Fishing Traditions Begin With Distraction Charters

When you allow us to serve your family, you will experience something so valuable, it can’t be found elsewhere!

When you allow Captain Troy and the Distraction crew to serve your family, you will experience something so fascinating and valuable, that it can’t be found anywhere else in the Alabama fishing charter business.   Whether you have 1 or 6 people in your group, each of you will be treated like one of the family.   And boy do we treat our family good.  We act honorably and respectfully around you and your children.  We will always treat you with  kindness and be patient with everyone in your group.  Words are cheap, but our actions will show you how much we care about you getting the best fishing trip available in Orange Beach, Alabama.

The charter boat is open year round.  Our busy charter season begins each year at the beginning of March with Spring Break and continues through the end of October.  Our peak fishing time is from Memorial Day to Labor Day.  During this time period, we offer two 6 hour, private trips daily.

Mornings are popular trips for early risers, but afternoon trips catch just as many fish as mornings, but you get to sleep a little later.   All of our private charter trips are “G” Rated, Family and Kid friendly.  Since filling the freezer is no longer possible with any trip, we take you to catch a lot of fish, even if they are not in season.  We give you the option to “Keep A Few For Dinner” (KAF) or “Catch, Photograph and Release” (CPR).

Make Sure We Are The Right Fishing Charter For Your Family!

Just like you, we do our research about certain activities in Orange Beach before we invest in them.  Before you decide to book a trip with us, we encourage you to read our entire website so you will see exactly how we will treat a family like yours.  This way, you will be assured that your family is getting exactly what you expect and the best return on your investment.   We had rather be up front with you and tell you everything you can expect, than to embellish about something and later find out that we let you down.

Distraction Charters offers you is a chance to go deep sea fishing offshore without worrying about anything.  Don’t worry about the weather, the sea conditions, the fish bite or how we will treat you.  We calm mom’s fears, get your kids hearts beating with anticipation, help dad’s unwind and make grandparents feel like they have the best family in the world.  When you get off our boat, we want you to feel better about yourself than you did before before you got on the boat!

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

Family’s Trust Our Deep Sea Fishing Trips For So Many Reasons

When we started our company in Orange Beach, we knew we had something special to offer first timers.   Even today, the level of service we provide for family’s with kids,  is unheard of in the deep sea fishing industry.  The problem we identified when looking for a fishing charter, was finding one who doesn’t act like an eager salesman just trying to sell you a fishing trip.  That is now who we are at all.  We are solution providers for family’s like yours who want to go charter boat fishing but are worried about having a perfect trip.

Listening to our customers is important to us.  We found out that they want someone who makes an honest effort to put them on the fish.  They want a charter guide that tells the truth about what to expect and  doesn’t waste time by making you catch your own bait.   To us as parents and grandparents, it is important to find a company with a proven track record of being a reputable family friendly fishing charter that you can trust around your wife and kids.  Your family and kids are safe, and we let them have a good time and keep them from getting too bored while riding and in between fishing spots.

What we do for family’s is extremely rewarding for all.  Just knowing that so many people trust us to always put their interest ahead of our personal gain, is a win/win.

Some Fish Your Kids Catch, Are Bigger Than Usual!

How and Why We Get To Know Our Charter Fishing Customers

Believe it or not, Captain Troy cares enough to learn each and every one of your names and call you by them during your entire trip.  You can tell a lot about the captain your fishing with when they show you they care enough to learn everyone’s name in your group.  It is very important to know you and your kids.

Understanding that everyone different and has unique personalities, we make an honest effort to learn your personalities.  Some people are shy and others are not.  Our guides know how to tell the difference and try to help each person overcome what makes them who they are.  We are encourager’s and want everyone to be their best.  When we get to know you better, we make an effort to adapt to you, so you don’t feel overwhelmed.  Whether you are a famous person wanting to protect your privacy or just a regular every day American, we treat you the same.  When you are with us, we leave your title at the dock.

We actually love for you to bring the kids along.  We enjoy it when they ask us a million questions.  That is where we are so different than other Orange Beach charters.   We take you to experience fishing and everything that includes.  We are educators and want you to learn everything you can in the short time you are with us.  As you can probably tell, we are all about your family getting a good fishing trip and a fishing education.

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

If you want someone to treat you right, we offer the right amount of southern hospitality and charm.  When you combine it with some kindness, exceptional customer service and light tackle action, everything turns out just right, every trip.  Distraction offers our customers low price fish mounts for those who want a little more than a photograph to help them remember their charter trip.

Life Experiences Are Way More Valuable Than Possessions

Imagine your 12 year old catching a big mangrove snapper on his first 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.  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, we are not an alternative to other Orange Beach Fishing Charters.  There is a huge difference between we do for you and what our competitors advertise.  Sure, all charter boats take people deep sea fishing.   And yes, fishing is what you do while you are on our boat.   However, an education with some unique experiences is what you will come away with when you allow us to serve you.  Being your servant, is the most rewarding things we offer.

Red Snapper wiggle when you take their picture.

One of the biggest differences about us is, we are professional anglers and stewards of our marine resources.  Our guides are not hard core anglers that put a lot of pressure on you to fill the cooler.   Actually, we will not take anyone fishing who only wants go fishing just to fill the freezer.  That’s not what we do.  We take people fishing who want to catch fish and have a good experience.  If you catch a few fish for dinner, well that is alright too.  We want you to have enough fish for a few good meals.

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!
