THIS COMPANY HAS EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS! GREAT JOB!Highlights:... reservation experience, fishing, pregnancy, fish for food, extending the tripCapital Richard and his first mate Edward have done an exceptional job taking my husband and I on a private 6-hour fishing trip. During the reservation process, they promptly responded to my email and phone call, answered all of my questions, gave an honest feedback on the fishing situation at that time.Upon arrival, they were there on time, greeted and oriented us to the boat, provided a safety brief, and asked us about the exact type of fishing we desired. We ended up having a great deep sea fishing trip, caught several Mahis, lost several Mahis, and caught a gigantic barracuda that we let go. Edward has been very accommodating and informative. If you want to learn or get hands-on experience - this is the place. Other than that sit back, enjoy your refreshments, and wait for something to bite.P.S. We have never seen anyone reel in 3 rods so fast when the 4th one had a bite.If you have a successful fishing day and want to eat what you caught, these guys will cleaned and prepare the fish for you, and will recommend you some restaurants in the area that will cook your fish.When confirming the reservation details I asked about extending the trip time and was told it is possible if no other reservations were made that day. When we asked about extending our time one hour prior to the end of the trip the Captain said he had already turned back and headed to shore. If you want to extend your trip, it's better to ask about it before you begin your trip.I was in my second trimester and the trip was completely safe. There's also a head on the boat. I also received a very cute baby shirt for my baby as a gift to remember.Overall, great job!read more

This was our 2 charter with Southbound and the experience was without tarnish!... Capt Rich was out of town and put us in the hands of Capt Andy and Capt Edward, both having decades of knowledge and experience in the waters of Key West. While Capt Andy scouted and navigated for the best areas, Capt Edward did a phenomenal job at managing the chaos of us having multiple lines hooked… all 5 at one point! Needless to say, we WILL be back to book another trip (as should you).read more

Captain Rich provided my family with a very positive fishing experience. Our... most important objective was to have a fun and engaging fishing trip. With 6 adults of varying levels of fishing background we mostly wanted to catch fish. Captain Rich delivered! The charter was a very positive experience for each of us. A+ super good time!read more

Captain Rich and his First Mate did a great job putting us on fish when boats... around us struggled. The action was consistent and exceeded our expectations.The ocean was choppy and a cold front came through a day before. Captain Rich knew exactly where to go and put us on fish immediately.We will be coming back and highly recommend Southbound Fishing Charters.read more

We could not have asked for a better trip. Captain Richard and his First Mate... Ben, worked very hard to make sure we had a great time. We booked the package that included 2 full days of fishing and three nights in a cabin. The cabin was close to the marina, comfortable, and perfect for us. We caught tons of fish - Cero Mackrel, King Mackrel, Yellow Jack, Yellowtail Snapper, and Barracuda. We saw manatees, dolphin Nd hammerhead shark too! Ben cleaned and filet all the fish, organized them by type, and packed them on ice for us. He even set aside a special bag of filets for us to take to a local restaurant so they could cook it up for dinner. Richard let us borrow his vacuum sealer so we could get the fish prepared to take home. I could go on and on! We will definitely be back!read more

Capt Richard and mates of Southbound fishing have provided us with multiple... productive, exciting days of fishing with memories I won’t forget. Richard is very knowledgeable and uses his experience to put you on the fish! In the four times we have fished together, we caught Multiple species, including 4 nice sail fish and had an hour long battle with a 42 pound Bull Dolphin! If you want to come down to the keys and have a great time with the best chance at your fish of a life time, go with Southbound! Accommodations at the cottage were great both times as well and it’s placed in a very convenient location (close to the dock and close to the nightlife). Thanks to mates Steve, Paul, and Ben for your assistance and hard work. Hope to be back soon.Chris and Stephanie.read more

On 6/4/19 I took my dad fishing with this outfitter. We had a blast!! The... Captain and Mate are a boat load of fun (no pun intended haha), and extremely knowledgeable. The Mate worked his butt off keeping everything running smoothly! My dad had such a great time he can't wait to be able to do it again!! If you are going fishing in Key West this is the guy you want!! My only wish is that he wasn't so busy and would post our fishing picture. haharead more

We had a great day fishing with Rich and Ben! They were excellent... even... though the seas were very “sporty”. They made the experience and made sure we were ok at all times with the rough waters! They wanted us to catch something to bring home so we went even further to catch some black fin tuna after we already caught and released some bonitas and barracudas. I would definitely recommend using them for your fishing experience in the Keys! We can’t wait to come back!!read more

Richard and John are the best in the business. Richard is the best captain I’ve... fished with, his first mate John is first class and also the absolute best. Two knowledge guys that try their hardest to get you onto fish and do a great job doing it. They’re a fun crew and love what they do and it shows. They’re military friendly and great people to spend a day on the water with. Our group had experienced fishermen and someone who was a first timer, and everyone had a great time. I don’t write reviews,ever. Good or bad. I just felt like I absolutely had to after the amazing day we had with them. We did a 6 hour trip and caught over 20 Mahi and some jack. What a day. Won’t go to anyone else in key west from now on.read more

Best captain in Key West, period. We have been fishing on the Southbound for... over 20 years, and we don't go offshore fishing in Key West with anyone else. Captain Rich knows the waters, where and when to fish for target species, and how to keep the day fun for all on board.read more
