We had high hopes for going deep sea fishing, and the hopes faded away fast. We spent over 3 hours of our 5 hour trip actually boating to the fishing destination. That left us 2 hours to fish. The boat trip was wet- DO NOT sit at the front of the boat when the boat is in motion!!! We got... More

Went on the 6 hour trip and it was fantastic! Loved the boat ride in the gulf and when Cap put us fish, we caught fish! The deck hands, Arden, Ed & Chad were excellent, very attentive to customers and a lot of fun. I would recommend this charter to anyone! A+ service and a great day in the gulf! More

The boat ride was 1.5 hrs to the destination and 1.5 hours back to shore. You have to bait your own hook with occtupus and unhook your own fish. The shortest fishing trip was 5 hours long. The boat left on time and came back on time. More

PROS: boat is nice, clean, good equipment, good bait, helpful crew CONS: too much boat riding, too little fishing. Six hour trip was more than four hours of boat riding. More

First you should know that TA maps the location of Swoop incorrectly. It is in the harborwalk marina down by AJs restaurant. I wanted to take my dad deep sea fishing for an adventure since neither of us had tried it before. The first day we were scheduled to go out, the boat had mechanical problems and they decided it...

The crew was awesome and extremely helpful! The trip was wonderful and the boat is spacious and comfortable! I have been on several deep sea excursions but none was as pleasant as Swoop. Definitely recommended for tourist, couples, families or going solo. More

Let me first say that I have only been on a private fishing charter and that if my only gulf coast fishing experience. On that charter we caught our limits of everything and were treated like VIP's. That boat was the Phoenix based out of Destin. This year my brother in law and I decided to save a little money... More
