My 14yo son and I had an absolute blast with Bryan. He was friendly, knowledgeable and you can tell he actually enjoyed being there! Bryan was quick to take our fish off the line, tell us a little about them and even show us how to take the best pictures. We caught some great keepers and some great releases and lost a few battles with some big ones, but it’s all part of the experience! My son said “This is the most fun I’ve ever had in my life!” If you’re looking for a thrilling, deep sea fishing adventure, book with Bryan! You won’t be disappointed!

After an amazing trip with captain Bryan last July we knew that we’d be back this summer for another charter. This was the BEST decision we could have made. Captain Bryan took us out about 18 miles off shore and set us up to fish the bottom. Before long we were hooked on snapper, B-liners and the most fun catch of the day, a massive cobia. Captain Bryan was calm and cool under pressure, helping and guiding my brother on reeling in this beast and bringing home a 40lb fish. We had some fun hooking up some sharks and saw a ton of wildlife while fishing. I said it last trip and I will say it again, I can’t recommend a better charter for the Sebastian area. If you want a knowledgeable, friendly and skilled captain to put you on the fish, Southern Thunder is the way to go!

The captain of this boat is excellent for beginner and experienced anglers alike, a storm had rolled through days before our trip and despite rocky rough conditions and sea sickness, he put us on fish at every spot we checked. Jacks, snapper, red drum and more! He was incredibly kind and patient and we even took time out of the day to rescue a stranded boat after it’s engine failed. He also let the charter run an extra 20 minutes to account for this. He is truly the best of the best and I won’t be using any charters besides him in the future.

We have gone with Bryan three times and always have fun.  He’s a great guide and is patient with families and novice fishermen.  We’ve always caught fish, even in poor conditions.  Highly recommend!

We booked a half day charter for myself (mom) and my two boys 14 & 12. Bryan was so amazing with my boys. He was courteous and patient teaching us how to fish. He taught us about all the fish we caught. The boys are hooked on fishing and it all thanks to Bryan. I am already planning a trip for our next visit. We slayed the fish and had a amazing day.
