Why Choose the Southern Star?
More Fishing Time
Cruising at 35-40 MPH, we get you on the fish faster than most boats. Thanks to our Rhodan GPS trolling motor, we “anchor” with the click of a button. We can easily move spots if the bite is cold, wasting no time at all. Our CMOR Mapping chip has helped us find 100’s of great spots.
Family Friendly
As a father of two young children who love to fish, Capt. Scott knows how to keep kids having fun and catching fish all day long. A primary reason Scott chose his 27’ Southport was to ensure his own kids feel safe and comfortable when going offshore with him.
Comfort
In addition to the boat’s soft, dry ride, you’ll be spoiled by our e-Sea Rider bean bag chairs and Sea-Deck cushioned floors whether you’re sitting or standing. The massive 11 ft. T-top provides tons of shade, and our step-down bathroom has 6’ of stand-up clearance.
Flexibility
While it is always the captain’s call regarding whether sea conditions are safe enough, it’s important that you enjoy your fishing charter. If conditions are “safe” but rough, we’ll find a better day to take you or issue a refund. We watch the forecast closely and communicate clearly.
Exceeding Safety Standards
We highly value your safety and our own. In addition to all Coast Guard required safety gear, the Southern Star is equipped with a Coastal Commander life raft, Furuno radar, a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB), 3 VHF radios (1 handheld) with GPS and Distress buttons.
High Quality Gear
Like our boat, our fishing gear is of the highest quality. From the Star Rods, Shimano & Penn reels, down to Yo-zuri fluorocarbon leaders and Mustad circle hooks - everything on our boat is top-notch. We spare no expense to ensure your day with us is amazing.
