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... More

Capt. Brad runs a top notch charter. His ship was extremely clean. He goes to great lengths to help you catch what you are looking for. In our case it was sailfish. We had a very successful trip. Also cannot say enough about first mate James. He was on top of line placment and didnt mind answering our children’s questions. I would highly recommend taking your children on Southpaw. We look forward to doing this again!

Captain Brad and First Mate James know their fishing. They put us on tuna, snapper, mackerel, bonito, and more. Had an amazing day on the water when others got skunked. Best charter I’ve ever been on, and I’ll be back.

Captain Brad & First Mate James did their very best to take us out for Mahi on a 1/2 day AM trip (bit of a tall order on limited time). Though it was a slow day, we did catch 6 Mahi, and 1 was pretty sizable! The boat was immaculately clean and comfortable. Captain Brad cleaned the fish we kept and recommended a local restaurant for lunch. He was also very patient and responsive to my emails/questions prior to booking. We would have loved a bit more conversation from James teaching us about the... More
