The trip was awesome and so much fun. It was a unique experience for all of us. Captain Shane was so helpful on explaining everything clearly and patiently. He knows his way all around the water. Will be back for sure and fish with him again!

Captain Shane gave us all a great experience fishing! We caught a ton of fish and had an amazing dinner the next two nights. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in town!

We had an amazing time. I would recommend going out fishing with Shane to anyone. It was my son’s first time fishing on a boat and he’s been stoked and talking about it ever since. THANKS Shane.

Captain Shane, owner of Southern Renegade Charters, showed us a great time yesterday. My son, grandson and I, who are at best novice fisherman, had a blast. Captain Shane was wonderful in helping my grandson on his first flushing trip. He put up on fun fish to catch immediately! We caught so many fish that we were worn out. I’d encourage anyone to use this charter service if you are in the area. We will be back.

This was the first fishing charter we did as a family. We chose the kid friendly option and it was the perfect amount of time for us - we have a 8, 6 and 3 yr old. Captain Shane was so attentive and made sure we all had a good time. I highly recommend Southern Renegade Charter! Our boys asked that we come back and do another charter with Captain Shane next time we visit the beach :)

We had a great time fishing with Captain Shane! My 5 year old daughter wasn't too excited about fishing, but after reeling in her first, she was all in! Shane was great with the kids and we came home with two redfish and a recipe for grilling them. If I'd have known the kids would eat all that fish, we wouldn't have released the other redfish!

Excellent charter! Kept us on the fish, super helpful with our 9 year old twins, and the friendliest captain. We will book this charter next time!

Family reunion in October brought us to Destin Florida and after research, we booked with Captain Shane. The boat was perfect for the 5 of us (plus the Captain). He put us on a lot of fish, caught a bunch, had a great time and would recommend it to anyone in the area. Thanks Captain Shane!!
