Captain David Appolonia has over 25 years of experience fishing the waters of Rhode Island and Block Island Sound fishing for giant bluefin tuna. Fishing for giants off the coast or Rhode Island has been exceptional the past 5 years and decided to take our commercial fishing experience and offer 'catch and release giant bluefin trips for a once-in- lifetime experience'. This is a great venue to entertain clients and customers that want to catch a fish of their lifetime. Please don't forget your camera or video equipment!

Giant Bluefin Tuna Catch & ReleaseFished with Captain David on the F/V Blitzen multiple times for Giant Bluefin Tuna. Always had an excellent experience. The boat is meticulously maintained and fully outfitted with top of the line equipment for giant fishing. On my first trip with David we headed out near Block Island and were greeted with Giant Bluefin feeding on the surface. It didn't take long to get tight with one and after an hour long battle we had a 103" giant to the boat! On another trip we were fishing just miles from the RI shoreline and hooked and fought 3 giants before noon and finally landed a 107" jumbo bluefin! Captain David follows these fish throughout the entire season so there was always a game plan before we left the dock. If you're looking to get tight with the baddest fish in the ocean, this is the charter to book! I will definitely be booking again for the 2026 season!
Response from Charter operatorLooking forward to fishing with you this summer Nick!

Giant Bluefin Tuna Catch & ReleaseHad an epic day on board Blitzen with Captain Dave and mate Sven. We made our way to the windmills and found the whales. Started drifting with live mackerel to no avail. Moved further west, marked some fish and reset, 30 minutes later we hooked 2 giants at the same time; chaos ensured. We were fortunate to land a 90 incher. A day i will always remember. Thank you Dave and Sven.
Response from Charter operatorThankyou Eric, i look forward to having you come again. As soon as the giants show in June, we stay on top of where the giants are every week while we commercially fish for them. Call me and I will let you know when the fishing is good so you can book the best time to come.
