With a seasoned captain at the helm overseeing all gear and safety measures, participants get immersed in the art and science of deep-sea fishing—dealing with heavy tackle, strategic baiting, and battling colossal fish in the open ocean. The thrill of hooking a swordfish is an experience unlike any other—its sheer power and size make the fight intense and unforgettable.
