My son and I went fishing aboard Swoop and had a great experience. The staff was very courteous, patient, helpful and well experienced. We went out 21 miles and would have liked about another hour of fishing as the boat ride consumes much of the trip. All in all well worth the money and we got on a lucky trip with only 18 fishermen on our trip making it an even better value. I would not hesitate going with a larger group, primarily because of the professionalism of the crew.

Party boat fishing at it's best
I recently took my 3 kids on the Swoop while in Destin on vacation. We went early in the week so we would have fish for dinner while were down there. We did the 6 hour trip starting at 8:00 am. Every was great on the boat - the deck hands were very attentive and both worked very hard. The captain did a great job putting us on fish and when it slowed down he moved to where they were. Once we moved to a new spot and you dropped your line you would have a fish on within 45 secs of hitting the bottom. We caught 12 nice fish which they cut up for us. The trigger fish made great fish tacos! Would definitely book with them again.

Let me begin with... I’m generally skeptical of glowing reviews, and I typical don’t review products and/or services because it takes time. However, our experience warrants a review, and I hope you will find it helpful. ... read more

We booked an 8hr trip on April 1st with Captain Matt Wheeler and he was an amazing captain and he had an amazing crew! Very caring, made sure we were hydrated, told us how far to reel to get the fish, and when the fish were biting he made sure we stayed and got them!He told us exactly what to do so we had no questions. We loved this trip so much we decided to book again! Big mistake! Different captain (Nick Price) and crew. They were arrogant and rude (all except the youngest mate, he was funny and very helpful) The waters were a little rough that day, my friend was pulling in a trigger fish lost his balance and fell into the mate. My friend apologized asked if he was ok as this mate looked at my friend with a look like he wanted to kill him. Then the captain gets on telling my friend to... read more

Hi Michelle, Thanks for booking with us and sharing your experience! That second trip certainly did have some rougher conditions, so Capt Nick and crew had some other challenges compared to your first trip. The captain's job is to safely move the boat if conditions aren't ideal, so that may explain why you couldn't spend too much time in a spot. We do suspect that the conditions might have made it a bit more stressful for the crew that day to keep all the passengers safe, but we've still shared your review with the captain so that they are aware. Swoop normally gets terrific reviews, so this does seem to be an isolated incident. If there's anything else we can do, please don't hesitate to contact our office. Best regards, TripShock!

This was the best party fishing boat I have ever been on. We caught so many fish it was insane. The boat must have brought back at least 200 fish. The mates were an amazing help. I would 100% go out on their boat again. The only issue was that we did not catch much of a variety of fish. It was all just snapper and trigger fish. If you are out there to catch dinner then this is the perfect boat to go on. I just wished that on my trip we caught a few more species.
