Ready to cast a line in Destin? Look no further than Swoop II Deep Sea Fishing! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Matt, Captain Devin, and Captain Jeff know them forwards and back.

These waters are home to Vermilion Snapper, Amberjack, Red Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Mangrove Snapper, Almaco Jack, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, and more with any luck. You can expect to do some bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Swoop II Party Boat welcomes kids, 6 and up, aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Don't forget to bring drinks and snacks in a cooler, for a boost of energy when needed!

You'll be welcome aboard a 65' Navigator headboat that holds up to 40 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Bait, rods, reels, and tackle are all included.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 20% tip.

Please be aware that for Private Charters and Parties of 10 or more, 20% gratuity will be added to the ticket price. There is a 3% processing fee for credit card transactions, included in the price.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the mates.

It's never a bad idea to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. We highly recommend some preventative measure for motion sickness.

Swoop II Deep Sea Fishing will make it easy for you to go fishing in Destin. So, how about booking that trip?

Best. Charter. Ever.
6 Hour – Party Boat Fishing on July 7, 20251 adult
I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, this is the best fishing charter ever. From the moment you check in the crew is incredibly supportive. The boat itself is larger than a lot of other ones, so you don’t feel cramped. That is a big issue on a lot of party boats. The interior was a bit messy with all the extra equipment, which made sitting a little m, but whatever. The main thing to remember is, if you want a quality fishing, charter experience, with a crew, who cares about you having a good time, and a captain that knows where the fish are… This is it 110%.

8 Hour – Party Boat Fishing on May 25, 20252 adults
We had the BEST time on our fishing trip today! From the moment we got on the boat, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The mates were super helpful the entire time—whether it was helping us taking the fish of the line, untangle lines, or just making sure we were having a great time. You can tell they really love what they do, and it made the whole experience even better. The price was amazing, especially compared to the private charter we did last year—which honestly wasn’t even half as fun as today. This trip was full of laughs, great people, and tons of excitement. We caught fish, made memories, and already can’t wait to come back next year. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about going—you won’t regret it!

Trip got canceled, but still recommend.
6 Hour – Party Boat Fishing on May 15, 20252 adults
Unfortunately our trip got canceled last second due to the weather. As a experience angler this is 100% understandable, especially with it being a offshore party boat with up to 40+ passengers, safety needs to come first and even though I wish there was further notice on the cancellation, I completely understand the captain’s decision, sometimes that’s just fishing. Other than that the Swoop crew was super friendly and communicated very well with giving me back my refund. Hopefully next time we visit Destin the weather will be nicer for we can get out on the water with them!

Good mid-size party boat!
8 Hour Party Boat Fishing on November 23, 20251 adult
I went on a bottom fishing trip in November so our target fish were vermillion, trigger, and hopefully some red grouper and scampi. We made our limit for vermillion, got a handful of good trigger, and a few red grouper. We threw a lot of small fish back amd two sharks. overall it was a great trip for the price. It was nothing fancy, but good fishing and a good crew.
