Your fishing adventure starts on the F/V "OpporTunaty," a 42' Bruno Stillman working fishing vessel that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat features a toilet and an ice box. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you'll need for a productive day on the water, as well as all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. There will be complimentary water onboard, and you're welcome to bring your preferred drinks for the trip.
After the trip, you'll share all the spoils with the crew. Specifically, you'll keep all legally allowed fish except market-sized Tuna. If a saleable tuna is caught a discount will be applied to the trip's price. For more details, please get in touch with the captain. A first mate will be there to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated. Feel free to bring your children to share these memories with.

Incredible day of fishing!
After many hours of catching redfish, Pollock, mackerel, and cod. as we kept on fishing for the fun, smaller fish. Luke throughout a tuna rod just for the heck of it within about 15 minutes the rod started pulling off the reel started screaming! oh my gosh, we had one on. An incredible fight ensued. After over an hour of getting him to the boat twice and getting to see him crest one time he looks like something prehistoric. Our guide, who commercial for bluefin tuna approximated that it was about 600 pounds and 7 1/2 feet long. We were gonna have to release him anyway, because the season for recreational fishing was over. This season for commercial fishing was only certain days of the week in order to keep their fishing grounds in good health. The tune ran out the line again and DJ reeled, him back in to the boat as he got close to the boat Luke said he will either be tired enough that we could get a good picture of him in the water and release him or he would dive straight down and spin enough that his fin would cut the line. Unfortunately, that is what happened and you could see the end of the line was bent. but wow one an amazing day and one an adventure. We would highly recommend going out with Luke. In fact we were scheduled to do another day, but it was too windy to go out.

Fantastic Family Fishing Trip with Captain Luke!
We went out with Captain Luke of Fish Acadia on June 30, 2025, for a ground fishing trip targeting Pollock, and it was an unforgettable experience for our whole family—my wife and I and our four kids. From the start, Captain Luke made everyone feel comfortable and excited for the day ahead. On our way to the fishing grounds, he took us to a local island where we got to see seals lounging on the rocks—an unexpected and really fun bonus. Once we got fishing, the action didn’t disappoint. We ended the day with an impressive haul of 52 fish, mostly Pollock, which kept everyone engaged and having a blast. Captain Luke was especially great with the kids—patient, encouraging, and eager to teach them not just about fishing techniques, but also about the local marine life and ecosystem. To top it all off, we got to haul in four lobsters from his traps, which made for a delicious dinner and a great capstone to the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Captain Luke runs a top-notch operation, and we’d absolutely recommend Fish Acadia to anyone looking for a memorable and family-friendly fishing adventure around Mount Desert Island.

Full Maine Experience
What an amazing day we had with Captain Luke and his first mate Ryan!! My the kids, wife and I booked the all day custom fishing trip and we could not have asked for a better Maine experience. We caught 3 halibut (1 we were able to keep), several other species of fish and even pulled in a few lobster pots with crabs and lobsters inside. Captain Luke took time to teach us so many interesting things about fishing and the area. I would strongly recommend this type of trip to anyone looking for the full Maine fishing experience. Thank you fellas for making this such a memorable day for our entire family!! The Poel’s

Unforgettable Day on the Water with Fish Acadia
Our fishing trip with Fish Acadia aboard the Opportunity was an absolute highlight of our visit. Captain Luke and First Mate Jennifer were outstanding—professional, personable, and passionate about what they do. Their local knowledge, rooted in a lifetime of living and fishing in Maine, made the experience both educational and incredibly fun. Our group caught well over 20 fish, thanks to Luke’s expert navigation and Jen’s attentive support. Every detail—from the gear to the guidance—was handled with care and confidence, making even the less experienced anglers in our group feel like pros. Whether asking about the waters, the fish, or Maine’s coastal culture, Luke and Jen shared thoughtful insights with warmth and authenticity. Their teamwork, humor, and hospitality created an atmosphere that was relaxed, exciting, and genuinely memorable. For anyone looking to get out on the water and have a top-notch experience. Fish Acadia with Captain Luke on the Opportunity is a must. Can’t recommend it highly enough!
