Amazing, Fantastic trip

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM)5 adults

What a blast. Captain Lawrence put us on the fish. First mate Clemrick could not have been better. He was informative and worked extremely hard to make sure we all caught fish. He made the entire trip fun and exciting. We caught some large wahoo, king mackerel, tuna, barracuda and mahi. When we returned they cleaned the fish and recommended a restaurant for us to take the fish for our dinner. Best tasting fish ever. Book your trip

    Reeling them in two at a time

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM) • 6 adults • 1 child

    We took 6 people and were able to sit in the shade (the seating area is covered). Constantly rotated reeling in our 14 fish (mostly black fin tuna and one Wahoo). They are one of the few charters that actually let you keep all your fish meat (not just the meat off of a 20# fish like other boats, but don’t take more than you think you can eat) so book it early on your trip and save money eating fresh catch the rest of your trip. Bring a cooler/tote or something with ice to put your fish in. There are only a double and two single padded seats for your group but two can sit on the shell next to the single seats. Friendly and personable Captain and First mate. I would definitely book again and do it at the beginning of the trip.

    best fishing charter!

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore - 12:00 PM • 2 adults

    Captain(Thaddeus) and first mate (Micah) immediately made me and my friend feel welcomed, comfortable, and completely at ease. This was their first women’s-only fishing trip, and they truly made us feel right at home from start to finish. We spent the first five hours fishing and caught a handful of fish — two of which they cleaned, cut up, and prepared for us to take back. We were able to enjoy the fresh fish throughout the rest of our vacation in St. Thomas, and it was absolutely delicious. For the last hour of the trip, we headed over to Christmas Cove where we got to swim and relax in the beautiful water, which was the perfect ending to the day. The entire experience was fun, welcoming, and memorable. Highly recommend Riptide fishing charter, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again in the future!

    8 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) • 5 adults • 3 children

    Water was a little rough and I was sick from fumes from exaust,but I held on as best I could (4hrs) just so rest of family could enjoy the fishing trip the two crew members were absolutely awesome and stayed with it while I just hung on for all I was worth ,we ended up cutting the trip just 2 hrs short because I just could not handle anymore....still had a great time and the crew was 2 guys I'd appreciate to call friends now

    All around great experience!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Brian and Micah wade tue family fishing trip fantastic. both were very knowledgeable, friendly, and easygoing. We caught a bunch of fish and a big king mackerel. Micah was terrific with the kids. He skillfully filleted the fish for us and let the kids feed the scraps to the tarpon at the dock. I highly recommend Drift Charters.

    One of the Best Trips We’ve Ever Done.

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore - 12:00 PM • 5 adults • 2 children

    This trip was one for the ages. We took my son and 2 nephews 7 and 9 on this trip. The Captain and crew were amazing. Just told them fish on start reeling and let them jump on every pole. Great guys so much knowledge and fun. This is the best fishing trip we’ve done hands down.
