Great first time Charter Fishing experience

5 hour trip - 1:30 PM8 adults

Family of 8 went charter offshore fishing for the first time. We caught mackerel, red snapper, bonita and a monster King Mackerel. Captain and first mate were super helpful and always had us on the fish. Made it easy and comfortable for everyone including my teenage daughter and wife to fish and bring the fish in. Would absolutely fish with this crew again when we come back to Gulf Shores. This was a life long family experience that I would recommend to anyone.

    Amazing Family Outing!

    5 hour trip8 adults4 children

    We had the best time with crew on the Southwind! Cpt. Brett put us on fish from rhe first hole all throughout the morning. We had four kiddos in our group and Deck Hands Harrison and Marshall did a tremendous job of assisting them, helping them boat rheir fish, rebait and get back in the action. We caught a ton of fish, not ALL keepers, but you aways need to leave some for next time. The ones we did keep were great fish, including a huge, 33.5” red snapper for one of our older boys. One of the other boys caught another really nice snapper and we ended up with a mixed bag including red snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Albacore Jack and a surprise bonus, Mahi Mahi! Would 1,000% recommend a day on the water with Cpt. Brett, Harrison and Marshall. the Southwind delivered memories our families will treasure for years to come and that 33.5” snapper will find its way to my oldest son’s wall in a few months. Thanks Cpt. Brett and crew. you’ll see us again! -Kyle

    Best Charter Around

    5 hour trip11 adults

    Best charter around. Put us on fis right from the start. Not much spot hopping and by 9:45 we had caught our limit of Red Snapper for the boat. Awesome Captain and Deckhand. Nice boat loved the fact you could walk around the entire boat. cabin was nice with super cold a/c blowing to get out the summer heat.

    4 Hour Trip – Intro7 adults4 children

    we had the best time! Brett and Harrison took such good care of us! We were a group of three adults and four kids, and everybody had an amazing time and everybody caught fish! We caught enough keepers to take to lunch with us and the restaurant at the marina cooked what we hooked!! we had so much fun and looked so happy that people who saw us leaving the dock immediately started asking us which charter we had taken and how they could too!
