Smith Bay in St Thomas, US Virgin Islands, offers more than sun-drenched beaches and vibrant island culture—it’s a prime gateway to offshore fishing adventures with Double Header Sportfishing. Operating from the Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina slips N-24 and N-25, this charter specializes in deep sea fishing excursions that bring anglers face-to-face with the Caribbean’s dynamic marine life and the thrill of the chase.

The waters around St Thomas teem with species like King Mackerel, Barracuda, Strawberry Grouper, and Triggerfish. These rich fishing grounds are fed by the island’s rugged underwater topography, where coral reefs give way to deeper channels and drop-offs, setting an exciting stage for trolling and bottom fishing alike. Double Header Sportfishing’s 40-foot boat offers a stable platform for groups of all experience levels—from beginners feeling the rush of their first catch to seasoned anglers honing their skills.

The charters typically last between four to eight hours, providing ample time to cover multiple fishing techniques. Captains like Nathan, Matt, and Krymsen bring hands-on expertise and a personable approach that balances instruction with freedom, tailoring the experience to individual comfort and skill. Their dedication ensures everyone reels in fish, creating memorable moments whether it’s kids biting on their first catch or groups aiming for quantity over trophy-size.

Beyond the catch, guests appreciate the genuine island hospitality and a clean, well-maintained vessel that handles the Caribbean swell with confidence. A distinctive aspect of this operation is their practice of keeping a portion of the fresh catch to supply local restaurants, supporting the island’s culinary scene and sustainable fishing practices.

Double Header Sportfishing positions itself as a standout in the St Thomas outdoor recreation scene—providing engaging, accessible access to deep sea fishing that highlights the vibrancy of the USVI maritime ecosystem and the thrill of ocean sportfishing in one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful settings.
