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.
- Albacore Tuna: Known for their excellent table fare and spirited fights.
- Dogtooth Tuna (Indo-Pacific): A formidable reef-associated predator (technically a bonito, but a prized target for tuna anglers).
- Skipjack Tuna: Often found in large schools and known for fast action.
Premier Tuna Fishing Destinations – USA & International: Our network spans the globe's most productive tuna fisheries:

I couldn't believe we won!

We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none.

Brandon Ball / OI Draw Winner

I'm so grateful for the opportunity!

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH's and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%.

Brye Mangum / OI Draw Winner

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.

Dason Lasater / OI Draw Winner

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

Oliver Fischer

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you, Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
