Swordfish: the overnight hunt 30 miles off the dock.
This is the fleet's signature expedition. Run offshore in the evening, fish deep baits under glow sticks through the night, and sleep in shifts aboard a 55 foot Hatteras built for it.
Swordfish live in serious water, more than a quarter mile down along the edges of the Gulf Stream, and getting to them is an expedition. The collective runs the overnight program as its signature trip: roughly 30 miles offshore, baits rigged with glow sticks and dropped deep on electric reels, then the long, tense wait for the rod to load up.
The 55 foot Hatteras makes the trip civilized: air conditioned salon, real beds, and a galley, so the crew fishes while you rest and wakes you when it matters. A broadbill boatside under the boat lights at 3 am is a memory nobody on board will lose.
Who this trip is for
Serious anglers, bucket-listers, and small groups celebrating something big. Six guests max, and dates go fast: swordfish weather windows fill before anything else on the calendar.
