Fishing charters in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands
The North Drop, roughly 20 miles northeast of St. Thomas, is one of the most famous blue marlin grounds on earth — a sheer edge where the shelf falls away toward the Puerto Rico Trench and bait stacks up against the wall. Summer full moons here are legendary for multi-marlin days, and the fishery made the Red Hook charter docks on the island's East End a fixture of big-game lore.

Booking a St. Thomas charter: FAQ
How do I pick a fishing charter in St. Thomas?
Match the boat to the fishing you want: Crews pull lure spreads at speed along the edge and pitch-bait raised fish; winter trips switch to the South Drop for wahoo and mahi. Look at what each operator targets, then check the live conditions in Baitful before locking a date.
When should I book a charter in St. Thomas?
The prime season is June–October (peak July–September around the full moons). Good boats fill up well ahead of peak months, so book early and keep an eye on the forecast.
