Experience the Ultimate Offshore Battle: Guided Tuna Fishing Adventures with Outdoors International

Prepare for an adrenaline-pumping offshore adventure targeting one of the ocean's most powerful and prized game fish – the mighty Tuna. Outdoors International is your expert consulting service, dedicated to connecting anglers with elite, vetted fishing charters, long-range boats, and lodges specializing in thrilling Tuna expeditions across the globe. Whether you dream of battling giant Bluefin on the U.S. East Coast or California, chasing explosive Yellowfin in the Gulf of Mexico or renowned international destinations like Mexico and Panama, or targeting other hard-fighting tuna species, we help you plan an unforgettable big game fishing experience at no extra cost compared to booking direct.

Tuna fishing is renowned for its intensity, requiring skill, strong tackle, and often venturing far offshore to where these pelagic powerhouses roam. Our experienced consultants understand the seasonal migrations, effective techniques (from trolling and chunking to jigging and popping), and the best destinations for various tuna species. We will match you with operations that suit your angling ambitions, whether you're a seasoned big game angler or looking for your first taste of bluewater action. We also prioritize working with captains and crews who adhere to all regulations and promote sustainable fishing practices, especially for highly managed species like Bluefin Tuna.

  • Target a Variety of Powerful Tuna Species: We can help you pursue a range of highly sought-after tuna, including:

    • Yellowfin Tuna: Famous for their speed and endurance, a prized catch in many warm-water regions worldwide.
    • Bluefin Tuna: The giants of the tuna world, known for their incredible strength and size. Highly regulated, offering a true test for anglers in specific regions.
    • Bigeye Tuna: A hard-fighting deep-water species often found in similar areas as Yellowfin and Bluefin.
    • Blackfin Tuna: A common and aggressive species in the Western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.

There's a reason I keep booking this steelhead fishing trip!

Second time I’ve done this particular trip. The steelhead run was awesome! The food was even better than the first time, which is hard to imagine, and our guide is the best there is!

If catching big fish is your thing I highly recommend booking through Outdoors International.

I expected big trout on this trip based on all the stories I've read over the years, and I was not disappointed! I broke my own personal best rainbow trout record at least SIX times on this trip, with the biggest being a 16 pound beauty.

I will be going again soon!
