These fish range from 50-pound school tuna to 1,000+ pound giants, and they’re known for blistering runs, deep dives, and adrenaline-pumping battles. Our charters put you on the bite in some of the Northeast’s most productive tuna grounds, including:

  • Stellwagen Bank
  • Cape Cod Bay
  • Jeffreys Ledge
