Heading out from the popular fishing destination of Biloxi, Mississippi, Charter Boat S Y L will get you out to the deep sea in no time. Specializing in offshore fishing trips, these guys are experts in helping you catch some of the Gulf of Mexico’s most prized game fish. Captain C-Bo and his son will be in charge for your trip, giving a familiar feel, and both are happy to lend a helping hand to anglers of any level.

Travel in style on this 32’ Bertram sportfishing boat that features a private restroom, plenty of shade, and ample seating for all guests. There are also twin 300 HP engines, which, along with the fishfinder and navigation systems, will make sure you hit the sweet spots before you even notice you’ve left the harbor. Stand atop the flybridge to get a better view and sense of what you’re catching or just enjoy the serenity of the open seas.

The boat comes equipped with outriggers to maximize your chance of hooking a big one, and you’ll be encouraged to troll or sit in the fighting chair to reel one in with all your strength. You’ll fish using Penn rods and reels, with live bait provided to really put you in control. Target species such as Redfish, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Red Snapper, Cobia, and others, before the captain will clean and fillet it for you to take home.

Anglers of all levers are encouraged to come aboard to learn what’s a real family tradition from Capt. C-Bo and his first mate. If you are a tad more experienced, then you’ll know that the Gulf has plenty to offer by the way of big game fishing, and Charter Boat S Y L will do its best to make sure you have a fantastic day out.

3 Hour fishing on April 13, 2024

This was the best trip I could have asked for... It was perfect, we can not express how good this charter was. I have a limited amount of space but #1) Our Captain: Professional, personable, prepared and so much fun, the absolute coolest. #2) Deck Mate? Justine, awesome... he made our trip the best experience ever. He too was the best. You absolutely can not go wrong with this Charter and crew. The Fish? Capt. put us dead on, we caught so many fish and half of us don't even fish, but Capt. and Justine showed us how throw, bait, and reel 'em in🤣. Side bar: Capt. is a pretty good dancer too😍. Thank you SYL for the perfect birthday fishing trip....see ya soon!!

6 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bait Fishing on August 2, 2020

We had a great time! We caught shark, redfish, king mackerel, and Spanish mackerel. The deckhand, Justin, was so awesome. The whole team were very professional and knew where all the fish were. We would recommend this charter and can’t wait for another trip. Don’t forget to pack your water!

6 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bait Fishing on September 28, 2020

We had a lot of fun fishing with SYL. We caught some really big jacks and a couple nice sharks. We were hoping for some reds but it’s not the best time of the year for them.
