There's a fish with your name on it in Saint Thomas and Top Shot Charters will help you catch it! With Captain Carlos at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Tarpon, Bonefish, Gray Triggerfish, Red Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Sailfish, Great Barracuda, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and whatever else is biting.

During the trip you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Carlos also offers kite fishing. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Top Shot Charters welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea for a boost of energy when needed!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 27' center console with space for 4 passengers. It comes with downriggers, a 30 inch pedestal, and all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Top Shot Charters!

We had such a great time fishing and hanging out with Carlos. He was so relatable it was fun in itself just getting to hang out with him. He is very knowledgeable and made the experience great.

Capt. Carlos runs trips out of Christiansted aboard 27' PR spider Center console. The crew will demonstrate techniques such as bottom fishing, spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, fly fishing, or something unique to the area. For special requests, such as kite fishing. Working with famed Marlin Captain Jim Estrada of Black Pearl they posted and amazing first season together with top charter boat in the 2015 Atlantic Blue Marlin Open. Early 2016, he moved over to a private tournament boat, Rukus, with Captain Jerry Emmanuel in the British Virgin Islands. Their third day together they posted first place and the win in the 2016 Scrub Island Invitational Daily. Later that year they racked another placement getting third in the 2016 Virgin Gorda Marlin Open. 2017 wins include 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the Junior Angler Wahoo Jamboree in Virgin Gorda BVI. In a short 3 years Carlos had established himself as one for the best hands in the islands. Late 2017, he gets the opportunity in St John USVI to join Captain Joshua Bourg of World Class Anglers group fishing on a 36' Carolina Classic. Ive then starting fishing for OTC charters in St.Croix fishing with wicked tuna star robert earl and outdoor personality host heather smith where we won 2 overall for the dames and dudes tournament, 1st 2nd day 1st calcautta winer. Ive then started my journey with Ocean surfari adventures from 2023 till present. Would love to take you out on the water!
