First Time & Family Fishing Trips That Can’t Be Found Elsewhere!

At Distraction Charters, we understand how hard it is as parents to choose an activity for their family that will give them the best return on their investment (ROI).  That is why we became the first offshore charter boat in the nation to specialize in Family Fishing.   Having a wife and a deckhand that are both certified school teachers, we are constantly improving our charters to ensure that you and your children learn something new on every fishing trip.    Please continue reading below and find out how we do things differently and our guests get better results.

Teaching Anglers What Sport-Fishing Is All About!

One of the most important things you need to know as a sportsman is, we are doing our part to ensure future generations of anglers appreciate the sport of saltwater fishing.  We strongly believe in teaching you and your family how to catch fish in the simplest way.  We do this by using proven techniques that guarantee you catch more fish.

We teach you how to tie knots, bait your own hook and how to catch fish all by yourself.  We don’t fish ourselves or cast your bait for you.  We don’t fish with heavy electric reels or do anything that takes the sport out of fishing.  When a fish gets on your line, you will land it all by yourself.  Your guides will be there to ensure you use proper techniques, so you can improve your chances of landing more fish.   What we do is fun and educational.  Our goal is to let you enjoy the act of fishing, not just focusing on filling the cooler.  We teach patience and educate our guests about charter fishing.

When you allow us to serve your family, you will come away from your trip feeling a sense of pride or accomplishment.

We Enjoy Seeing The Smiles On Your Faces!

Our customers love catching big fish!

Having A Good Charter Fishing Experience!

What is different about us, is the excellent experience we offer while you are on our boat.  We don’t mess around when it comes to getting you to where the fish are. Instead, head on out and take you directly to the reefs that we feel will produce the highest quality of fish.   If the fish are biting good on the artificial reef, we let you catch them until they stop biting or you get tired of reeling them in.

When you choose the Distraction, we go to great lengths to include you on every little thing we do.  We always invite you to come upstairs and even take the wheel if you like.  We also explain how all of our electronics work and how we use them to navigate and to put you on the fish.  Our deckhand is awesome.  He will spend time with you and show you what he is doing, so you will learn how to tie knots, bait your hook and many more details.

We feel it is important for you to have a great fishing experience and we aim to give it to you!  When you get off our boat, we want you to feel better about yourself, than you did before you got on the boat!

We enjoy watching children’s faces while they reel in their first fish.  You will too!

Families know we love them and will always do our best to make them happy!

Life Experiences Are Way More Valuable Than Possessions

Imagine your 12 year old catching a big mangrove snapper on his first full day fishing trip!

We know that in today’s society, a lot of people are trying to keep up with the Jones’s.  They buy the latest and greatest objects, which stresses everyone out.  In our opinion, we believe our fishing experiences along with some quality photographs are what you need to be accumulating.  Nobody remembers what they get for Christmas, but they will always remember their first deep sea fishing trip in Orange Beach, Alabama with our company.  Everyone knows that fishing experiences are enjoyable from the planning stages all the way through the implementation of the trip.  Our goal is to make your life easier.

We love seeing grandpa spend time with his grand children with grandma looking on!

Guaranteed – To Be Unlike Any Other Fishing Charter Around

Sharing our love for fishing with your kids is what we are all about!

As you probably already figured out by now, we are not an alternative to other Orange Beach Fishing Charters.

Being family friendly is a way of life for us, not just a key word on a website designed to attract you.  It is important for you to know that when you allow us to serve your family, you will be with real fishing guides that care if you get a quality fishing trip.

We want you to get as much fishing time in as you can.  We focus on ensuring you have a bent pole on ever spot and you and your kids catch a lot of fish.  Our goal is to have you so tired of reeling, you will want to take a nap on the way home.  In addition to catching a lot of fish, we offer a little saltwater education with some unique experiences during the day, so your children don’t lose interest.  This is what you will come away with when you allow us to serve you.  Being your servant, is the most rewarding things we get to do each day.

One of the biggest differences about us is, we are professional anglers and stewards of our marine resources.  The reason we fish, is for the pleasure it gives us.  We are not freezer fillers or order takers.  That stresses everyone out.  Our guides are serious anglers that are now giving back and sharing our expert knowledge with our guests.  Our goal is to take you to catch a lot of fish, have fun, build memories with your family and if you like, keep a mess of fish for dinner.

Spending time with your children while they are learning how to fish is what we call “Quality Time.”

Families with Kids love fishing with Captain Troy

You will always remember when grandpa took you fishing!
