About
Embark on our sought-after swordfish trip, dedicated to chasing the Gulf of Mexico's prized sport fish. Journeying 60-80 miles into the Gulf, we'll reach the ledge where swordfish thrive in depths exceeding 1000ft. Beyond targeting swordfish, we offer the option for deep drops to pursue various other species lurking past the ledge, including Queen Snapper, Tilefish, and Grouper, among others. This excursion accommodates up to six people, though we recommend a maximum of four for optimal comfort and experience. Your trip includes fuel, tackle, bait, ice, and bottled water for your convenience. Fish cleaning services are available for an additional fee, typically ranging from $40 to $60, payable directly to the fish cleaners waiting for you at the dock. Simply arrive with your sunscreen and preferred food and beverages, and get ready for an unforgettable day of angling!
