About Your Trip

We offer a variety of multi day trips aboard the Southern Cross, our custom 54’ aluminum Breaux Bay Craft sport fisherman.

The “Cross” is a perfect set up for small groups wishing to experience premier guided and wade fishing at and around Chandeleur Island, the Biloxi Marsh, and Cat Island for speckled trout, redfish, triple tail and Tarpon.

With the Cross as a “mothership” on location, the guide boat can cover large areas which allows for more time fishing and less time commuting.

The Cross is equipped for private groups up to 6 and features comfortable bunks in an open configuration, 2 heads and a full shower. She has a comfortable salon with satellite television and a full galley.

The trip consists of your group leaving from the harbor aboard Southern Cross just before daybreak. We tow up to two guided center console bay boats and fish the first day. On the final day you will fish in the morning and head back around noon.

The Southern Cross is the only Chandeleur boat that offers guided fishing trips. Our captain and guides have decades of accumulated knowledge of these barrier islands, assuring your fishing experience will be top notch and tailored to your group’s needs.

All tackle, bait and fish cleaning is provided. You are welcome to stay aboard the Cross the night before your trip if you desire

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
