Drop Off Sportfishing aims to provide you with the best experience and utmost customer service. We can take up to six anglers on our private charters. Depending on the trip that you choose and the bite for the day, we will typically travel around 6-16 miles from shore, and based on the season, the target fish will include Mahi Mahi, Snapper, Grouper, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Sailfish, and many other species.

While we may be new to Fishing Booker, we are not new to sportfishing!
Check out our 120K followers on Instagram @dropoffsportfishing, and be confident in your choice to book with us for your next sportfishing adventure.

With over 15 years of experience on the water, the captain will do everything possible to put you on the fish. Some techniques that will be used include trolling, bottom fishing, live baiting, wreck fishing, and deep dropping.

As of August 1st, 2025, we have transitioned from our 42' Post Sportfish to a more reliable and versatile vessel: the 2000 29 ft SeaVee Center Console — a faster, sleeker fishing vessel built for both inshore and offshore adventures.

Our fishing vessel is a comfortable center console with 360-degree fishability. The boat is rigged with a livewell, electronics, tackle, tuna tower, and safety equipment. Its prime docking location at the Perry Hotel and Marina. Please note that some of our photos may still feature our previous vessel due to a recent change. Rest assured, the quality of your fishing experience remains just as successful.

We will gladly clean and filet the fish you wish to keep and help you with everything you need during your time with us. Drop Off Sportfishing ensures quality safety and fishing equipment onboard and will provide all necessary gear, lures, bait, and fishing license.

Bottled water is on board, but please feel free to bring any snacks and drinks to be stored in the cooler. We also suggest that you bring sunscreen, hats, and any motion sickness medication you may need.

A great guy!

VERIFIED

The captain’s family had twins so he could not man the helm. We were sent out with a more than capable captain. Knowledge, attentive, and constantly chasing the fish. We caught just about our limit, saw a bull and tiger, and wrestled with an Amber for about 20 min. Came home with a bunch of fish, but the experience with Steve (our replacement Capital) was worth every penny. These folks work hard. Our experience with this charter was fantastic . Would definitely recommend and will be calling again.

Hooked on Mahi

VERIFIED

Captain Craig and his first mate Justin were beyond incredible. Craig put us on the fish and Justin made sure our lines were tight and that we were hooked up. Both Craig and Justin were very knowledgeable and encouraging throughout the trip. We did a 6 hour trip with 5 people and there was plenty of room. We trolled for the Mahi and we took home about a dozen or so with us. Craig and Justin filleted and bagged out catch for us. This was our first trip out and we had a blast. Definitely recommend!

Variety is the Spice of Life

VERIFIED

Arrived and soon were aboard the Double Wrap. Capt Craig and first mate Brett took care of us and those are two hardworking dudes. Once we well well off shore we put trolling lines out. Brett was organized and efficient and soon had us rigged up properly. We trolled almost three hours and caught one nice Mahi Mahi. We then began fishing along a reef and ended up with a variety of jacks, a red grouper a couple of huge pissed off baracudas and one rather large nurse shark. We used nice rod’s and reels. The guide furnished bottles of water and the boat had air conditioning and a very nice and clean head. Saw a large sea turtle when we were coming in. The guide cleaned and bagged our catch and we had enough fish for a couple of meals.

Great day with Drop Off on the Double Wrap!

VERIFIED

Can’t thank Captain Craig and his crew enough for a great day on the water for my wife and I and our two son in laws. Just for the fishing alone I would take them again, they put us on some nice fish all day! But more so because of Captain and crew. Knowledgeable, professional, friendly and fun! That level of service is not always found, these guys killed it! Thanks Craig, Brett and Riley for making such a fun day for us! We stayed at the Perry, which made it very convenient for logistics. A cold front pushed though but we still managed to find some great fish. Many Kings, some very large, a black fin tuna, several large cuda, a couple of Bonita and a yellow tail or two. We brought most of our catch after they were fileted up to the restaurant and fed all eight of us dinner for the night. The chef did an amazing job, even cooked the yellow tail whole fish! Highly recommend that service! We don’t get down this way too often, came in from New Hampshire, but it certainly gives us more reason to return. Highly recommended!

Great Family Fishing Experience

VERIFIED

We had a fun trip with Captain Craig and first mate Justin. The conditions were unfortunately rough and prevented us from catching as much as desired, but we still caught (and released) a barracuda and young mahi, as well as a sizable amount of yellowtail snapper. Captain Craig even helped teach us about marine life and pointed out sea turtles along the way. Great recommendation as well to take our fresh catch to a local restaurant for lunch!
