Fantastic day
Passeio de dia inteiro em agosto 4, 2026 • 3 adultos
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 mate James. He was amazing. He worked his tail off for us and watched the lines like a hawk. When we did catch a fish he called out fish on and when we had brought it in he got the fish on ice and he had the lines re baited and out in record time. He was truly committed to making sure we got the most of our time. I cannot recommend them enough.

All Around Amazing Experience
Passeio de 3 quartos de dia em março 31, 2026 • 6 adultos • 4 crianças
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 at the marina. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend.

Unforgettable Experience
Passeio de 3 quartos de dia em novembro 13, 2025 • 2 adultos
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 that made it excellent. James is incredibly hardworking and patient with all our questions…. Will be coming back!

Capt. Travis is awesome! Non-stop action
Passeio de 3 quartos de dia em julho 3, 2026 • 4 adultos
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!

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.

Everyone was complaining that they weren’t catching any fish. Captain Brad and first mate, James did not disappoint. James kept 7 plus lines going effortlessly and we caught seven different kinds of fish from red snapper to Mahi Mahi. Took it to a restaurant and ate it same day and shared it with the restaurant staff. Nothing like it. Melt in your mouth fish! Thanks Captain Brad and James!!

Captain Brad and his first mate James did a awesome job. Captain Brad put us on fish, and James worked his butt off for us. It was greatly appreciated.

Capt Brad and our deckhand James worked hard to get us on fish while other boats were striking out. Very comfortable boat and plenty of room.

O que está mordendo com Southpaw Fishing Charters em Key West

A pesca no recife continua boa, mas pode ser ventosa. A Ubarana-focinho-de-rato escasseia nos bancos de areia, mas o Pompano-gigante está tão bom como sempre. O Veleiro e o Atum são apanhados sobre os recifes e a pesca em canais remotos é excelente.
