What Is Tuna Fishing in Florida?

Tuna fishing in Florida targets fast-moving offshore pelagic species known for explosive strikes and long, powerful runs. Miami is one of the most reliable departure points for Florida tuna fishing, offering quick access to the Gulf Stream where blackfin tuna are common year-round and larger yellowfin appear seasonally in deeper offshore waters.

Florida’s east coast, particularly off Miami, benefits from strong Gulf Stream currents, temperature breaks, and bait-rich corridors that create highly productive tuna grounds within short runs from the marina. These blue-water zones consistently attract feeding schools and provide steady action for experienced offshore anglers.

Professional Florida tuna fishing charters departing from Miami use high-speed trolling, kite fishing, and live bait presentations to locate active fish in deep Atlantic waters and maximize hookup potential.
