Drop Zone Shark Fishing was created to give others the opportunity to catch sharks from the beach. We are located in Destin, Navarre, Santa Rosa Beach and Panama City. We offer custom trips in other parts of Florida and Massachusetts. We offer trips during the day for smaller and mid sized sharks and trips at night for big sharks. Targeting Greater hammerhead and Tiger sharks takes a lot more effort than the other species and we specialize in catching them. We have all custom reels and make our own rigs and gear. We use drone and professional kayakers to deploy the bait up to 800 yards off the beach. We can fish in up to 50 mph and 7 foot waves so we do not cancel on you. If you are looking for the best shark fishing experience in the Gulf this is it. Fishing for sharks off the beach is far superior to pulling them beside the boat and leaving the hook in their mouth. From the beach we can get a proper family photo and release. Sharks migrate which means we catch different species at different times and locations so if you have any questions about what’s biting feel free to contact us. If you want to do a Massachusetts send for massive sharks contact us.

Perfect for families since you’ll be fishing right from the beach, allowing anyone to come and go as they please if they need to leave early.

I’m hooked! Captain Zach & his crew were on point with everything. The knowledge, experience & teamwork displayed by everyone was amazing to see in action. Multiple fish were used to lure in the sharks from multiple Lines in the water set at different depths in various channels. We caught 5 sharks in total starting off with 3 black tip in the 60-90 lb range. We then had A bigger bite that took our entire 14 family members for A heart pounding fight as we each took turns reeling until we saw A giant emerge from the dark waters. We landed A beautiful 9ft Lemon Shark!!!!! Zack & his team set us up for some great pictures as we all helped to release the giant back to sea. The night ended with 1 more great fight as we pulled A giant black tip weighing over 120 lbs easily. They taught my youngest son how to fillet A shark and sent us home with more meat than we ever expected!!!! I definitely recommend Captain Zack & his crew and may God bless all your adventures in life! Go get you some!

Zachary and his team were fantastic—friendly, accommodating, and truly passionate about shark fishing. It’s clear that shark fishing is his life, making him the perfect guide. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and always eager to answer questions. While he couldn’t make any guarantees, he was confident we’d land at least one shark—and he was right! We reeled in a 7-foot sandbar shark. The crew handled everything, from top-quality gear to expertly deploying bait hundreds of yards offshore using a kayak and drone. The process alone was amazing to watch.

My son and I had the chance to fish with this amazing crew, and it was easily the most thrilling fishing experience I’ve ever had—and I’ve done a lot of fishing! These guys are experts who know exactly how to put you on the sharks. Over six hours, our two groups landed an incredible nine sharks, including two massive ones over 10 feet long and 400 pounds! Huge shoutout to Zach, Fernando, Ivan, and the entire team for their dedication and effort in making this trip one to remember. I’ll definitely be booking again! If you’re up for an action-packed challenge, don’t hesitate—this is the trip for you!

Zach has an incredible understanding of shark movement throughout the year and knows exactly where to find them. By deploying massive baits, he increases the chances of hooking a shark quickly. I was beyond thrilled when we reeled in a massive 12.5-foot tiger shark—the biggest I’ve ever seen! Zach and his team worked swiftly to remove the hook and ensure a safe release for this incredible catch. If you’re in the Florida Panhandle and looking for a one-of-a-kind fishing adventure, I highly recommend Drop Zone Fishing Charters!
