2025 Season Recap
A great success!
The 2025 season was nothing short of incredible, with the south-west coast around Falmouth absolutely alive with activity. Huge numbers of fish pushed through the area, creating day after day of non-stop action. Most days brought double hook-ups, and the sheer volume of bait drew in everything from fin whales to playful dolphins. Bluefin tuna were bursting we even had triple hook-ups.
Fishing Highlights:
Toby catching a whopping 550lb Bluefin Tuna.
10 year old Pheobe catching a Bluefin Tuna twice her body weight!

What to expect
Tuna Fishing Itinerary
Leaving Mylor Yacht Harbour (Falmouth, Cornwall) at 8am to the fishing grounds which are rich with wildlife including Bottle Nose and Common Dolphins, Minky and Pilot Whales.
Our adventure starts with visually looking for bait, birds and gannets.
Bait balls are located on our sonar and the lures are deployed, anticipating a strike at any moment.
Upon a hook up the client can use stand up method or our ‘Release’ fighting chair.
Fight times differ depending on the size of the fish. Anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour would be an average fight time.
The fish is brought to the side of the boat, measured, photographed and tagged. An average 10 minute revival time ensures its wellbeing and healthy release of the fish.
