Why Choose Swordfish?

A Practical Middle Ground

Swordfish fills an important spot in the Quepos fleet. It gives anglers more fishing capability and comfort than a small center console without requiring the budget of a 45- or 50-foot luxury sportfisher.

That makes it particularly attractive to couples, families and smaller groups who still want a legitimate offshore fishing experience.

  • Good value for offshore fishing
  • Excellent for small private groups
  • Bathroom onboard
  • Shade for families
  • Full billfish setup
  • Still practical for inshore fishing

One Boat, Two Fishing Styles

Offshore Billfish or Inshore Roosterfish

Swordfish is useful because you are not limited to just one type of fishing.

Offshore, the crew can troll for sailfish, marlin, tuna and mahi-mahi. Inshore, the boat can work reefs and rocky points around Manuel Antonio for roosterfish, cubera snapper, jacks and grouper.
