You're on a deep sea sportfishing charter aboard the Tuna Duck. She's a 50' custom built sportfisherman, constructed especially for what she does: stalking the yellowfin and bluefin tuna, dolphin (mahi), wahoo, sailfish, and blue and white marlins that inhabit the deep blue water on the edge of the Gulf Stream.

In an hour to an hour and a half, you will see the ocean turn from green-blue to the deep blue of the Gulf Stream and you'll put lines in the water to troll for the big ones...yellowfin and other species of tuna, dolphin (mahi), wahoo for your grill. You will have a chance to catch a blue marlin, white marlin, or a sailfish and experience the thrill of a catch and release of one of these magnificent fish, returning to the dock with flags flying.

We leave at dawn and typically return to the dock between 4 and 5 pm. All tackle and bait are furnished. We have the fishing permits needed. We operate a "Six Pack Charter;" per Coast Guard regulations, we can take from 1 to 6 passengers. Rarely, if ever, can we put people together to share the cost of a charter. Our customers make up their own parties to share the cost of the boat for the day.
