Captain Gavin and crewman Jay were the best. We had a group of 8 for my birthday and selected the 4 hour trip. We arrived 20 minutes early and everything was prepared. We were very fortunately the weather was perfect and everyone caught 2-8 fish each. Gavin took us to several spots and Jay was busy measuring fish and keeping us instructed on what to do and avoid. Jay cleaned our haul and we had Zeke’s restaurant cook it for our lunch. It was a great day and I give them my highest... Meer

I was very nervous about the trip as the most important part to me was being able to get our disabled son and his wheelchair on the boat safely and to be able to include him in what we were doing for the day. The crew were super helpful and it was so easy to get him on and off the boat. Then they kept us on fish, and we’re not just helping us with fishing, but we’re sure to be talking with him as well and showing him the fish and everything that was going on.

As our group continues to grow, we had to look at bigger boats this year. Southern Star was just what we needed, and, since we won’t outgrow their boat, we look forward to many years of fishing with them. Gavin and Andrew were fantastic, kept our boys (10, 11, and 15) on fish all day, were entertaining and enjoyable to fish with, and sent us home with a happy crew and with more fish than we have ever caught.

The fishing trip was the highlight of our vacation. We took the 6hr tour leaving the marina at 6:30am. Our captian was Gavin and our crew mate was “Monkey’.  He prepped all the equipment and was running around the entire time we were fishing. We caught and kept 18 Red Snapper and one Trigger fish.  There were 6 adults and a 6 year old in our group.  We fished on The Southern Star and I woould search for and reserve the same boat next time. Let me add, thhat there were... Meer

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... Meer
