Where to start, the boat is excellent big and very stable. We had no issue cruising at 30 knots to the near shore fishing spot 5 miles from shore. Fishing trip went well with a very lucky near shore Mahi Mahi which I’m told was quite rare. Hooked up to several Spanish Mackerel and one spinner shark that got away at the surface. The marina was easy to locate and free parking plus lots of good restaurants nearby for after. All in all best bang for the buck fishing I’ve done ever with excellent... More

Me and my three fishing buddy’s enjoyed a fabulous trip yesterday with Capt Ben. Boat was fully loaded and on time to head out of WBNC to deep blue sea. Within 30minutes we had Gag Groupers on the boat!! He knew his spots and tough us new catching techniques that delivered! He knew when to move and was open to all our questions.. We caught over 2 dozen fish! Limited out on Grouper and caught over 6 different species of fish. Red Snapper, King Mackerel, Bonita, Sea Bass and more… More

Booked a morning trip with Ben. What an awesome guy ! Fishing was a little slow but he was determined to catch fish and we did. We all had a great time especially our 10yr old son who already wants to go back ! Thanks for an awesome experience and we look forward to doing it again !

Been fishing for 40 years.  Hands down one of the best charters I have been on.  Captain was extremely respectful and professional in every way.  We caught a variety of species while bottom fishing.  Sea bass, porgy, flounder, red snapper, grouper.  8 hour trip was worth it.  My only regret is I actually don’t live in North Carolina to be able to go more often.  Highly recommend.

Best experience! Never done a charter before. Captain Ben made it an awesome trip. I will definitely be fishing again with Ben of Southern Run again. If you want a great guide and captain definitely use Southern Run Charter! Thanks again Ben and if you find yourself in Minnesota and wanna catch some walleye hit me up.
