Guided Albacore Tuna Fishing Tours
An experience of a lifetime!
Target the elusive Albacore tuna during the annual tuna run in late August-September. A small annual window of opportunity emerges where Albacore tuna are within reach of our vessels. Our Marine Operations Manager and Pro Guide team closely monitor weather conditions, water temperature, and clarity up to the morning of planned departure. Tours depart in the morning around daylight and depending on tide movement, the tour can run for up to 10 hours. Some saltwater angling experience is recommended.
Albacore tuna fishing is an incredible experience that can take anglers up to 25 nautical miles offshore. Your safety is our utmost priority. Albacore tuna trips are designed as traditional salmon & halibut tours with an ambition for tuna if conditions are perfect. Tours are subject to variables including accessibility and specific weather conditions; in the event that tuna fishing is unattainable, the trip will proceed as a traditional salmon & halibut tour. Multi-day tours (4-5 days) increase the likelihood of success. A minimum of 2 boats are required for safety. Packed onboard lunch is included with full day tours. Tidal Water Sportfishing License is required.
A surcharge will be added to your booked guided fishing, should Albacore Tuna fishing opportunity becomes a go!
