Swordfish live in serious water, more than a quarter mile down along the edges of the Gulf Stream, so swordfish fishing here is an expedition. You run roughly 30 miles offshore. Baits rigged with glow sticks go down deep on electric reels. Then comes the long, tense wait for the rod to load up.
The 55 foot Hatteras keeps it comfortable: air conditioned cabin, real beds and a kitchen. You rest while the crew fishes, and they wake you when it matters. A broadbill boatside under the boat lights at 3 am is the story you tell for years.
Is this trip for you?
Yes, if you want a fish of a lifetime or a night you will talk about for years. No experience needed. Six guests max, so book early.
