    The absolute best in the biz! We have been doing many trips with these guys for some years now and we couldn’t be more pleased. We had tried other captains before but their boats were much less than desirable and they always turned a tuna trip into “can’t find em let’s catch some haddock” Big Game puts you on the fish! These guys rock they are out there everyday following the fish around so when we get the call the day before plans are changing we’re heading to the canyons, or we’re staying inshore we listen gladly because we know they know where the fish are! If there’s a chance to catch a fish that day these guys will do it! We pulled 16 of 17 over the gunnels just yesterday and the grin is still on my face as I write this. Thanks guys!

    These guys make it happen every time you’re out. Not scared to move when the fish aren’t there and always seem to have the pulse on the fishery with their years of experience…Our whole family has gone out including kids and they always find a way to make things workout so everyone has a great time. Their gear is always in tip top shape with no expense spared. If you are planning on catching fish in New England, these are the guys to go with, I can’t recommend them enough!! See you on the next trip (we’ve got a couple booked this year HA!).

    An absolute 11/10 experience!!! I chartered an over night canyons trip as part of the fieldwork we’re doing for a scientific research project and I can’t say enough about how awesome it was. Capt Pete and Hunter were so great to work with! They were super flexible, helpful, knowledgeable, had a great attitude, and they worked their asses off the whole trip. We were able to get over 20 tuna on the boat, tagged, and safely released. I would recommend these guys to absolutely anyone!

    Awesome trip 6/24 The 50ft viking is an absolute beast. The amenities & layout are beyond comfortable. Captain Pete & mate Hunter are true professionals. Hunters work ethic, attention to detail & willingness to help you are unsurpassed. Thanks again 👊
