The Vessel

Fish Aboard the Swords & Sickles

The Swords & Sickles is our 2025 35-foot Freeman catamaran built for speed, range, and serious offshore performance. This boat allows us to reach distant fishing grounds quickly, giving you more time to fish and increasing your chances of landing trophy fish.


Freeman boats are known for their smooth, dry ride and ability to handle offshore conditions comfortably. With cruising speeds between 35 and 40 mph, this vessel is designed to get you where the fish are without wasting valuable fishing time.


This boat was specifically added to support longer offshore trips, including 12-hour and extended tuna and swordfishing trips. It is built for anglers who are ready for a true offshore challenge.


Every detail of this boat is built around efficiency, reliability, and serious fishing capability.
