The Swordfish Houseboat is a classic house boat completely remodeled in 2022. It sits with an Ocean View on the outside dock (behind the barn) at Bud n’ Mary’s Mairna. The boat is secured to the dock and doesn’t leave. There is NO cooking on this boat.  We also do not allow children under 15 to stay on the houseboats.

The Swordfish houseboat has one bedroom with a queen bed, smaller bedroom with two twin beds, a bathroom with shower, a futon, Satellite TV, A/C, a mini fridge and a microwave. Wake up on the water as you watch the sunrise over the Atlantic ocean! We have a minimum of a 2 night stay on the Swordfish Houseboat.

Fishing Reports

5 star ratingOkay let's start with parking, get there super early to get a good parking spot. Cute little cafe you can grab (good) coffee and breakfast before you head out. Also can grab some last minute food or beverages for the boat from the little store. Fair prices for oh crap I forgot. For starters I've gone on many deep sea fishing charters and the mates we had were the best yet. Dawson and Ray. They were helpful, funny and all around went the extra mile. Even got to watch bull shark and nursery shark feed at the end. They were both amazing. The captain was also super stellar. He unlike other captains I've experience was very involved. Any time he wasn't steering he was helping including filleting at the end. Very nice guy and made sure, without being pushy, that his crew was taken care of. I won't say I caught the most fish ever on this trip but I did catch the biggest variety I've ever caught. Very much enjoyed this trip. Would do it again. And caught plenty for dinner and a few days worth of leftovers!

5 star ratingGreat experience Mike & Matthew were great. Couldn’t ask for a better trip. Running out on a 42’ freeman was nothing but the best. We caught tons of fish and will be back again.

5 star ratingAmazing Everglades Fishing in the Keys Had the best fishing experience with Captain Steve Byrd. Been fishing with him for a couple of years and by far the best captain for back country fishing in the keys! Thank you for always making memories that are priceless.
