Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wow. A phenomenal time was had by kids and parents alike. With kids eager for rod time we figured this would be a fun Nantucket activity. Right move to call Steve Tuna. He brought plenty of gear, joked that his tires were deflated "I did it in May", and expertly drove us over sand through the dunes. Fishing with kids in the era of instant fun on YouTube can be hit or miss. Steve has the effortless sunniness of a man who's raised his kids and feels joy at being on the beach every day. We trekked out to the most remote part of Massachusetts (Thanks, Steve), had a glorious day of sunshine (Steve can't take credit for that one, though), and used perfectly maintained equipment (Thanks, Steve). Unfortunately none of the kids managed to catch anything (can't really blame Steve for luck) but we all had a great time and learned quite a bit (which is all Steve).

Want to have a great time fishing the beaches of Nantucket with a seasoned fisherman native to the island then Steve is your guy. He is a great guy that knows the island like the back of his hand, has a personal connection to be able to read wind direction and speed matched with tide patterns and how to piece that together to put you on fish. We caught stripers on one beach, conditions shifted so we moved to the opposite side of the island and immediately (1st cast) started hooking into bluefish.
Steve is personable and a lot of fun to spend a day with. Highly recommend choosing him as your surf fishing guide option when on Nantucket. He is an accomplished fishermen and tournament winner who will work hard to make your trip successful, thank you Steve.

Steve was very accommodating to my 17 year old son and I. Stopped at Wicked Bakery for coffee and breakfast sandwiches before heading out on our early trek. Great conversations and shared a lot of knowledge/experiences of the island, fishing and life. We used that insight to go fishing later that week too and to find the best sand which spots on the island. Great guide and better person!

I strongly recommend Steve Tornovish if you’re looking to do some fishing on Nantucket. I hired him to take me and my girlfriend out for a morning of fishing on the beach. My GF had never gone fishing before, and I don’t have much experience. He was very good at explaining the basics and in getting us on a good spot, right away. He has a very pleasant demeanor that makes it easy to tell him you’ve fouled up a line, or something. My cute little GF was able to catch a nice bluefish on her first day-an experience she will never forget. I had a blast.
Steve’s a great guy and a damn good fishing guide. Recommended.

If you want to fish while in Nantucket, book a trip with Steve Tuna. He is the nicest host and takes care of everything. He will do everything possible to make it fun and memorable. My son, father and husband had a great time and caught some sizeable bluefish. Steve-we can't thank you enough. We hope to see you again in the future!

Steve Tuna brought my 8 year old son Connor and I fishing on Great Point Beach during our recent Nantucket trip. Steve picked us up at our hotel downtown and drove us out to the beach. I was a little nervous about bringing Connor because he gets bored pretty easy and I was also worried he could not handle the bigger surf cast fishing rods easily.
The very first cast we hooked into a bluefish! After casting for a while and having Connor help reel in the next few fish we hooked into, Steve broke out a smaller 7' fishing rod for Connor to try. After working with him on casting for a while, he was able to take right off and handle casting on his own. We caught several big bluefish over the course of 4 hours, fishing in a few different spots. The first blue that Connor caught all on his own was followed in by a brown shark and almost bitten in half! We saw the brown sharks a few more times after that.
I can't recommend fishing with Steve Tuna enough. He was fun and informative, and growing up on the island he knows where the fish hang out. Not only was this trip the highlight of our Nantucket trip, this was the highlight of Connor's entire year and a trip he will never forget. Can't wait to book the next time we are visiting!

Let me start off by saying that I am from the Midwest and had never fished on the Ocean before. I didn't even know you could catch fish from the beach. Steve did a great job breaking down how to cast safely, how to reel in following a bite, and ultimately how to catch fish. I caught three 20+ inch bluefish and had a great time! Steve took a complete novice and made me look like a fisherman with experience.

Steve was knowledgeable and a wonderful instructor. He was so patient and kind to our 12 year old and 9 year old. We were nervous that our 9 year old would lose interest, but Steve stuck with him, and by the end our son didn't want to leave! It was wonderful being on a different part of the island, and Steve was a fun guy to spend an afternoon with.

Steve met us near the gate house and took us out to Great Point for an epic fishing tour. He showed us his favorite spots and we settled on two. We started casting on the west side before relocating to the opposite shore.
As someone new to fishing, I felt like a pro by the end! He was patient, helpful, lighthearted, and fun with a whole bunch of knowledge. I can’t wait to go again!
Thanks so much, Steve “Tuna” Tornovish 🐟

Great day fishing with Steve! I’ve gone out with three different guides on Nantucket over the years. Fishing with Steve was the best by far. I highly recommend going with him. He is a knowledgeable but also very fun and easy going.
From my 8yr old daughter: “It was so fun. I got to catch fish off the beach and my dad FINALLY caught one!”
