About Your Trip

For those chasing the ultimate offshore challenge, this 10–12 hour swordfish trip out of Dania Beach delivers a world-class experience targeting one of the ocean’s most elusive predators: the mighty Swordfish. Known as the Gladiator of the Sea, these deep-dwelling giants are as tough to hook as they are thrilling to fight—and this trip gives you the tactics, tools, and talent to do just that.

Running aboard a sleek 37’ Ocean Master, fully refitted and powered by twin 300 HP outboards, you’ll ride fast and smooth across the Gulf Stream to waters as deep as 1,800 feet. With a second-level tuna tower, over 50 rod holders, and a 1000-watt Garmin sounder, this boat is built for high-performance fishing and serious results. And when the seas get sporty, the wide 11’ beam and smart design keep things stable and comfortable for your group of up to 4 anglers.

You’ll fish both day and night tactics depending on your trip—dropping squid, mackerel, and dolphin bellies on heavy daytime rigs with top-tier electric reels like the LP S-1200 and Daiwa hand-crank combos, or fishing the upper water column at night with glowstick-lit baits and 50–80 lb tackle. Either way, you’re locked in for a battle that can last hours, with fish often pushing 80 lbs and the occasional monster breaking 300.

At the helm is one of the area’s most respected pros. If you want to take things to the next level, request a trip with Captain Mike. With decades of experience in South Florida waters, Captain Mike’s deep knowledge, professionalism, and passion for the sport make him a standout. He brings the kind of insight and precision that turn good trips into legendary ones—perfect for anglers serious about landing their bucket-list sword.

This charter is more than just a fishing trip—it’s a full-throttle, deep-drop hunt for one of the ocean’s most prized gamefish. Whether it’s your first sword or your fifth, this experience is built to push limits and deliver stories you’ll be telling for years.
