*we DO offer fish cleaning*

SouthWind Charters is exactly what the doctor ordered for anyone who has the itch to fish the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach areas. If you are looking for a fully customized fishing experience on your next holiday, you have found the right place.

Enjoy a lot of artificial reefs, cruise the coast and head up to 15 miles offshore. Most of the trips will most likely wear you out battling big and hard-fighting fish so get ready to have a nice light tackle and live bait workout.

All this fantastic sport fishing is available aboard the ‘Southwind,’ a 42’ Sea Harvester walk-around boat. Her twin 330 HP Cummins engines will power you to the hottest grounds in the area, and the top-notch electronics will help you locate the fish.

The Southwind is rigged with everything you need to make a great catch possible. As well as that, you will find plenty of space for up to 18 anglers, a flybridge to take in all the beauty of the surrounding areas, a comfortable restroom, and an air-conditioned cabin.

You will be able to catch-and-release Amberjack and Red Snapper year-round, target Barracuda, Cobia, and Red Grouper, go for Kingfish and Triggerfish and get your hands on Mangrove Snapper. Trolling, jigging, and bottom fishing will be your techniques for the day.

All trips come with quality rods, reels, and tackle, as well as lures, bait, and fishing licenses. Just bring your adventurous spirit and desire to catch some fish!

4 Hour Trip – Intro on December 28, 20253 adults4 children
we had the best time! Brett and Harrison took such good care of us! We were a group of three adults and four kids, and everybody had an amazing time and everybody caught fish! We caught enough keepers to take to lunch with us and the restaurant at the marina cooked what we hooked!! we had so much fun and looked so happy that people who saw us leaving the dock immediately started asking us which charter we had taken and how they could too!

5 hour trip - 1:30 PM on July 15, 20256 adults3 children
We sailed on the Southwind with Cpt. Brett, and Harrison and Marshall as deckhands. It was a great family outing! Everyone caught fish, even the 3 newbies. The crew got us on the spot, coached on how to get the bait into the fish’s mouth and how to get them to the boat before something else got our fish (those dolphins were almost as determined as us). I would absolutely recommend the Southwind to anyone looking to put fish into a cooler - no experience required!

We had an awesome five hour trip out on the water with our group of eight—everyone caught fish, especially some nice red snapper. We got our “trophy” fish too!! The crew was knowledgeable and friendly, making the morning smooth, successful, and memorable from start to finish.

We did the 5 hour trip and had a blast! Captain Brett and deckhand Harrison couldn’t have been more helpful for our family. I highly recommend this charter for anybody looking to have an experienced crew that will also take care of you like friends.

Holy Mackerel!!
5 hour trip on July 2, 20258 adults1 child
Outstanding day on the water! Capt. Brett commands a great craft. My family members hooked @ 40lbs. of fish, mostly Red Snapper and Mackrel. First Mate Harrison was friendly, knowledgeable and responsive to his customers. Bottom line (ha!) WE HAD FUN and a great DINNER that night! Thanks for the memories!
