Running angling trips out of Islamorada, Drop Back Charters invites you to discover the offshore waters in the beautiful Florida Keys!

Are you looking for action with a team of professionals? Capt. Jon aims to bring the excitement and put you on that trophy fish you want! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, and spinning. You’re looking at 3 to 8-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of Tarpon, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Wahoo, Snapper, and Grouper, depending on the weather and time of year.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 40’ Custom boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat features a toilet, ice box, and fighting chair. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. As for fishing licenses, everything will be taken care of by the captain, so you don’t have to worry about it.

You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip. Here to help you with anything you need, the first mate will be on hand during the journey. Leaving a tip for a job well done is much appreciated. The boat will be supplied with bottled water for your pleasure, and you’re welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks if you want. This is a children-friendly charter.

Explore the fishing capital of the world with Drop Back Charters!

Great day on the water with Capt. Jon!
3/4 Day Trip – Offshore (AM) on February 12, 20252 adults
My son and I booked a last minute trip with the Drop Back. Captain Jon was great to work with! Super knowledgeable, really friendly, and makes you feel at home the second you step aboard. His mate, Craig, was outstanding! He worked nonstop to keep lines baited and in the water and a lot of fun to fish with! I can’t say enough nice things about these two guys - I highly recommend!
