Your Fishing Charter

Tuna Tail Charters is located in Gloucester, providing the best and most successful trips in the area. Senior Captain John DeMarco has been fishing commercially and professionally from Mexico to New England, in and offshore, for over 45 years. His experience in the local waters gives him the ability to know where the fish are. 

Capt. John aims to tailor every trip so you have the best fishing adventure. Depending on what we are fishing for, bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, kite fishing, and popping are only a few of the techniques we use.   The goal is for you to have an incredibly successful trip. 

Your adventure begins aboard F/V Lobster Tales, a legendary 35' custom Duffy. It was built in Maine for New England waters. She is very large, so there is no crowding and plenty of deck space. The boat is fully equipped with 2 navigation and fish-finding systems, multiple VHF radios, a raft, a full toilet, bunks, a dinette, iced coolers, AC, and more. Beautifully finished interior, but it is a fish-catching boat.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day at no additional cost.

You'll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip. There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need.  Tips for good service are always appreciated.

Up for a family trip? Children ages 6 and above are welcome, and younger kids may be allowed with prior approval. This is a child-friendly and veteran-owned charter, so bring your loved ones and make unforgettable memories together.
