Dying Breed Sportfishing
Step aboard the Ragnarok and test your mettle chasing Giant Bluefin Tuna off Massachusetts with Dying Breed Sportfishing. This intense offshore experience blends heavy tackle action with a genuine commercial fishing atmosphere.
Dying Breed Sportfishing is a Yarmouth, Massachusetts-based charter operation specializing in offshore and inshore sportfishing aboard purpose-built SeaVee boats. Operating the 32' Mia Via and the 29' Ragnarok, Dying Breed runs canyon trips, jig-and-pop outings, giant bluefin expeditions, and inshore outings for bass, blues, and albies. The company offers full-day canyon trips from dawn to dusk targeting tuna, swordfish, and mahi; Cape Cod Jig N Pop trips that focus on bluefin using spinning gear; South of the Islands light-tackle tuna trips; heavy-tackle giant bluefin commercial style trips with baited drifts aboard Ragnarok; and short inshore trips for nearshore action.
Captains and crew are experienced local fishermen who follow federal and state regulations, prioritize safety, and maintain modern angling gear and electronics. All trips include necessary tackle and safety equipment when advertised, and charters can accommodate anglers of varied skill levels. Dying Breed emphasizes careful boat maintenance, professional navigation, and adherence to licensing and reporting requirements for commercial trips. Booking information, trip lengths, and exact provisions vary by trip and are provided at reservation time. The operation’s location in Yarmouth allows quick access to offshore canyons and productive Cape Cod fishing grounds. Anglers seeking trophy tuna, swordfish runs, or fast inshore action will find tailored trip styles—from run-and-gun jigging to heavy-tackle drifts—handled with local expertise and vessel capability.
Trip durations range from half-day inshore excursions to full-day offshore canyon runs, with gear, bait, and safety briefing provided as specified for each charter. Reservations are advised during peak season. Local licenses required.
