Very good mackerel trip for some visitors,one who had never fished before. Danielle was very helpful from booking the trip through to the boarding process. I would recommend Bluefin for a very professional and pleasant experience.Posted on Google david brayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to take this opportunity to thank and fully recommend sam and his crew,they went beyond everything you could expect !! The six of us were all new to tuna fishing,they explained everything in easy to understand terms, after catching some bait then off to find the tuna he and his crew never stop moving trying to find them,and so we did,it was a pleasure to find a boat that couldn't do enough us !! If we could give blue fin charters 6 star we would,we all said we would return for another trip next year, we all don't think you could go wrong with their fishing trips !!Posted on Google Darren HitchenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely brilliant experience 😁Posted on Google Rob ClarkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great time Mackerel fishing with the friendly crew of Yellowfin.Posted on Google Guy TitchmarshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tuna Fishing aboard Bluefin out of Falmouth. What an experience. First rate Skipper Sam worked tirelessly to put us on the fish and ensure we all caught. A brilliant tactical decision on day 2 ensured this was the case. Only someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Sam could have done this. Spotless, comfortable boat, high quality equipment and a calm and sage captain made this a trip none of us will forget. We felt safe at all times, even in some lumpy seas and all caught fish of a lifetime. Until now that is, we will be back!Posted on Google Stephen MaleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic. Fun. Worth every penny!! Danielle was so helpful and friendly during check in for our trip and briefing us on safety and demonstrating the use of provided life jackets. The boatmen James and Adam were great and really did give us the thrill we were hoping for from the 600hp engines on the rib. We were very lucky to see several pods of dolphins which were happy to come right up to the boat, and we saw seals a plenty in the water and basking on the rocks of Godrevy lighthouse. 5* would highly recommend and we will definitely be back for another trip!!!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.What and incredible encounter we had today witnessing Mother and Calf like we have never seen before with Dad not to far away.

Would rather be fishing but when the weathers this bad the only thing to lift the spirits is a bit of boat stuff and today we installed some new U Dek designed and sent down from the lads at Tidal worx who recently also did our vinyl wrap.
Have to say gives a nice modern look to what was a dated looking floor.
4 weeks tomorrow is Tuna Time 🐟🙌 and myself and Neal can’t wait to get going and look forward to seeing you guys very soon 👌 ... See MoreSee Less
Was great to help out some family’s going on holiday today as their flights were cancelled due to the fog from Lands End airport.
We had a fantastic trip across that only took 1 hour 30mins so decided to have a nice cold shandy in such a beautiful location 👌 ... See MoreSee Less

🔥 8 weeks to go! 🔥
The countdown is officially on… in just 8 weeks, the 2026 Bluefin Tuna season kicks off, and the excitement at Bluefin Charters is already building!
We’ve been busy gearing up for what’s shaping up to be an absolutely incredible season of explosive topwater action, screaming reels and unforgettable battles with some of the hardest-fighting fish in the calendar year.
This year we’re stepping things up once again with some seriously exciting new kit from Shimano and those that have booked on already are in for a real treat as you will be using gear that is as good as gets in big game fishing.
The new 2026 Shimano Stella 25000s – built for brutal topwater battles.
New Shimano Talica 50s compact power, reliability, and stopping strength when it matters most
New Shimano Talica rods – perfectly matched to the reels and ready for the fight.
We are all about stand up fighting and match the gear to the fish we are targeting so you get the full angling experience and not short changed.
2025 was awesome but 2026 is going to be something special as we are learning all the time and what we learned last season will be implemented from the off and we can’t wait.
massive thanks to Andy and his team at shimano for getting our new tackle together and we look forward to giving it all the ultimate field test 💪🐟
There’s still a handful of dates left over on the website and we are now taking booking for 2027
See you all soon Sam & Neal
