Captain Curtis comes from a long line of USCG licensed charter boat captains, representing the 4th generation in his family. Raised fishing the waters spanning Alabama to Florida, from Dauphin Island all the way to Pensacola, he has been running charters for over ten years. Leading this vessel is Captain Christopher, affectionately known as Capt Bebo, who is entering his fourth season at the helm for Curtis. He and his crew are friendly, attentive, and dedicated to making sure your excursion is enjoyable, successful, and truly memorable.
We had an incredible time with this team! They are genuinely some of the nicest people you’ll meet. Perfect for guys’ trips or family outings. Definitely a five-star experience!
Thank you all for joining us — we thoroughly enjoyed having you on board and hope you’re savoring all the fish you caught. My family booked this adventure with little prior experience, but from the first call to Curtis through the entire journey — including having our catch cleaned and filleted — everything exceeded our expectations. Curtis and his crew provided outstanding service, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book a trip again on the Max Drag with them!

Join Captain Christopher (Captain Bebo) and Captain John for an exhilarating day of bottom fishing and trolling out of Orange Beach, Alabama! Whether you prefer a half-day 5-hour trip or a full-day 8-hour adventure, these excursions offer the perfect opportunity to explore the Gulf’s abundant and productive waters.
Venture offshore where you'll alternate between bottom fishing and trolling, ensuring a dynamic and exciting fishing experience. Depending on the season and conditions, you can target a diverse array of species such as Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Gag Grouper, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Bonita, Great Barracuda, Bull Shark, and when in season, the challenging Amberjack. Each drop or troll could reveal a new catch—whether it’s snapper lurking in deep waters or fast-moving mackerel chasing bait at the surface.
The shorter 5-hour trips provide an excellent introduction to both trolling and bottom fishing techniques. For those seeking more adventure, the extended 8-hour trips offer the chance to venture farther offshore and fish at depths up to 120 feet, where even larger fish await. This experience promises variety, excitement, and unforgettable memories with every catch.
You’ll fish aboard a roomy and comfortable boat equipped with family-friendly amenities, including air conditioning, an electric toilet, a flybridge, live bait well, kitchen, refrigerator, outriggers, and top-of-the-line GPS, Fishfinder, Sonar, and Radar systems to help locate the best fishing spots.
All necessary bait, tackle, rods, reels, and fishing licenses are provided—you just need to bring your favorite refreshments and plenty of enthusiasm! Please remember that a 20% gratuity for the dedicated crew is customary and sincerely appreciated.
Whether you’re a novice or an experienced offshore angler, Captain Bebo and Captain John are eager to guide you through an unforgettable fishing adventure on the beautiful waters off Orange Beach!
