Bluefin Tuna Charters

From giants to school-sized fish, our Cape Cod tuna charters put you on the action with top of the line gear and an Cape Cods top captain and crew.

Cape Cod is world-renowned for its bluefin tuna fishery. Each season, anglers travel from across the country to experience the thrill of battling one of the ocean’s strongest predators. With access to Stellwagen Bank, Cape Cod Bay, and offshore grounds, Tighten Up Charters puts you in the middle of the action.

Tuna season runs from mid-June through October, when the migration brings both giants and school tuna to Cape waters. This is the prime window to book a trip for the best chance at success.
