For deep sea fishing charters, tuna must be a fish species that everyone is looking forward to. The tuna belongs to the Scombridae family and is also called tuna. It is a warm-water migratory fish, and it is also a fish species that migrates around the world without borders. Like a torpedo, it swims extremely fast, and it feels very strong behind the middle fish. Because of this, it brings great challenges and satisfaction to sea fishing enthusiasts. 

Tuna is divided into bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, and long-tail tuna. In our Xisha fishing grounds, yellowfin tuna and bigeye are common fish species.
