Swordfish

Targeting swordfish is not for the faint of heart—but for those who dare, it’s one of the most rewarding challenges in all of sportfishing. FWC’s Swordfish Charters are 10-hour offshore missions built around this legendary species’ habits and habitat. With the Gulf Stream’s drop-offs 15–20 miles from shore, reaching swordfish grounds is well within the range of our high-performance Contender 33T.

Depending on time of day and conditions, you’ll deploy deep-drop rigs with heavy tackle, sending baits 1,500+ feet into the dark depths where swords patrol. Night trips can be especially productive, as these powerful predators rise in the water column to feed under cover of darkness.

Swordfish are known for blistering runs, violent headshakes, and marathon battles—hooking one is just the beginning. With FWC’s expert rigging and tactical experience, you’ll be ready when the bite comes. For anglers chasing a true deepwater trophy, this is your shot.
