5 star ratingAwesome day swordfishing!!! Fished with captain Mike varney and first mate Lee on Tuesday Oct 22 on nicks 42 freeman “Broadminded”! Specifically targeted swordfish and what an epic day!! Despite the rough seas we were able to land 2 and release one. Captain and first mate worked well together to give us a great experience and memorable day! Will definitely re book and highly recommend!!

5 star ratingGreat spot to grab a fishing charter. From what I hear it's much cheaper than key west. Pre order some lunch from the trading post up the street and bring it along. I can't wait to book my next trip and spend at least 2 days fishing.
