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. More

We could not be any more happy with the experience aboard the RipTide. The captain Brian and his first Micah we’re very welcoming and all around awesome people to spend our 4 hour trip with. Micah was very experienced in the stern and Brian ended up putting us on an amazing sailfish and got it done! Would highly recommend booking with these, guys we will be back again soon!

We wanted to experience near-shore bottom fishing this time around and Riptide delivered with constant action. We fished 70 to 140 feet depths and caught Brazillian Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Strawberry Grouper and Rock Hind. We also got put the light tackle to the test catching a 6 foot Nurse Shark to close out the trip. Captain Brian and First Mate Mike were great, answering questions and making sure we had everything we needed to really enjoy our trip!

Some real deal fishing and the guys on the boat firing on all cylinders the whole time. Nothing beats fresh yellowtail sashimi just a few hours after pulling it out of the ocean yourself!
