We fish in waters 1,200 to 2,000 feet deep, using advanced tackle and techniques perfected by our experienced captains and crew.
Some swordfish strike within 30 minutes. Others take hours of determination and teamwork. And when that powerful fish finally breaks the surface and flashes its blade in the sunlight — there’s no adrenaline rush that compares.
