What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

From a Gloucester meet-up to the long transit and drift over offshore tuna grounds, the day is built around the hunt: sustained periods of travel, intense bursts of rod-bending action when tuna are encountered, and contingency for extended time on the water as conditions dictate.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this charter suits—and who should think twice.

2
Bucket-List AdventurersA match for those who want the adrenaline of fighting large pelagic fish under an experienced captain.
3
Families with KidsPossibly suitable: the listing notes 'All ages,' but the full-day offshore nature and physicality of tuna fishing may challenge younger children.
