Captain Jay recommended a morning cruise as temperatures would start in the 70's rather than the 90's this time of year. We had a fantastic experience! The boat slip is so close to the Beau Rivage and Hard Rock casinos it's only a couple of minutes drive. We saw dolphins on the way out and back in, and were allowed to handle to ship's wheel a good portion of our voyage. Captain Jay was a joy to be with, extremely knowledgeable, and has an absolutely gorgeous yacht! Highly recommend adding a trip to your Biloxi visits!

Charter started late and ended early. The 4 hours I paid for was actually 3 hours. The fishing was…read morepoor as we only caught very small fish (12 inches long or less). Now, I realize fishing varies but I don't think the Captain gave it his best effort and was more concerned about getting back early. I don't think I would rebook, I'll try someone else in the future. Since I selected this charter based upon reviews that I read, I felt compelled to give this captain a good honest review. Disappointing!

He also did a great job of moving us around when we all had fish on the line. I appreciated Capt C-Bo cheering the Ohio boys on, hi-fives and getting excited for them while they were reeling them in. He and JT were really good at coaching the boys on how to get the big ones. JT cleaned and packed the fish for our drive home. We did take one bag to McElroys later that night who cooked them for us, great call C-Bo. If you are taking rookies or veterans, the fishing experience on the SYL is worth every dime.

Worst charter trip I've ever taken…read more Last week I chartered the VI (Southern Sports Fishing Inc) with nine of my friends. I should have known something was up when the captain arrived at the dock 2 1/2 hours late. After we boarded the boat and unpacked, the captain told us he was having engine trouble and had burned 20 gallons or oil in a two hour period. We were scheduled to leave biloxi at midnight but was delayed again because the engines wouldn't start. When one of the crew members realized the reason the engine wouldn't start was because the boat was in drive and not in neutral, we were finally underway. Trying to remain optimistic, I kept reminding myself that as long as we made it to the Chandeleur islands safe that we would spend very little time on the ship and three full days out on the water catching fish. Day 1: Arrived to the Chandeleur islands an hour and a half late and missed the morning bite due to engine problems. Lost another hour and a half due to engine problems on three of the skiffs. Unfortunately had to tow one of our buddy's skiffs behind us to go wade fishing so he and his son wouldn't be stuck on the mothership. By lunch, only two out of six skiffs were operable but still had fuel issues on the two. During lunch the ice machine on board broke. The second half of the day we fished near the mothership due to skiff engine problems. Day 2: Was told by the captain that the crew stayed up all night working on the skiffs and that everything was working great. By 2pm we found out from a neighboring boat (because our skiffs were not supplied with radios) that three skiffs were stranded and broken down. The captain took off in a skiff to try and fix the three stranded vessels. While the captain was gone, the owner tried to relocate the mothership from new harbor island down to the pelican so we would be closer to our friends that were broken down. At this point, we had issues getting the anchor up bc of problems with the anchor winch. After the anchor was up, a component in the engine room broke and started flooding the engine room. After the captain returned back to the mothership, he informed us all to constantly pump the fuel lines on the skiffs while driving or "jiggle" the fuel tanks to keep them running (you can't make this stuff up). By 5pm, all but two skiffs needed to be towed back to the mothership. We told the captain we were very unhappy and demanded to cut our trip a day short and go home. The captain apologized and eventually agreed to give each of us a partial (1/3) refund. After arriving back at dock, the captain went back on his original offer and only refunded a fraction of his original offer. This captain has no business being in charge of a boat, crew or guests. We never once felt safe on this trip and should have been given full refunds. DO NOT use Southern Sports Fishing.
