David Koty5.0VerifiedAwesome fishing trip!
5 Hour Trip–Inshore (AM) on September 22, 2026 • 2 adultsMy wife and I were vacationing in the Orange Beach area and had booked with Southern Sun prior to arrival. Southern Sun's site perked our interest, and we were not disappointed. Captain Charlie is awesome, and he is very knowledgeable about where the best fishing spots are in the Orange Beach area. Captain Charlie's fishing excursions are very personable and instructional on how to best fish the Gulf waters. My wife and I were taken to spots known for Redfish and Speckled/White Trout and given instruction on the best methods of catching the fish. Trout were the fish of the day on our outing. The Redfish were present but not receptive to being caught. My wife and I had an awesome time with Captain Charlie, and we will definitely book with him again the next time we are in the Orange Beach area. Thanks Captain Charlie for an awesome time on the water! You're the best!
Chris SchlutermanRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFishing Fun on Southern Sun!
6 Hour Trip - Nearshore (AM) on June 10, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Charlie put us on some big donkey red snapper! He was very accommodating for our family. He allowed us to use some of our own hand-tied hair jigs to hook into some different species. And he was mindful of our sea-sick prone family members to keep us comfortable during our trip. We will look at booking with Captain Charlie on Southern Sun again next time we visit Orange Beach!

4 Hour Trip–Inshore (PM) on March 26, 2026 • 2 adultsSuper easy boat access, and a friendly marina. Captain Charlie was very knowledgeable and his other boat captains are great too! We really enjoyed the trip and caught a couple goodsized sheepshead and redfish. We would recommend Southern Sun Magic for any level-family trips, beginners or more seasoned fishers. Thanks for a great afternoon, Charlie!
