Southern Star Outfitters
There’s a fish with your name on it in Orange Beach, and Southern Star Outfitters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Bobby and Captain JR can tell you all about them.
The fish in these waters include Red and Vermilion Snapper, Scamp and Gag Grouper, Triggerfish, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, and more, depending on the season. You’ll target your catch by spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
You’re welcome to bring home any fish you catch, assuming they meet regulations and your captain will provide rods and reels.
Your adventure will be on board the Southern Star, a newly restored 47’ Jersey vessel that can accommodate up to 16 guests. It has a toilet and AC. Young ones are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Bringing snacks and drinks is a good idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach. Don’t forget your sunglasses and sunblock (non-spray).
A First Mate will be there to assist you and make sure everything is running smoothly. It’s customary to tip the Mate 20% at the end of the day to show your appreciation. Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask, and your captain can tell you more.
Now and then, the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen with Southern Star Outfitters!

Fabulous trip
The fishing trip was the highlight of our vacation. We took the 6hr tour leaving the marina at 6:30am. Our captian was Gavin and our crew mate was "Monkey'. He prepped all the equipment and was running around the entire time we were fishing. We caught and kept 18 Red Snapper and one Trigger fish. There were 6 adults and a 6 year old in our group. We fished on The Southern Star and I woould search for and reserve the same boat next time. Let me add, thhat there were other boats returning at the same time, one of them caught 5 keepers and the othe caught only one, yikes. I credit our catch to our captain trying different spots and both of our crewmen giving us good instructions, keeping our hooks baited and on how deep to drop our lines.

Amazing People
We were a group of 7, with kids, and this crew did an amazing job. Exceeded my expectations on all accounts. Captain Bob put us on the fish and Andrew made sure we caught them. Captain Bob can park a boat on a dime, so you’ll be in good hands. None of us got sea sick, which I attribute, in part, to his skills behind the wheel. Andrew handled his job with professionalism and humor. Really enjoyed his personality. Fish was cleaned to perfection. When we come back to fish again, I won’t use anyone but these guys. Great humans. Book with confidence.

The boat was in great shape with air conditioning when needed. Captain Gavin dropped us right on top of great fishing! Monkey exceeded our expectations, working with the kids and keeping the bait on the hooks!

We did the 4 hour trip…had the BEST time! 5 dads and 5 kiddos all catching fish and having a great time. We caught so many fish! They cleaned them all and we took our catch to a local restaurant afterward for lunch. Captain was great finding good water and the mate kept our hooks baited and ready to go. Really great day on the water! Highly recommend Southern Star.
