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.

Captain Gavin and first mates Steven and Monkey were wonderful. They put us on fish and were awesome to hang out with. We got a limit of red snapper within minutes.

If this was a trip where we didnt catch fish, I’d still recommend to fish with these guys any day.

Can’t wait to go back.

Only booked four hours because we had teens and a 6-year-old. Even with the smaller trip, we were in the Gulf and caught about six Red Snappers (keepers at least). Caught some mackerel while trolling as well. Kids had a blast. Knowledgeable crew and we will have the marina prepare the fish tonight.

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.
