World-Class Tuna Fishing Charters in Montauk NY

Tuna Fishing Adventure in Montauk NY

Hey there, fellow anglers! If you're itching for some serious offshore action, boy do I have the trip for you. Our 12-hour tuna fishing charter out of Montauk is the real deal. We're talking about battling big bluefin, yellowfin, and albacore tuna up to 30 miles offshore. This ain't your average day on the water - it's a full-on tuna hunt that'll test your skills and maybe even your biceps. So grab your sea legs and let's dive into what makes this trip a must-do for any serious fisherman.

Trip Overview

Alright, here's the skinny on our extended day trip. We kick off at the crack of dawn - 3 AM to be exact. Yeah, I know it's early, but trust me, those pre-dawn hours are golden for tuna fishing. This trip runs from May 15th to November 30th, Monday through Friday. We can take up to six eager anglers out on our comfortable boat, which has plenty of room in the cockpit for everyone to fish comfortably. The price tag is $2,600, and just a heads up, it's customary to tip the first mate 20% for their hard work. Now, I won't sugarcoat it - this is a long day on the water. We're out there for 12 solid hours, so come prepared with snacks, drinks, and maybe even a pillow for the ride out. But let me tell you, when you're hooked up to a 100+ pound tuna, you'll forget all about being tired.

What to Expect on the Water

Listen up, because this is where the rubber meets the road - or should I say, where the line meets the water. We're not messing around with small fry here. We're going after the big boys - bluefin, yellowfin, and albacore tuna. These fish are like freight trains with fins, and hooking into one is an experience you won't soon forget. We'll be using top-notch tackle, because when you're dealing with fish this size, you need gear that can take a beating. We'll likely be doing a mix of trolling and chunking, depending on what the fish are biting on that day. Don't worry if you're new to this kind of fishing - our experienced crew will show you the ropes. Just be ready to reel when that rod goes off, because these tuna don't play around.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the rush of a tuna run. When those reels start screaming and everyone's scrambling to their rods, it's pure adrenaline. But it's not just about the fishing - it's about the whole experience. Watching the sunrise over the Atlantic, the camaraderie of working together to land a big fish, and the satisfaction of bringing home some of the best-tasting fish in the ocean. That's why our customers keep coming back year after year. Sure, some days the fish might not cooperate, but when they do... man, it's something special. And even on the slow days, you're still out on the water, soaking in the beauty of the open ocean. It's a win-win in my book.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Alright, let's talk tuna. We're targeting three main species on this trip: Bluefin, Yellowfin, and Albacore. Each one brings its own excitement to the table.

Bluefin Tuna: These are the heavyweights of the tuna world. We're talking fish that can easily top 500 pounds, though most of what we catch are in the 100-300 pound range. Bluefin are known for their incredible power and endurance. Hooking into one of these beasts is like trying to stop a runaway truck. They're most active in our waters from late spring through fall, with the peak season usually being July to September. The fight with a bluefin can last hours, and it's an experience that'll test every ounce of your fishing skills.

Yellowfin Tuna: Also known as "footballs" due to their shape, yellowfin are prized for both their fight and their flavor. They're typically smaller than bluefin, averaging 30-100 pounds in our area, but what they lack in size they make up for in speed and acrobatics. These guys are known for their blistering runs and aerial displays. We usually see the best yellowfin action from mid-summer through fall. If you're lucky enough to hook one, get ready for some of the best sashimi you've ever tasted.

Albacore Tuna: Don't let their smaller size fool you - albacore, or "longfin" tuna, put up one heck of a fight. These guys typically range from 15-30 pounds and are known for their long, powerful runs. Albacore tend to show up in our waters later in the season, usually from late summer into fall. They're often found in schools, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious. Plus, they're arguably the best-tasting of all the tunas - perfect for grilling or searing.
