What the Tuna Trip Provides
- A private charter reserved for your group
- A full 12-hour trip window for travel, locating fish, and fishing

Why Tuna Trips Cost More
Bluefin trips require considerably more time, range, fuel, preparation, and heavy tackle than shorter inshore charters. The crew may leave early, run a substantial distance, and change techniques as the day develops. That operating commitment is why the standard tuna charter is a full offshore day.
