PARTY BOAT FISHING CHARTERS DESTIN, FL

MEET THE CREW!

Welcome Aboard the Swoop II, where we strive to help you have a fun and memorable fishing experience!! With a history largely built upon the famous fruitful waters, Destin is known as the “Worlds Luckiest Fishing Village” which features the widest variety of catches in the Florida Gulf, and has 20 species of edible game fish. Located next to Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville, in HarborWalk Village, on the Destin Harbor, is the Swoop II. This deep sea fishing boat is one of the fastest in the Destin fleet. It is 65-ft long and able to hold up to 40 passengers. Whether you’re an avid fisher or a novice matters not. Our crew has over 90 years of combined knowledge and experience! We will give instructions on how to fish, provide you everything needed to fish, take you to some of our secret fishing spots, and do our best to help you have a great fishing adventure! Led by a professionally trained and licensed crew, your Destin Fishing Adventure aboard SWOOP II includes fishing tackle, license, bait, ice for fish, and even a few choice secrets locals have used to catch the “Big Ones”. The mates will be happy to remove fish from your line, put them on ice, unless, you wish to release them, and untangle the lines. It is customary to tip the Mates. We recommend 20% of the ticket price. Upon return, they will clean, filet, and bag your fish for .50 cents a lb.

GREAT DAY FISHING ON THE GULF OF MEXICO!

I went fishing on the Swoop II yesterday and had a wonderful experience and great day fishing on the Gulf of Mexico! The captain, Devin, and all star crew, Jeff, Oz, and Max, work great as a team and sincerely want to help customers catch fish and have fun! They are constantly unhooking fish, giving fishing tips, untangling lines, re-rigging poles, and when they have time, they hook fish and hand them off to customers to reel in. Today, I saw Jeff hook and hand off five Red Snappers, helping these anglers reach their two snapper limit! These guys want everyone to catch fish and have fun! Unfortunately, I messed up and accidentally buried a hook past the barb into my right index finger! Ouch!! Jeff and Max quickly took me in the cabin and offered to remove it for me... They put a string between the hook and my finger, I looked away, Max counted to three and snatched it out. I was amazed how they painlessly removed it! I cleaned the puncture, taped it, and returned to fishing! Now that's customer service!! I caught my two red snapper and also several vermillion snapper! It was a full boat, and everyone caught fish today. I highly recommend the Swoop II for families and seasoned anglers! If you visit Destin, you should really experience deep sea fishing on the Swoop II!

GREATER THAN WE EVEN ANTICIPATED!

A friend and I decided to take a fishing trip to Destin. Our first option did not work out as the storms put a halt to our plans. We decided to go ahead and stay an extra few days on our trip and I am forever glad we did this. As we were looking around we found Swoop II and it was greater than we had even anticipated. Not only did we catch a lot of fish and have a great time, the crew was fabulous as well. Thank you, Oz, Jeff , Mickey Jake, Max, and Devin for showing us the ropes and allowing us to come home with 45 pounds of fillets. We liked it so much, we went out five straight days and it got better every day. We could’ve came home with much more fish, however, we were able to share with a lot of other people that may have only gotten to go one day. There was not a day that people did not go home with fish. Great time guys and can’t wait to get back!

ME AND MY FRIENDS HAD A BLAST!

Me and my friends all had a blast on the fishing trip! All of us caught something (Vermillion & Mingo snappers.) One person caught a small grouper. We took the 6hr trip on a Saturday. 2hrs out to sea, 2hrs to fish & 2hrs back to the docks. After you get back they will fillet your catches for 0.50¢/lb! If you want to keep them whole, they will let you do that also (just ask before hand.) The crew was awesome! Very funny, cracking jokes the whole time and they are very quick at what they do to keep you fishing as much as possible. They even announce how many reels up from the bottom you need to be! All-in-all it is was a great first deep sea fishing trip for me!

THE BEST FISHING EXPERIENCE IN DESTIN!

The best fishing experience in Destin. Great captain and great deck crew. They work to get you catching fish, whether you're an old hand or a first-timer. Very kid-friendly. If you are new or just want to try out "deep sea fishing," this is the place to start. Prices are reasonable and Swoop provides all the equipment and bait you need. Just bring snacks, drinks, and make sure you bring something to haul your fish home in; if you listen to the instructions of the mates, you'll need it.

HAD A GREAT TRIP ON THE SWOOP II

Had a Great Trip on Swoop II. Weather was cool but clear and winds as calm as the seas. Captain moved three times to keep us on fish and the mates stayed busy dehooking our Mingos. Many thanks, great job.

PUT US ON SOME GREAT FISH!

Went out on the Swoop II with family celebrating my birthday. Capt. Devin was able to put us on some great fish! We even got distracted by a school of Mahi Mahi and still made it in on time. This is my second time on the Swoop and will be back.

TOWARDS THE TOP!

I've been on half a dozen fishing party boats and this one was definitely towards the top. The deck hands were so nice to my 10-year old daughter. They spent extra time with her, explaining how to use the rod and giving tips - increasing her chances of landing a big one. It was an hour and a half out, and an hour and a half in - so we had three hours to fish. That's standard on a six hour deep fishing trip. When we got back, the guys filleted the fish for us. Their prices are competitive and fair. Make sure to bring cash to tip ($20-35 per person, at least) and then to have them filet your fish (.50 cents / pound) afterward. When boarding the ship, if it's an extreme weather day, try to be one of the first ones in to grab a seat inside the lower level cabin - you'll have a much more comfortable early morning ride out if you're able to do that. I'll definitely look to use them again in the future.

A GREAT TIME!

This is our fourth trip on this boat, and once again we had a great time! Devin was our captain, and Oz and Jeff helped us out. Oz made sure to give my daughter extra help to ensure she brought in fish which made her trip truly special. Thanks for an awesome day!

THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!

We booked our first trip with Swoop II this week and they did not disappoint! The crew was very nice, friendly and attentive. We were excited to see Randy Harris, he is always making sure we have a great time! Can’t wait to do it again! See ya in May ❤️

TOTALLY EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!

Totally exceeded expectations - this is not like going out with dad back in the day and catching nothing. This crew had it dialed in thanks to quality electronics. Hit the bottom, 10-15 reels up and fish on. Special thanks to mate Oz who overheard me teasing my boy how I was going to catch more fish than him so he brought out his personal rod, good hooks, and fresh cut bait so that he could catch 4 giant red snapper and keeper trigger fish. He is an exceptional human being that truly cares about his customers’ experiences. Well done Swoop II captain and crew - we will be back.
