Tuna is not a readily targeted species up here in NE FL. Big target up here is wahoo in the colder months. These guys are going out, 40-50. You gotta get out on the other side of the Gulf Stream to target yellow fin. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will correct me. Good luck on the boat hunt.

You can pay for a lifetime of charters for the cost and upkeep of a boat for offshore fishing, ask me how I know.

Beyond the excellent advice in the first two responses..........a question:
If "good to eat" is a primary parameter, and assuming you put sheepshead, drum, redfish, trout, flounder, pompano, mangrove snapper.....and more.....plus shrimp.....and even crabs...why not a inshore boat?
Way more days when you can use it. Much easier to use alone.....I'm near on 70 and still go alone now and again....you've got the inlets and the river, with the shrimp being right down the street from you during the peak of the run.....
And....depending on what you get.....you can run the beaches on many days during the summer....kings and the like.
Plus.....boat will be way less of a maintenance issue which means more days on the water.
One last thing......the inshore boat can more easily be run over to the Gulf side.....scallops and all sorts of fish depending on the time of year.....

And when you get the itch to go offshore, charter with the extra money that you've saved from not owning an offshore boat

With all the closed seasons on so many things, weather bad, fuel costs and time that you can run offshore the crew has to work, it's hard to make the calendar work.
Now that is not a factor if your rich and can go any day of the week. Have a crew on standby. You will get more use from a smaller boat that you can use inshore and run the beach.
Former large boat owner, now a smaller boat owner. A less frustrated boat owner.
