About Your Trip

Join Captain Tony on this incredible offshore sportfishing trip here in Islamorada, Florida! Islamorada is known worldwide as a Mecca for sportfishing, and there's no better guide to the rich waters here than Captain Tony. On board his sleek and comfortable 32' SeaVee center console, you'll have a perfect opportunity to chase Swordfish, one of the toughest and hardest-fighting fish here in the Gulf.

These fish travel thousands of miles, sometimes deep underwater, hunting squid, baitfish, ballyhoo, and more, and when they hit your line, you'll feel it! To attract these fish, Captain Tony will be drifting a variety of baits, dredges, and lures, but as soon as that rod bends, it's all you! Bring your A-game, because these hard-fighting gamefish will test your skill, strength, and stamina. Swordfish are also delicious, either seared on the grill with some lime juice, or in fish tacos!

Captain Tony's 32' SeaVee is a beautiful boat, and sports twin 300-HP Yamaha engines and a Seakeeper system that prevents boat roll and seasickness! As a center console vessel, you'll be able to fish 360º around the boat, making it perfect for groups of up to six people. Plus, she features recently-updated electronics, side-scanning sonar, radar, multiple live wells, and an oversized box for your big fish.

Captain Tony will provide all rods, reels and tackle. All you need to bring are good vibes and whatever you care to eat and drink. Enjoy your day out on the water!

Tony did a great job customizing our trip for what we wanted to target. He put us on the black fin first and then put us on the yellowtail snapper. The boat and equipment was top notch. We’ve fished a lot but never in a boat with a sea keeper. Absolute game changer to be anchored up bottom fishing and the boat doesn’t rock. Highly recommend Tony and will fish with him again when...

We wanted to catch sharks and Tony put us on sharks. He's a really cool dude and great with kids. My 4 yo son had a blast and so did we. We ended up landing 6 sharks in 3 hours. Highly recommend a trip with Tony.
