Orange Beach Fishing Charters and much more

powered by TripAdvisor
We are all about fun and having a good time on our Orange Beach fishing charters. Catching fish is certainly very important to everyone. However, I believe your satisfaction is measured by your enjoyment, your comfort on a nice clean boat and the fish you catch. You will enjoy our new first-class fishing tackle on both boats. We also use  light spinning tackle and bait-casting tackle when appropriate.  You will also see why Gill, our deckhand, is very popular with everyone who fishes on the Getaway. Listen as Gill shares his stories about our local area, fishing, his favorite recipes or just chatting with everyone on the boat whether they are adults or kids. You will appreciate Gill's patience as he assists you and your group with any and all of your needs. We cater to your needs. Your satisfaction is important to us. Come join us on the Getaway or Another Getaway, two of the finest Orange Beach fishing charter boats.



Gulf Shores Fishing

Orange Beach is only an eight minute drive from Gulf Shores. Enjoy Gulf Shores fishing and Orange beach fishing from Alabama's nearest available access to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Once you depart from the dock, you will enjoy the short 15 minute cruise through inshore waters out to the beautiful gulf waters where it all begins. As we cruise, you will often see dolphins, seagulls, pelicans and much more Gulf Coast wildlife. 
 


Gulf Shores Family Fishing

It is very rewarding for me to see families enjoy this wonderful experience. This is a great place for families to spend quality time together without any distractions. All ages are welcome. Four years old seems to be a great beginning age for these youngsters to experience some great fun & fishing. A four hour charter is usually best for the very young ones. However, many do well on the 6 hour trip. The Playstation  & the DVD player are always great options for anyone who may get restless. It must be extremely exciting for these young boys and girls to go back home and share this awesome experience in the beautiful Gulf of Mexico with their friends.  A few hours on one of our boats will provide you with much more than just fishing. We will often see dolphins, sea turtles, pelicans, sea gulls, jellyfish and more. Our polite, experienced deckhand will educate you about our area and the abundant marine life that lives in it.


Our Boats, Getaway and AnotherGetaway,  are both first class Hatteras Yachts. Both boats are fully air conditioned with nice clean carpet, clean odor-free bathrooms, showers, flat-screen TV's, DVD players, stereo systems inside cabin and on back deck and XM Satellite Radios. They are both nice and clean for your family comfort. The interior of both boats are comfortable with plenty of seating area. Relax and enjoy while cooling off from the hot fishing action. The kids will probably be busy enjoying the outdoors but our well equipped cabin is a great option. They never get bored.


Both boats are also equipped with the latest safety equipment, including epirb, two VHF radios, 48 mile radars, Garmin GPS with satellite weather including Nexrad weather, Fireboy automatic fire extinquisher system along with the other normal requirements. Both boats exceed US Coast Guard requirements.

The differences between the GETAWAY and ANOTHER GETAWAY are as follows. The Getaway is a 36' Custom Hatteras which is clean and comfortable.The Getaway specializes in our 4 and 6 hour fishing charters. She remains a favorite choice for many families and groups looking for fun and fishing in Orange Beach / Gulf Shores, Alabama. See pics of the Getaway below.






Another Getaway is a 46' Hatteras Sportfishing Yacht. She provides real yacht comfort. She is more than a fishing charter boat. She offers extra space, extra comfort, a viewing deck from the bridge with comfortable seating for up to 6 passengers.  Another Getaway sleeps up to 6 passengers plus crew, provides two bat
hrooms, shower, microwave, stove top, freezer, refrigerator and comfortable seating with table in the large salon.  Another Getaway provides our full day charters, overnight charters and our half day charters. Another Getaway is for those who want and expect just a little more. See pics of Another Getaway below.

The fish we specialize in include a wide variety. We practice conservation, so please let us know if you want to keep any or all of your fish. We offer catch and release  fishing or bottomfishing for tasty fish to take home. The choice is always yours. Bottomfishing includes fishing for red snapper, vermillion snapper, triggerfish, white snapper, lane snapper, gag grouper, red grouper, scamp grouper and much more. Nearshore fishing is available for king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, bonita, jack crevalle, bull redfish and more.  Offshore fishing is available for wahoo, mahi mahi(dolphin), and always a chance to hook into a tuna or marlin. Overnight charters can produce blackfin tuna, yellowfin tuna and a chance at a swordfish.  There is always a chance to hook into a marlin.


Your fresh catch can be prepared by Wolf Bay Lodge at the marina just a few steps from our  boat. Be sure to tell Gill or Howie, our deckhands, if you plan to take your fish to one of the restaurants  so he can properly prepare  the fish. Gill, a former chef, will also share some of his great recipes for you to take home.  

Our deckhands, Gill and Howie are first class. You will find these gentlemen to be very polite, courteous and professional at all times. You will appreciate their patience as they assist and guide you through your fishing experience. They both love kids. Gill has three boys of his own and knows what it means for these young boys and girls to catch their first fish or to just have a fun & positive experience. Gill has over 20 years of experience as a deckhand on party boats, multipassenger boats and six-passenger boats. Howie has been fishing the area for several years and has experience on big boats and small boats. Gill and Howie enjoys the one-on-one contact and the assistance they can offer with each person on our 6 passenger boats. Whether you are a first time angler or one who has many years of fishing experience, Gill and Howie will offer their patience, friendliness, assistance and fishing knowledge to make your own Orange Beach fishing charter the best it can be.
