Mate Barbie is the ultimate mate. She is a work horse, she doesn't stop working from before we got on the boat until after we left. When spending 3 days with the Southbound Capt. Rich also gives you living accommodations which are great. I definitely recommend booking your trip with the Southbound. Here's a few pictures of some of the fish we caught. As I said this is just a few of what we caught. Thanks Capt. Rich and Barbie.

Jeremy, our boat captain, was a nice guy, and treated us to a fun 6 hour fishing excursion for just…read moremy husband and I. $600. His boat was a fine fishing boat, but nothing too fancy. Good: 1. Nice guy 2. We caught some fish. I think our total was 5 dolphin fish, and 2 tuna. Bad: 1. Smoker... annoying to those who don't smoke, and pretty unapologetic. I understand smoking and boat captains seem to go hand in hand, but it is simply not very courteous to your patrons. 2. Music... he turned on satellite radio and asked what we wanted to listen to: I promptly said Reggae. After about five minutes, he said this is driving me crazy and changed it to his station of choice. 3. Time... He told us to meet him at the docks at 7:00 am to leave. He wasn't there, as he was out getting bait. By the time he got back, and got everything set up, it was after 8:30 before we pulled out. He extended our time on the back end, but this messed up our day. 4. Swim... We booked a longer fishing trip to include some snorkeling. We never got in the water. My husband wanted to reel in a sailfish, but we didn't get that. All together, it was a fine fishing trip, but customer service was lacking.

Captain Rob deserves 10 stars!! Wife and I did an 8 hour charter and loved every minute. Rob is…read morefun, witty and one heck of a fisherman! We knocked the crap out of the fish in several locations and loved the fact that when the protected fish bit in one location we reeled the rods up and left instead of weeding through them and leaving a trail of dead "protected" fish behind us for a couple in the cooler. We spent the day listening to other charters whine about the tough bite and empty coolers as we hauled in a limit. If you hire anyone else in Key West...it's your fault if you go home less than thrilled. I barely got the wife fed and back to the hotel before she fell asleep exhausted from reeling fish in.

This was a complete waste of my money. negative 5 Stars. Imposter pro chameter guide. Anyone who…read moretargets sharks in south Florida is just simply stealing your money unless you are a 5 year old. I won't use fishing booker again, not recommend it for anyone. I've been fishing for 45 years. I have my own boats. Run my own charters. This dude is bad all around for any fisherman. Aggressive demeanor. Assumes you know nothing about boating or fishing. Called him out on it immediately after anchoring 15 miles offshore. Told him I could help him with whatever he needed. His words. "Best thing you can do for me is to stay out of my way". Told him he was really uptight. He seemed surprised and asked me again what I said, so I repeated it. He dialed it back a bit but the tone was already set. Trying to diffuse and make things less stressful for my brother, who is not a fisherman, I spoke with Scott about his profession in key west. Told him I have vast experience with boats and fishing. He admitted that he knew nothing about fishing when he moved to FL from Fort Wayne Indiana. Asked him about some basic fishing knots. He seemed disinterested. Saw him tying clinch knots which is basic but good for light yellowtail. Asked him about his feelings on the Albright for braid to flouro. He had no idea what it was. Seconds later, my brother has a decent fish on and tells him to reel against the drag while I'm telling him to reel down and pull up. Well he reels against drag. He is not a fisherman. Scottie keeps telling him to reel...only to yell at him after he lands the fish but does not keep tension on the rod AFTER the fish is on the boat because the line gets coiled at the tip. Only guy on this planet that will tell you to keep the bail closed after the fish is on the boat as he's trying to get the fish off of the hook. It's only because he is telling his clients to reel against the drag and his line is completely sprung out. Even the novice fisherman reading this knows this is either completely wrong, or that this cap Scottie is fishing with 8 year olds every day. Also, be prepped for a 30 year old single engine boat which he admitted to. Rear gunnel not suited for offshore. 1 ft in rear. 2 in front. I gave him 100 tip only because he showed compassion for feeding a chicken some dog food at the dock when we got back. I have this entire trip on my go pro. Vid don't lie. I will await his response before I release the footage. I am now a lower keys resident so I'd be happy to meet Scott at HB for a candid conversation in person you choose. I saw your extremely offensive responses to so many other customers. I would love to discuss in person. Lots you do right. Lots you do wrong like all of us. Fishing is supposed to be enjoyable whether you catch fish or just enjoy the day on the water. Nothing but stress on this trip from the second we stepped on the vessel. I should add that my brother did catch a short cobia but Scottie released it before I could snap a photo. We also did catch 4 keeper yellow tail and a lane which he cleaned nicely. I would've thrown them all back and paid 2000 bucks more for a better charter experience. Man it's tough to leave such a bad review. I know what it takes to run a business like this. It's hard. Really really hard and nobody is making a killing doing it. I just don't want others to have the feelings that we were left with. Maybe this should be a kids charter only.
