About Your Trip

Swordfishing is an amazing and thrilling experience that anglers will never forget. These massive fish are not only impressive in size, but they're also fierce predators that put up quite a fight when hooked. Join Captain Taco for a full day (or night) adventure on the offshore waters near Fort Lauderdale for a catch you'll never forget!

For his nighttime Swordfish trips, Captain Taco likes to depart 2 to 4 hours before sunset. This way you can fish on the way out, targeting a few Dolphin or maybe a Marlin!

The vessel is a custom 41' that was built in 1964. It's powered by twin Avico engines with a total of 450 horsepower. In addition to the standard amenities, this boat also features a fighting chair, GPS, fishfinder, bed, flybridge, live bait well, kitchen, refrigerator, multimedia system, outriggers, tuna tubes, and icebox. Whether you're looking to do some daytime swordfishing or try your hand at nighttime swordfishing, this boat has everything you need to make the most of your trip.

Captain Taco's trip includes an experienced captain & mate, all necessary fishing licenses, top-of-the-line rods, reels & tackle, a cooler loaded with ice for your beers & sodas, and a lot of laughs & a great time! All he recommends you bring along with you is some food and drink for your voyage, sunscreen & sunglasses (Unless you choose nighttime Swords), and a little luck!

My family and I had an epic day with Taco! Taco and his mate were super welcoming as we jumped on board, and it was clear he runs a super clean and well maintained sportfish. We were on fish in no time with my brother-in-law fighting the fish of his life, a giant Amberjack! From there, we spread the kites and caught mahi, bonita, and a beautiful sailfish. Whole fam had a blast and Taco...
