Tuna & Large Game Fishing
For the experienced angler, this adrenaline-pumping trip is a must. We travel further offshore to target bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, dorado, and more.
Southern California has seen outstanding bluefin tuna fishing in the past decade, with fish ranging from 100 to over 200 pounds. With only 6 fishermen onboard, this is a rare opportunity to land a trophy catch in comfort and style.
We recommend 1.5-day to 2.5-day charters for the best success in deeper waters. Call for availability, pricing, and fishing reports. The best months for tuna fishing are July, August, and September.
Specialty Swordfish & Marlin Fishing
Our local waters hold a well-kept secret—a strong population of swordfish and marlin.
- Swordfish — Targeted year-round using deep drop baiting or harpoon techniques.
- Marlin — Highly seasonal but an exhilarating catch when in season.
These trips offer an unmatched thrill and are perfect for anglers looking for a challenge and a trophy catch.
Call for pricing and fishing reports. Let's chase the big ones and make you the envy of your fishing buddies!
