“The combination of red-hot blue marlin fishing just 25 miles offshore and the luxury that awaits back at Scrub Island is pretty unbeatable anywhere in the Caribbean. The North Drop is just one of those legendary fishing hot spots that keeps hardcore anglers coming back year after year.”

Sam White
"We love fishing the North Drop—and have for a long time—for a lot of reasons, but mostly it’s the consistent bite. You can bring the wife and kids along, and if they don’t want to go fishing, they can explore around the island, go kayaking, or visit the Baths on Virgin Gorda."

“It’s a place that will spoil you, that’s for sure. You can go 3-for-4 here on some nice aggressive fish, and it’s just an average day. The consistency is what keeps us coming back. At Scrub, you’re basically 20 to 25 miles from some of the best blue marlin ­fishing in the world.”
