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.

Our fishing trip was spot-on!! The boat was ready to go when we arrived at the marina. We received our safety instruction and left out for the ocean. Captain had advised that the ocean was a bit choppy but we would make it work. He kept us moving along with the fishing, finding nice spots for us to catch the red snapper, the Spanish mackerel, bonitas, even caught a couple trigger fish. The deck hand was phenomenal running between seven fishing adults. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about the different species of fish. He explained all the seasonal regulations around the fish we were catching. We learned a whole lot from our experience from him. We caught many fish, we threw back a lot too! We were joined momentarily by a couple dolphins who wanted to play. All in all, a great experience. If you have any type of motion sickness, take Dramamine before you go. My 7 year old grandson did not fare well but that has nothing to do with the crew or the boat. We had a great time and highly recommend Southern Star Outfitters to anyone looking for a good fishing experience.

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.

Captain JR found spot after spot where they were biting! Deck hand, Andrew knew about every fish, hustled to keep all our lines baited, and spent time with each child reeling in catches and posing for photos! It was a stress-free, worry-free, incredibly enjoyable trip! We can’t say enough about Southern Star Charters!

This was my 6th trip fishing in the gulf and by far the best hands down. There were 8 of us. 8 limits of red snapper.  Caught vermillion and black snapper along with sea bass. Over 50 keepers total. Probably threw 60 back. The captain and deck hand were spot on. They knew their stuff and worked their tails off. Great guys and a great boat. Will use them again and recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great experience fishing.
