Scott, the price usually runs in the $1000 or so per person when split for a 48 hour trip. Or about $400 per person for a 12 hour trip. Usually 4 or 6 guys per charter splitting the costs. I've gone on two trips out of Massachusetts. One trip we only caught 2 fish around 80-100 pounds. The second trip we did well with several fish in the 100-150 class and 2 over 200.

4 friends of mine from work are planning a trip in October. I think they said it was $4500 split between them. Pretty good odds of fish in the 100 range. Not so good for 200+ fish. When they get over 200 range though, I believe the regs say the fish becomes property of the boat and the chartering anglers only get a small cut of the proceeds when the fish is sold. So if you are looking to keep some tuna and sell the rest, those 100 fish are the best.
