Tuna Hunter Fishing Charters
Tuna Hunter Fishing Charters
Tuna Hunter Fishing Charters offers professional, private sport fishing charters for anglers of all abilities and all ages. Join Captain Gary Cannell to discover Gloucester fishing at its finest. With over 40 years of fishing experience, he ought to know what he's doing.
Don't let the name mislead you – though Tuna Hunter excels in going after giant Bluefin Tuna, they're superb in every aspect of deep sea fishing. They don't shy away from inshore fishing either, so Capt. Gary will guide you through Striped Bass fishing in the surrounding Cape Ann waters if that's what you'd prefer.
However, catching enormous Tuna is your captain's passion, so if you're ready to wrestle with the giants, he will show you where and how it's done. The feat will require a bit of luck, skill, and patience, as getting those bad boys into the boat can take up to a couple of hours. However, the effort will definitely be worth it when you first set your eyes on the monster you just caught.
You may also catch Haddock, Flounder, Bluefish, and even some Sharks. Rods, reels, bait, tackle as well as instruction (as needed or requested) are provided, you just need to come aboard and get ready to fish.
These angling escapades wouldn't be possible without a trusty boat like Capt. Gary's 36' Runaway. She is outfitted with two 240 HP Volvo engines and can take you out steadily and comfortably. The vessel will take up to 6 anglers for a day of amazing angling experiences.
Corporate, family and group outings are Tuna Hunter Fishing Charters specialty, so invite whoever you think would be the best company for your fishing expedition and come aboard!

Captain Gary and first mate Joe are very helpful and kind, they taught me some crucial skills fishing with tuna and sharks. And we caught a 150lbs bluefin tuna on this trip, which broke my record for bft. And the crew even said that usually they caught at least three times than this size. Capitan and first mate tried so hard to put me on a fish, thanks a lot!
Everyone on the boat limited out. Had one fish on hook that was bitten by a shark and was able to watch. One of our crew hooked the shark and fought it for about 1/2 hour. Would highly recommend Gary and Tuna Hunter.
Gloucesters Tuna Hunter Charters had a fantastic day ground fishing with Bobs great family !
Captain Gary was great. He was very accommodating and made our fishing trip one that we will never forget. Can't wait to book again.
Great day fishing with the Frost Family on Gloucesters Tuna Hunter Charters. We released a 300 Lb poor beagle shark ,gets the heart pounding !!!
With 3 children and 3 adults we chartered with Tuna Hunter for Haddock fishing. After arriving at location we were quickly catchingt Haddock, Pollock, Cod and others. After a couple hours we decided to switch and see if we could catch some strippers. Captain Gary was very happy to comply with the request and we were quickly underway to catch the batefish. The children enjoyed catching Mackeral for bait, but catching the strippers required extreem effort on the part of Cpt. Gary's and his first mate, Ben. They both went beyond all expectations in acheiving the goal of ensuring everyone was catching at least one keeper, expecially the children. We cannot say enough as to how pleased we were with our choice of boat and crew for this first time charter for the family. Thanks to Cpt. Gary and Ben for a wonderful day on the water and making this family vacation special for all of us!!
Was a fantastic day of deep sea fishing on Tuna Hunter Charters off of Gloucester Ma.
Thank you Eric, great fishing with you.

Captain Gary Cannell has been fishing for 40 years, and for all that time, going after giant Bluefin Tuna is his passion. His biggest catch is a 1030 lb Bluefin Tuna, which just happened to set a new state record in New Jersey. Capt. Gary's guarantee is he will try very hard to put you on the fish and do everything in his power for you to have an amazing time. When not on the water, he spends his time in the woods of Massachusetts.
