What better way to make your journey to sea than aboard a luxury vessel to the heart of the Caribbean? The 'Swordfish' offers you the chance to live the high life as you explore these productive waters in style. Come aboard and enjoy some first-class service in stunning surroundings, all the while going after some of the world's most sought-after fish.
Who better to take you out than a passionate, local guide? Captain Christopher Welch was raised on the water. With a lifetime's experience behind him, he still loves nothing more than going out to sea, and feels privileged to take you with him. He promises a personalized, entertaining, and productive trip to sea.
Step aboard the 38' Bayliner fishing vessel and enter into a word you never knew existed. This stunning vessel comes fitted with your comfort in mind. Relax in the air-conditioned cabin that boasts a bunk, galley, TV, and two toilets. The crew will do everything they can to make you feel at home, providing water on all trips, and lunch on full-day trips.
When it comes to fishing, the boat is second to none. Fitted with outriggers and downriggers, you'll troll the open waters, attracting the bite of plenty of exciting creatures. When you feel the bite, settle into the fighting chair to do battle, and you'll have the edge over whatever is on the end of your line.
You'll need all the help you can get as the fish here are among the strongest in the world. Marlin, Barracuda, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, and Mackerel all promise to put up an intense fight to come aboard. Get ready to work up a sweat to land that trophy catch and take something delicious back to shore.
If you'd like to try spearfishing, or cool off by going snorkeling, get in touch with Capt. Christopher before you go. He can also arrange a pick up from your hotel, so don't forget to mention where you're staying!
Other than that, you're good to go! Come aboard the 'Swordfish' for a fishing experience like never before!

Dave Carlson5.0VerifiedMorning with Captain Dave!!
Half day on December 29, 2022 • 9 adultsStarted out early for an all guys pre-wedding excursion on the fishing boat Swordfish!! Captain Dave was there waiting for us at the lobby right on time. Despite the crew's best efforts we came back empty handed but with full hearts and great memories. Captain Dave is about as genuine a human being as you'll ever find. Big guy with an even bigger heart. I forgot my phone in his van he found it and brought it back to the hotel, no problem mon!! If I ever get a chance to go back I won't hesitate to call him up and give it another try!! Thanks for the memories Captain Dave and crew!!

3/4 Day Trip on March 3, 2024 • 4 adultsIncredible team of Captain "Dave", DJ and Eddie put us on some great fish today. On time, a great time to be around and know their way around a boat and the Caribbean. We had an absolute blast for my 50th!

3/4 Day Trip on June 15, 2021 • 6 adults6 hour fishing trip turned into awesome memories for me and my daughters. Captain was knowledgeable and friendly. The crew was awesome Eddie and DJ really the the experience great! Ready to book my next trip!
Billy StepterRepeat angler1.0VerifiedDisaster-DON’T book with him!
3/4 Day Trip on June 11, 2026 • 4 adultsBefore booking our trip, I reached out to the boat with specific questions, which were answered. When he arrived to pick us up, Christopher (captain dave) let us know the boat we booked was broken, so we would have to go on a smaller boat. (A couple reasons we booked with him was for the air conditioner, bc we were unsure of the heat, and this boat didn’t have air conditioning.) We went out to sea, and started trolling. We trolled for 4 hours and never even had a nibble. When we asked about drop fishing, we were told they weren’t set up for it. They told us that we signed up for a certain type of fish. (Which we didn’t, we signed up for the experience.) We had booked a 6 hour trip, and we were out for 4 hours, then he said he would take us out again the next day for 2 hours to make up the difference, (drop fishing) he didn’t, and started making excuses. We asked for a refund since we weren’t getting what we paid for. (Not including the tip we gave him.) He said he talked to the “owner” of the boat, and they were only going to give back $300 for the trouble. Very dishonest, left a bad taste in my mouth. Not what we expected or paid for. Don’t book with Swordfish.

Half Day Trip (AM) on March 11, 2025 • 4 adultsEven though we didn't catch anything fish (no other boats in area did either) we had a great experience. The capt and crew were fantastic and we never felt uneasy or wary. I recommend highly

Captain Christopher and first mate DJ were very knowledgeable and friendly. Tough bite today, but not from lack of effort!
Christopher was initially very friendly and seemed like a great guy. However he didnt tell us the boat we booked was broken down. The guys went out on a much smaller less comfortable boat. My husband mentioned it to him and he said he'd "make it right". He didn't and is not answering messages now. So on top of not catching fish, this was a bad experience overall. We know he cant control if fish are caught, but feel like we were scammed. Disappointing
We deep water trolled the whole time and caught a blue marlin. First time catching a marlin for us. Captain and crew were great about communication and punctuality. Would highly recommend Captain Dave!
