Located off the rugged coast of Massachusetts near Westport, Dying Breed Sportfishing offers a remarkable offshore fishing experience with their flagship boat, Ragnarok. This 29-foot SeaVee Inboard Diesel is hard to miss—with its striking wrap that mirrors the intensity of the adventure awaiting onboard. Here, anglers chase powerful Bluefin and Yellowfin tuna, two of the most prized game fish in the Atlantic, using light tackle techniques like jigging and popping. This method creates an engaging and energetic fishing style that keeps the action constant and thrilling.
Westport’s coastal waters are shaped by deep underwater canyons and nutrient-rich currents, making it prime habitat for large tuna that seasonally migrate through the area. The diversity and abundance of species around this fishing ground set it apart from other Northeastern locales, delivering a world-class sportfishing destination within reach of major urban centers. Whether you’re a rookie or a veteran, the crew on Ragnarok provides all the gear and expert guidance needed to maximize the day’s catch and keep safety at the forefront.
What makes Dying Breed Sportfishing unique is their emphasis on small group trips—up to four people—ensuring a personalized, hands-on experience. The boat's diesel inboard motor and nimble design make it ideal for quick transitions between productive spots where Bluefin and Yellowfin converge. Beyond the thrill of the catch, the trip fosters camaraderie among anglers as you battle some of the ocean’s top predators in serene but challenging offshore waters.
