The 4 of us went out on a 8 hour trip on the Deep Sea Charter Boat the Swoop. The Swoop runs 5, 6, and 8 hour trips. The boat is what is considered a party boat. That means it can take out between 45 to 65 people. The day we went was the opening day of Amber Jack season and the boat had extra. I heard a deck hand say they over booked the boat and had 72 people. The boat took us off shore between 15 to 20 miles, fished in water depth from 70 to 200 feet.
Even with the boat being very crowded, we done very well . We caught some where between the 4 of us around 50 to 55 fish. Not all fish where keepers and some out of season. But a great trip, brought home 28 keepers. The Cost of the trip is roughly $100 per person for the 8 hour trip. That includes bait, licence, the fishing rod. The crew will clean your fish for free, but please tip them well they work hard on this trip. This is are 5th time going out with the Swoop and have been pleased every time. You can see in the pictures of the Big AJs, Big Red Snapper , and Big Groupers that where caught . We where lucky enough to have hooked a Good size Red Snapper this day. Others where lucky to catch the Ajs (amber jack) . It is my suggestion that for the cost Deep Sea party boat fishing is worth the cost compared to the cost of a Private Deep Sea Fishing charter. We have done both , and enjoyed both, but for the cost compare some party boat wins and is more worth the cost.
This trip left out of Destin Flordia.
