Chris was amazing. Our family had an incredible time and everyone caught fish, which was fantastic. We shared the water with other boats, and I could have listened to the captains chatting all day.
Thanks for joining us, Amy! We're thrilled that everyone enjoyed themselves and came away with a great catch.
Chris proved to be an outstanding guide. The whole experience was enjoyable, and we reeled in some nice fish.
Spending the day with Chris was a pleasure. He is approachable, highly knowledgeable with decades of experience, and equipped with excellent gear. I look forward to booking another trip with him soon.
Appreciate the kind words, Jon! We can't wait to welcome you back onboard!

Experience thrilling nearshore shark fishing charters just within 3 miles of the scenic beaches of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Our charters offer an exciting chance to catch some of the ocean's fiercest predators, including Bull Sharks, Tiger Sharks, Finetooth, Hammerhead, Sharpnose, and more.
Designed for anglers aged 10 and up, these trips are ideal for individuals weighing under 300 pounds and groups of four or fewer. Available year-round, our private shark fishing charters offer flexible trip durations of three or four hours, with pricing options to accommodate a variety of budgets.
During nearshore shark fishing charters, we typically employ techniques such as drifting live and dead baits, using bottom rigs beneath chum, and fishing drift lines. While many shark species are protected and cannot be legally harvested, certain species may be kept for consumption. We prioritize the importance of sharks within the local ecosystem and oppose killing sharks solely for fins, jaws, or photos of deceased catches. Instead, we focus on harvesting only legal species for eating, safely capturing photos and videos of others, and releasing them back into the wild with care and respect.
