I would encourage anyone looking to go out with a family to consider southpaw. The pictures don’t really show it but the boat is set up super nice.  My wife appreciated that there was a bathroom and you can sit in the shade at “the kitchen table” and watch the rods or watch your son or anyone else reel in a fish. I don’t really know how else to explain it other than it’s very well thought out.  The captain definitely kept us on top of the fish but I can’t say enough about the first... Altro

Everything from the Captain, first mate, the boat, the fishing equipment, and all things in-between was fantastic. James, the first mate, was informative and very kind to a number of our first timers. The Captain knew exactly where to go to catch our bait fish and sailfish. About ten minutes in fishing we hooked a sailfish. After about 30ish minutes we landed it. Captain Brad called the day before to confirm everything, provide info about the conditions, and made sure we knew how to find his boat... Altro

This is the second time I booked with Southpaw charter and just as the first time, it did not disappoint.  We caught 14 Mahi and a very nice black grouper.  Captain Brad and his helper James were very friendly,helpful and patient throughout the trip.  They had lots of helpful tips on properly storing and caring for the fish afterwards.  I would not hesitate on booking with them.

Captain Brad and James were organized, tactical and hardworking - made for a successful and unforgettable trip. Choppy water but they made us feel very safe. Put us on 3 sailfish and caught plenty of eaters too. Could have brought us back to shore but fished to the last minute hunting down the 3rd sailfish. Sushi at the docks (incredible), filleted our fish, offered pictures, gave restaurant recommendations, gave us the leader of the first sailfish we ever caught - lots of attention to detail... Altro

Capt. Travis is one of the best fishing guides I’ve ever used (and I’ve used a lot). Great attitude and demeanor.  He asked us what we were looking to catch, and he delivered tremendous fishing action for every kind of fish we were looking for (snapper, grouper, sharks) immediately the moment we pulled up to each spot. My son and nephews had a blast, and were wondering about whether we could come back soon.  Highly recommend!
