Fantastic captain, boat, and fishing
3/4 Day Trip (AM) on August 6, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

Eric was awesome to work with and was able to come get us from St John. He made it super easy to coordinate meeting up and was great at explaining our options, what we might catch, etc. It's easy to tell when you have a captain that's as excited about fishing as you are and he definitely enjoys being on the water and getting you on the fish. If you're new he'll explain how to handle bringing in sport fish and if you're old hat he'll trade stories. I'll definitely be going out with him again next time we're down this way.

We Had the Best Time!
Full Day Trip on July 17, 2026 • 2 adults

We booked an 8 hour trip. Eric took us trolling at the North Drop where we caught a few black fin tuna, bonita, and a barracuda. I started feeling a little nauseous so we went to fish a reef. We caught so many types of fish: red grouped, yellow fin grouper, red mutton, Atlantic shark, trigger fish, yellow tail snapper and a Mahi Mahi! At the end of the trip, I hooked a tarpon too! The boat was clean and Eric really took care of us! Eric was knowledgeable about the fish and the area. It was a great day and we totally recommend this trip!!

Fun memories!
Half Day Trip - 2:00 PM on July 16, 2026 • 4 adults

We came in July when fishing is a little slower, but we still caught fish and ones that we were hopefully to catch and see. Captain Eric talked us through options on how many we would catch and type in different locations. Our daughter gets motion sickness, and he worked hard to help prevent it (as much as he had control of). He taught us lots about the area and fishing, lots more than a previous sea fishing experience we had on another island. We enjoyed eating what we caught. Would definitely book with him again!

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
Yellowtail Snapper
Red Grouper
Gray Triggerfish

Book With Confidence
3/4 Day Trip (PM) on July 13, 2026 • 4 adults

We’ve been fishing in the Caribbean for over twenty years and bringing my son since he was ten. We first met Captain Eric years ago when he worked for another charter company. Over the years we’ve been out on many boats, but now that Captain Eric has his own boat, Virgin Islands Fishing Charter is the only boat we’ll book. He’s knowledgeable and works his ass off to get you the fish you want. So tip him well! And great with kids. I have some of my best memories with my son thanks to Captain Eric!

Epic trip!
Half Day Trip on June 30, 2026 • 1 adult

Caught 30+ fish in 4 hours - to the point my arms hurt! 10 species of fish with the largest being a King fish that took two hands to hold. Eric is a hard working professional who’s done it all. He listened to what I was looking for and knocked it out of the park! Highly recommed - not to mention taking my catch to Tarpons table for a fresh caught lunch - exquisite! Wonderful place with a family felt vibe recommended by the capt! Truly an epic day I won’t soon forget.

Reported catch:
Yellowtail Snapper
Gray Triggerfish

    My family had a great experience. Was nice to get some of the fish cooked, but seems like a discount on that end woulda been nice & was kinda expected from our previous experiences. But the excursion was top notch. Thank you captain Eric.

    We booked a fishing trip as part of our honeymoon and had an incredible time! Capt. Eric was awesome to work with. He was highly knowledgeable, had pristine equipment, and went out of his way to coach us up and show us a good time. 5/5 would recommend this to anyone and will 100% re-book when we are back.

    We had a great morning with Eric and would highly recommend. He gave us the choice to further out in rougher water to chase the bigger fish or stay closer inland and catch more smaller fish. We opted for for latter and had a great 6 hours. Eric was patient and helpful. The boat and ewuipment was also in great condition. No hesitation to book again when we come back.

    My wife and I had a great time. Captain Eric went the extra mile to get us on fish. Hit several spots, and picked up Mahi, Black-fin Tuna, Rainbow Runner, Yellow-tail & lane snapper, and more. Ended the excursion with a bang. We landed a monster Tarpon. Great afternoon! Thanks!
