Discover the Best of Islamorada Fishing

Our Offshore Experiences

Our Islamorada fishing charters offers two distinct and unforgettable offshore experiences: general offshore charters and swordfishing trips. On a standard offshore trip, anglers explore wrecks, patch reefs, and natural bottom areas just a few miles from shore, or head further offshore during the summer to chase mahi mahi and tuna. These trips are fast-paced, family-friendly, and focused on a variety of species, combining trolling, kite fishing, and live bait techniques.

Swordfishing trips, on the other hand, are a true trophy hunt, venturing 25–30 miles offshore into the deep waters of the Gulf Stream. These trips require patience and precision, as anglers rig their own baits on hand-crank or electric reels, set two rods, and focus on that one epic bite from a massive swordfish. Together, these options provide something for every angler, from action-packed days of multiple catches to the thrill of targeting a single, world-class predator.

Islamorada Swordfishing Charter

A typical swordfishing trip out of Islamorada is a full-day adventure that begins with a 25–30 mile run offshore to the deep-water grounds where swordfish are most active.
