About Your Trip

South Florida is the swordfishing capital of the world, and if you're ready to duel with these bucket-list fish, this is the trip for you! Swordfish, or "swords", truly live up to their nickname, the "Gladiators of the Sea"! On this trip, you'll get deep offshore to the prime fishing grounds, and fish heavy tackle down deep. Once you get a bite from one of these hard-fighting fish, it's game on! Swordfish are legendary for their power, speed, and endurance, and will not give up without a battle.

In addition to Swordfish, you'll have the opportunity to troll for classic gamefish such as Mahi, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, and fast pelagic sharks such as Mako Sharks! You'll be aboard Captain Nel's beautiful 45' Hatteras sportfisher—a perfect boat for chasing aggressive fish in offshore waters. She powered by two Cummins engines with totalling 1000 HP, and is outfitted with every amenity for a comfortable and successful trip!

Captain Nel is a highly experienced guide with years of practice finding, hooking, and landing massive Swordfish, along with many other famous gamefish species. He'll come prepared with everything you need, including top-quality rods, reels, and tackle for fighting prizewinning fish. All you need to bring is proper clothing, a pair of sunglasses, and some sunscreen. Get out there and get ready for the trip of a lifetime!

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
