About Your Trip

Sword Fishing: Almost desecrated by commercial fishing in the seventies and eighties, the management and rebirth of swordfishing in South Florida have caused, One Of The Biggest Booms in Sportfishing history. About twelve years ago, when some of us were quietly leaving the dock to try our luck at a lost fishery, we discovered that catching swordfish was not just attainable but wide open! More and more people caught on, and now it has become a full swing boom. Caught not only at night now we can fish for them anytime. And as with all fishing with me, light tackle and release are not only allowed but encouraged.

We are a tried and true sportfishing adventure company. Our experienced team has traveled the deep dark ends of the sea for the most coveted awards, the biggest game fish... the trophy winners. Now, we are here to offer friends, family, and thrill-seekers a great voyage on the high seas aboard our exceptional 53' Hatteras Convertible. Enjoy a half-day, full-day, or overnight charter on the RingMaster, fully equipped with the latest fishing tackle and loaded for comfort.
