GIANT BLUEFIN TRIP
Giant bluefin tuna trips are for anglers who want a legitimate shot at a fish of a lifetime. These are true giants—called giants for a reason—with fish that routinely push the limits of gear and crew. Operating out of Branford, CT with additional trips from Montauk and Newport, this program focuses on large-class bluefin using a targeted approach based on conditions, bait, and moon phases. The 62’ Winter’s sonar, Starlink, and Seakeeper give the crew the tools to stay on marks, hold position, and capitalize when the bluefin show. This is a serious big-fish program built for anglers who want to target one of the most powerful gamefish on the planet with a proven, captain-maintained platform.

Charter Gratuity
All giant bluefin tuna trips are catch and release only for guests, even on federally designated harvest days. On such days, the vessel and crew may elect to retain and sell a fish in accordance with regulations. Any proceeds or benefits from a retained fish belong solely to the vessel and crew; charter guests do not participate in any sale or financial return.
Canyon Trips
Canyon trips are built for anglers who want production. These runs target everything the edge has to offer from yellowfin tuna to swordfis, mahi to marlin. The canyons are consistently productive, with tunas especially prevalent, making these trips ideal for groups looking to fill the fish box and fish hard from first light to last. The 62’ Winter’s sonar, Starlink, Seakeeper, and day head make long-range offshore fishing efficient and comfortable, whether you’re running a single-day trip or staying out overnight. This is a straightforward, high-output canyon program designed for anglers who want results and the range to get to the right water.
