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!

Captain Christopher and first mate DJ were very knowledgeable and friendly. Tough bite today, but not from lack of effort!
