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
