The violations included possession of mutilated yellowfin tuna, possession of highly migratory species without a permit, fishing for and retaining tilefish without a federal party/charter permit, and other records violations. 

This apparently was the second violation in a year that the owners failed to obtain the appropriate federal fishing permits for the vessel, the association said on Facebook.

They did not identify the owners of the party boat. 

The case was referred to National Marine Fisheries Service for enforcement action.
