Southern Sons Charters is veteran owned and operated!!!!

If you’re ready to try fishing in Marathon, we’ve got you covered with Southern Sons Charters. Captain Josh will be your guide, which allows you to benefit from years of sportfishing experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Sailfish, Mangrove Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, and whatever else takes the bait. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.

Capt. Josh will bring you aboard a 45 Hatteras Express that holds up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. The boat is spacious, very well maintained and clean. A perfect way to enjoy your day on the water! The boat has a full kitchen ,couch, comfortable couch in the salon and near the helm as well as AC throughout the salon and helm!! Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

A 20–25% tip is customary to show your appreciation for the Capts hard work.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. It’s recommended to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

If you have any questions about fishing with Southern Sons Charters, you can send Capt. Josh a message below.

Awesome day!
6 Hr Reef, Wreck and Bay on July 13, 20254 adults
Captain Josh is the most straight up and honest guide I have ever booked, bar none. He didn't waste time riding around hoping to find fish, he put us on fish! I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to put meat in the cooler when fishing the Florida Keys.
Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

Great time with Capt. Josh, mani-mahi hitting it hard and took some nice fish, about 16 from 22 inches to 28 inches. Finishing it off with mangrove snapper about 10. See you after the first of the year, Capt. Josh.👍

Awesome fishing trip!
6 Hr Reef, Wreck and Bay on February 4, 20254 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!
Reported catch:

We are from Oregon and are normal fishing for Chinook Salmon. I had a blast with my wife and brother fishing and catching Mahi for our 1st time. We also caught Barracuda. Cptn Josh was professional and friendly. He takes good care of his boat. It is clean and comfortable. I highly recomend Southern Son Charters.
