DOWN SOUTH CHARTERS
OUR PASSION IS YOUR ADVENTURE
OUR MISSION
IS YOU
Our top priority is creating excitement, enjoyment, and lifelong memories for you and yours.
We want to share our passion and knowledge of what the marine world has to offer, as well as the beautiful culture of St. Croix and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Our goal is to ensure that by the time you step off our boat, your party is already planning your next adventure to our amazing island.
When it comes to catching fish, we get excited! Fishing isn't just a hobby at Down South Charters, its a lifelong pursuit of understanding what makes fish “tick”. Our professional experience includes multiple college degrees focused on fisheries biology, as well as decades of fishing knowledge in many differing styles and areas. Our captains and crew are always learning, studying, and looking at new ways to improve the client experience.
We love finding out about new fishing spots and keeping our ears to the ground to learn about what’s hot and effective. Our ultimate goal is that you catch the trophy fish of a lifetime, but we'll settle for teaching you tricks, sending you home with sore arms, and creating experiences you'll never forget.
Snorkeling and exploring the reefs are must-do's while visiting St. Croix! If you've ever had the chance to experience snorkeling, then you're aware of how mesmerizing oceanic life can be. We encourage everyone to take a glimpse into this beautiful world that makes up so much of our planet.
Our captains and crew take your safety very seriously and we have several precautions in place to make sure our guests are safe while enjoying these activities. We have years of professional experience teaching snorkeling and have attended multiple, accredited safety courses.
Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned veteran, we can accommodate you. Even if you don’t swim, we can introduce you to snorkeling in a comfortable manner. Come see what you've been missing!

Captain Randy Brewington
I grew up in Middle Tennessee as a kid who couldn’t get enough of the outdoors. Backpacking, fishing, hunting, and playing sports as often as possible. My parents used to tell me that when I was young, after a heavy rain, I would want to fish in the rain puddles in the front yard (a sign of early obsession?). Tennessee will always hold a special place in my heart, but I’ve dreamt of the ocean as long as I can remember. I was certified as an Open Water diver at 17 and became even more infatuated with the marine world. I made several dive trips to the USVI and BVI with my uncle and fell in love with the beauty of the Virgin Islands.
In college, I studied Biology with a concentration in Marine Sciences and graduated in 2009 with my first bachelor’s degree in this field. In 2010, I finished a second bachelor’s degree in Wildlife & Fisheries Science. Soon after graduating, I moved to Fort Lauderdale, where I began my professional career on the water working as a mate on different fishing charters. I started off on the drift boat and moved to sport-fishing charters after 6 months. It was the job I’d always dreamed of.
Living in South Florida, I was able to advance other hobbies such as free-diving and spearfishing. The reefs in South Florida are accessible from shore and make for some excellent drift-dives from the beach. It was during this time that I decided to pursue my captain’s license. In May of 2017, some friends and I visited St. Croix for the first time. I told my friends that week, “this is a place I could see myself living.” Six months later, I was packing my bags for the move. I’ve been on St. Croix ever since and am happy to have made this beautiful island my home.
