Experience the Ultimate Fishing Adventure with Tighten Up Charters

If you're craving the thrill of catching a trophy fish while being surrounded by the sea, this charter is perfect for you. Tighten Up Charters is dedicated to providing an exceptional fishing adventure, going above and beyond to make it a reality.

The chosen boat is a 27' Onslow Bay center console, powered by twin Mercury engines delivering an impressive 350 HP each. With advanced electronics and navigation, you can trust that you'll always be in the right spot for the fish. The boat is equipped with outriggers, a live bait well, and even a toilet, ensuring you have everything you need to focus solely on bagging that keeper.

The targeted species are diverse, including Striped Bass, Bluefish, and various types of Sharks such as Blue Sharks, Mako Sharks, Threshers, and more. However, the highlight of the fishing experience is the Bluefin Tuna, attracting anglers from all corners of the world. The preferred method for pursuing the Bluefin Tuna is a run-and-gun approach, where you speed in at 50 miles per hour and quickly get your lines in the water.

Captain Matt Perachio possesses over 20 years of fishing experience in the surrounding waters, and he eagerly shares his extensive knowledge with his customers. Children are not just welcome but encouraged to come aboard and learn the art of setting the hook, rigging, and reeling it in without any hand-holding. Tuna over 73'' in length must stay with the boat due to federal regulations, and the captain offers a third of its market value as compensation. Cleaning your catch is included in the trip price, ensuring a hassle-free experience. The boat is also disability accessible, extending an invitation to all anglers to come aboard and join in on the adventure!
