Miami swordfishing charters are a specialized deep sea fishing experience targeting broadbill swordfish in the deep offshore waters of the Florida Straits. Thanks to Miami’s close proximity to the Gulf Stream, captains can access steep ocean drop-offs where swordfish actively feed year-round.
These powerful pelagic predators can exceed 12 feet in length and weigh over 1,000 pounds. Successful swordfishing requires deep drop techniques, electric reel setups, and heavy-duty tackle operated by experienced Miami swordfishing captains who understand offshore positioning, drift patterns, and seasonal movements.
Most Miami swordfishing charters focus on daytime deep drops in waters ranging from 1,200 to 1,800 feet. Night swordfishing trips are also popular, as swordfish rise closer to the surface after dark. Peak season typically runs from April through August, though opportunities are available throughout the year depending on conditions.
Miami is one of the top swordfishing destinations in the United States, offering fast access to deep Gulf Stream waters just minutes offshore. This means more time fishing and less time running to distant grounds.
