    Lawrence is the GOAT

    3/4 Day Trip (PM) - Offshore on July 22, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 children

    Captain Lawrence was great from beginning to end. This isn’t our first nor 5th time deep sea fishing. Music on point, customer service on point, we caught a keeper within 10 minutes. We had a group of six and everyone got to chance to catch a fish. We will definitely book again. Thank you for a great experience.

Brian was great and very knowledgeable and we tried to get any fish and caught 2 barracuda and a blackfin tuna. we got hooked up with something bigger as well and wish we could have seen what it was but thats why they call it fishing not catching but i would 100% book with these guys again.

    Beyond expectations!

    3/4 Day Trip (PM) - Offshore on June 27, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    I'd hoped my boys and my mom could catch 1 good-sized fish each. We were landing fish all day! Mahi, Bonita, Barracuda, snapper, and Grouper were just a few we landed. We trolled the first few hours and bottom-fished the rest. Captain RJ was unbelievably awesome and patient and can multitask like few I've seen before. Go with this charter! You won't be disappointed.

    Had fun/unlucky with many fish

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) - Offshore on March 22, 2025 • 6 adults

    Trip was great! The crew and equipment were great and the job was completed as listed. No fault to the crew but the fish were not biting as we hoped. We did catch some tuna and barracudas so we were successful in everyone getting a catch but it’s normal to be more hopeful for bigger fish.

    The Best Out of a Crappy Day

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) - Offshore on December 19, 2023 • 2 adults

    What separates a good charter captain from a great charter captain isn't the number of good days, but how they deal with the bad ones. We went out on a bad day. 8-foot swells with a 2-foot chop and bad water color were the biggest struggles we had to deal with. Captain Davis showed his talent, experience, and resilience by facing the challenges head-on, being honest with us, and continually adapting. Eventually, it worked, and we started getting some bites. The way he ran his boat made me feel more like a fisherman than a passenger, making the experience more enjoyable and authentic, and I learned alot. If you're looking for an authentic offshore experience and not a touristy boat ride, I couldn't recommend Drift Charters anymore.

    Highly Recommend Drift Charters

    Half Day Trip (AM) - Nearshore on March 24, 2023 • 4 adults

    Went out trolling for Mahi Mahi and other pelagics, but had to cut that short due to sea sickness with a couple of people in our party. Captain Forrest more than made up for that by taking us to a couple of beaches to snorkel. The first beach had several sea turtles and was absolutely gorgeous. The second beach was completely deserted and was absolutely amazing. Lots of life in the water to see. He also gave us recommendations on where to eat and visit and said he was available if we had any questions during our stay, just text. Highly recommend booking with him and we will definitely try again next time we’re in St Thomas!

Amazing family fishing trip!
Reel & Chill - Fish & Snorkel on July 29, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

Thaddeus was amazing, really knows the area. He recommended staying closer to shore based on water and wind conditions. We ended up being only tour group from multiple different companies with any fish for the day. We brought in a kingfish and two mahi-mahi. We took the mahi to Tarpon’s table and had a great dinner.

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
King Mackerel (Kingfish)
