Charter pricing is for the boat, not per person — every rate above covers up to four anglers. A deposit for half of the total is due at booking. Variations of charters available on request.
Overnight & offshore — coming soon. Overnight stays at the Chandeleurs and offshore trips for tuna, mahi and wahoo are being added to the South Coast schedule. Dates and pricing are being finalized — call to get on the list.
Tours & variations, priced per request. Dolphin tours, photography charters and bird watching across the marsh and the islands. Tell the Captain what you have in mind and he will quote it.
Service discount. Active or retired law enforcement, military, firefighters and first responders — contact the Captain for special discounted pricing. South Coast honors our service personnel year-round.
Fillet service on request. We will clean and fillet your catch and furnish ice to get it home safely. It is customary to tip the Captain as a gesture for the service — always appreciated, never expected.

Before You Book
Common questions.
For the boat, up to four anglers — not per person. A half day in the marsh and around Cat Island is $450, a full day is $900, and a dedicated Chandeleur Islands day trip is $1,200. Split it between your party however you like.
Licensing rules differ between Mississippi and Louisiana waters and change from season to season. Ask the Captain when you call — he will tell you exactly what you need for the water we are running that day.
Absolutely. Anglers of all ages are welcome, and family trips are some of our favorite days. Tell us who is coming and we will plan the water accordingly.
South Coast also runs photography, bird watching and sightseeing charters, plus dolphin tours. The Chandeleurs and the Biloxi Marsh are worth the ride even if you never pick up a rod.
Not yet — both are coming. Offshore runs for tuna, mahi and wahoo and overnight stays at the Chandeleur Islands are being added to the South Coast schedule. Call or send a request and the Captain will put you on the list for the first dates released.
Venmo, Cash App, or by calling with your credit card information. Card payments carry a 3% convenience fee. A deposit for half of the total is due at booking — $225 on a half day, $450 on a full day, $600 on a Chandeleurs day trip.
Safety comes first, every time. If conditions or other situations arise, we will work out a new date for your charter.
Yes, within legal limits — and we will gladly fillet your catch on request and furnish ice for safe keeping on your journey. It is customary to tip the Captain as a gesture for the fillet service. If you would rather release the fish and still put it on the wall, we take photos and measurements as a Gray Taxidermy representative.
