    Great Trip and awesome Crew/Capt

    Full Day – Offshore Gulf Stream6 adults

    Don't overthink it, book Rabid Tuna on your next trip. We had a great gulf stream trip with Rabid Tuna, we caught black fin, skipjack, mahi and a couple amberjacks. (they tried really hard for wahoo, but no luck) Will and Dave were great, you can tell they are experienced and truly care about catching fish and making sure you have a good time. Music was a great surprise (since we forgot our speaker) and these guys worked hard to get fish on, rods rigged up and were happy to answer questions. Trust the game plan, they know what they are doing, and how to catch fish We will book again without question with Rabid Tuna.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Amberjack

    Outstanding Charter Despite Tough Conditions

    Full Day – Offshore Gulf Stream4 adults

    Despite some pretty rough weather conditions, the captain and crew made safety their top priority while still doing everything they could to put us on fish. They were professional, knowledgeable, and kept us informed throughout the trip, which made us feel confident even when the seas got rough. Their hard work paid off—we ended up catching a bunch of tuna, a couple of mahi-mahi, and even a barracuda. It was an incredible experience, and it was clear the crew never stopped working to make sure we had a successful day on the water. I would 100% recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great offshore fishing experience. Thanks again to the captain and crew for an unforgettable trip!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Bluefin Tuna

    Bluefin tuna

    Full Day – Offshore Gulf Stream2 adults

    I had an absolutely incredible experience fishing with Captain Tim and First Mate Dave. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and completely dialed in. They put us right on the fish, and thanks to their skill and teamwork, I landed a 72-inch, 215-pound bluefin tuna in just 20 minutes from the fighting chair. The crew worked flawlessly together perfect boat positioning, clear communication, and constant encouragement throughout the fight. It was truly the fish of a lifetime and an absolutely beautiful day on the water. If you’re looking for a top-tier charter with a crew that knows how to get it done, I can’t recommend them enough. I’ll definitely be back!
