Drop Zone Beach Shark Charters
+115Drop Zone Shark Fishing was created by Captain Zach in 2021 to give others the opportunity to catch sharks from the beach. We are located in Destin, Navarre, Santa Rosa Beach and Panama City. We offer custom trips in other parts of Florida and the Eastern Coast of the United States. We have all custom reels and make our own rigs and gear. We use drone and professional kayakers to deploy the bait up to 800 yards off the beach. We can fish in up to 50 mph and 7 foot waves so we do not cancel on you. If you are looking for the best shark fishing experience in the Gulf this is it. Fishing for sharks off the beach in our eyes is superior to pulling them beside the boat and leaving the hook in their mouth. From the beach we can get a proper family photo and release. We specialize in bull, tiger and greater hammerhead shark fishing in the warmer months and Dusky and other pelagic sharks during the colder months here on the panhandle. Shark fishing is our life and we are on the sand everyday the weather permits either running trips, catching bait or dialing in the bite for an upcoming trip. We have spent years studying the migrations of every shark species here. We have many what would have been record sharks if killed. This is a new style of fishing only possible with modern gear. We are the most experienced in the area and showed the ropes to many of sharkers all over the world. Sharks are highly migratory so contact us about whats biting. Come shark fishing with the pros!

6 Hour Hammer and Tiger Shark Trip on May 18, 2025
Had an awesome experience with Zach and the crew at Dropzone! These guys know what they’re doing. They put me on two sharks and we even hooked into a massive hammerhead that took a wild run—unfortunately it hit the rocks and broke off, but what an adrenaline rush! They kayaked the bait out, set the lines perfectly, and made sure everything was dialed in for the best chance at a big catch. Super professional, but also chill and easy to talk to. If you're looking for a great time and a shot at hooking a large shark, I highly recommend Dropzone Shark Fishing. I’ll definitely be back!

ZAC ATTACK!!!
6 Hour Hammer and Tiger Shark Trip on March 21, 2025
Zac and Cole, your fishing abilities were very appreciated and allowed for me to remove a bucket list item, and for that, I truly appreciated your professionalism and expertise. My son-in-law and I had a memorable experience that we will never forget. If you are looking for the best shark fishing experience in the panhandle or anywhere these 2 fishermen are doing their thing, do not hesitate to hire them to do the job! Both have a true love of sharking and have knowledge that is deeply rooted to the area in which they are dropping line. They literally will do whatever it takes to land you sharks. EVEN HURRICANES WONT STOP THEIR EFFORT!!! During our expedition, other local anglers stopped to aquire Zacs methods and knowledge of the area, and he was very inviting and willing to share (absolutely professional). Two good dudes doing what they truly love to do! You guys are the best, and I look forward to meeting up with you guys again. Thank you so much, and FISH ON!!! 4 sharks caught on a 6hr trip on O'Steen Public Beach area Destin FL

6 Hour Hammer and Tiger Shark Trip on April 7, 2025
I was looking for an opportunity for my three boys (9/11/13) to be able to experience a chartered fishing experience, while on vacation in Destin. Zach and his team were great and they were awesome with my kids. Very knowledgeable and willing to share that with us. We had a ton of fun and created a memory that me and my family will never forget, and caught two different shark species. My kids are already asking to come back and do it again.

4 Hour Family Shark Fishing Trip on March 25, 2025
What a great trip. Capt. Zach is awesome. We caught two Sandbar sharks. My family and my brothers family had so much fun. The crew answered lots of questions from the kids and helped them fish. They were super knowledgeable. It was a great trip. There was something for everyone. We had family member that wanted to fish non stop and other that we just happy to tag along and sit on the beach. Will plan on doing this trip every time we are in this area.

9 ft Lemon shark & 4 Black tips
6 Hour Hammer and Tiger Shark Trip on September 18, 2024
I’m hooked! Captain Zach & his crew were on point with everything. The knowledge, experience & teamwork displayed by everyone was amazing to see in action. Multiple fish were used to lure in the sharks from multiple Lines in the water set at different depths in various channels. We caught 5 sharks in total starting off with 3 black tip in the 60-90 lb range. We then had A bigger bite that took our entire 14 family members for A heart pounding fight as we each took turns reeling until we saw A giant emerge from the dark waters. We landed A beautiful 9ft Lemon Shark!!!!! Zack & his team set us up for some great pictures as we all helped to release the giant back to sea. The night ended with 1 more great fight as we pulled A giant black tip weighing over 120 lbs easily. They taught my youngest son how to fillet A shark and sent us home with more meat than we ever expected!!!! I definitely recommend Captain Zack & his crew and may God bless all your adventures in life! Go get you some!
