Nothing but awesome fishing and a beautiful boat

8 Hr Full Day Trip

We were met by friendly crew and Capt. Josh. He explained everything to us and went over everything on the boat before we left. Once out on the water it was nothing but tight lines and awesome fishing for the rest of the day. Another plus was after a long day of fishing is that the crew cleaned and prepped the fish so I could just go home and start cooking an awesome dinner.100% recommend southern son. We will for sure be back to try snorkeling and a sunset cruise.

    Capt Josh got us on the Mahi-Mahi

    6 Hr Offshore2 adults

    We wanted to catch so green fish and Capt Josh made it happen. Almost 3hrs no fish then 4 inside 30min followed by a 5th another 30min later. We chose to stop at 5 to save somr for others. Lol. Actually 5 was enough for our needs. I would recommend booking with Capt Josh and I'll do it again.

    Great experience

    6 Hr Offshore3 adults

    We caught two mahi but werent able to get them on the actual boat. Captain Josh did everything he could to land us on more fish, but the company was great and experience was fun! Would recommend Captain Josh to anyone.

    Awesome fishing trip!

    6 Hr Reef, Wreck and Bay4 adults

    Captain Josh got us on the yellow tail and everybody got a catch, even some that had never fished before. He was very patient in teaching us how to haul them in. We also had 1 in our party with some physical concerns and the captain was very accommodating and made sure everyone had a great time and was taken care of. Have already booked my next trip!
