Trips to suit your needs .

Spend the day with Naked Tuna Charters and find out what the fishing is like in Gloucester and Stellwagen Bank, home of the hit series Wicked Tuna. Maybe see your favorite character!

Please message with any questions, special requests, or adjustments to times pricing , or amount of guests. We will adjust and cater to your requests. We want this ro be a memorable experience!

Around here fishing is popular for Striped Bass, Bluefish, Cod, Bluefin Tuna, Mako Shark, Thresher Shark, Porbeagle Shark, Haddock, Atlantic Mackerel, Pollock, and more . You’ll target your catch by spinning, popping, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Daniel runs a 32’ Luhrs convertible that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. We also will catch and use Live bait .

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

The boat covers your fishing license. It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen .  Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.

If you are looking for a life long memory of catching a Giant Bluefin Tuna this is a good trip to choose. We will catch live bait and target this species. Along with the target fish Bluefin tuna there is the possiblity of catching large sharks. The sharks are fun to see and catch as well.

Now, time to hit the water with Naked Tuna Charters!

All trips can be adjusted altered and negociated please message any questions !

All trips listed as 4 people , full disclosure we can go 6 guests but fishing is tight with 6. 4 is ideal unless we swap in and out ! We can make it work !

Half Day Trip – Offshore on September 14, 2024

Went out for a half day trip. 5 of us in total. From the moment we were on the dock Dan and Johnny “Gatorade” were friendly and charismatic. We went out about 14 miles and were on the fish from the start. We maxed out or cod in about an hour and some of them were 30”+. We caught haddock and polluck as well. He put us on the fish for a solid day. We would definitely recommend Dan and John and we will more than likely be booking repeat trips with them in the future.

Full Day Trip – Bluefin Tuna on August 3, 2024

My family had a great time. The whales & Leather Back Turtle to the 1st Mate & Captain. Their knowledge, skill and care of the sea creatures and fishing permeating our souls. The laughter & camaraderie was palpable thou we didn’t catch the “Big One” it was a memory for our life time….

We had a blast on this trip with Naked Tuna. Dan and Doug are knowledgeable fisherman, who were very informative, as well as very personable. If you would like to go out to sea with a good crew I highly suggest booking a charter. We will definitely go with them again
