Our Charter Fishing Trips

The most popular Orange Beach fishing charter fishing trip we offer is the 6 hour. It offers the right amount of riding and fishing.  For more serious anglers, we offer a 10 hour full day private charters during the off season, that takes you way south of Orange Beach out into federal waters some 30 to 50 miles offshore.    During the peak season for fishing charters in Orange Beach, which runs from May 20 to August 15, we offer two 6 hour trips daily.  These 6 hour trips depart at 6:30 am and at 1 pm.  You have a choice to get up early or let your family sleep in.   Fish bite just as well in the afternoon as they do in the mornings.

Rates, Prices, Fishing Charter Reservations

Our rates and prices are competitive for our size charter boat and with all of the amenities we provide.  Your Orange Beach fishing charter reservations are secure, quick and online.  Unlike many other fishing charters near Gulf Shores, we don’t need an up front deposit from you to hold your spot or confirm your trip.   A simple credit card on file is all you need.  Also, since we book our own fishing trips, there is no middle man taking a cut off the top.  This way, we can give you the best rate and still have the fuel budgeted to get you to where the best deep sea fishing happens, just south of Alabama’s gulf coast.

All of our trips come standard with a fishing license, bait, tackle and complimentary fish cleaning.  You only need to bring your food, beverages and any protective clothing or gear you need.  Please read our policies page so you can get familiar with them.

Fish You Can Catch While Deep Sea Fishing

The most common fish we catch while deep sea fishing in Orange Beach are reef fish and migratory fish.  Reef fish inhabit the artificial and natural reefs we have offshore year round. Migratory fish move through usually during the late spring, summer and into the fall when gulf waters are warm.

Reef fish are caught while deep sea fishing or over artificial or man made reefs that are located offshore, where Orange Beach Fishing Charters can easily reach.   These species include species like red snapper, triggerfish, vermilion snapper (beeliners), red porgy (white snapper), scamp grouper, gag grouper, greater amberjack, almaco jacks and many more.  Migratory species are usually caught while trolling fishing.  They include fish like king mackerel (kingfish), spanish mackerel, bonito, wahoo and jack crevalle.

We encourage our guests to keep all the fish they want or need.  However, if you have no plans on keeping and eating any of the fish, we offer “Catch and Release” trips.  We are the first charter boat to have a conservation minded approach to deep sea fishing.  You can read more about your fish here, so you can decide what you want to do with your catch.
