My wife and I took our two grandkids (ages 10 and 9) on a 6 hour fishing trip on the Riptide with Captain Seth and First Mate Drew. What an outstanding day! We are novice fishermen and they made it incredibly fun catching lots of fish and enjoying the Gulf of Mexico. Both gentlemen were really great with the kids and Drew made everything easy for them. We can’t wait until we can do it again next summer. While we have chartered fishing trips before, this was by far the best fishing experience we have ever had.

Our captain was a true hunter. If they weren’t biting he wouldn’t waste his time and move to another spot. When we were catching fish they were good sized but they were all about the same size so off we go to another spot. The fish are getting bigger. Maybe we want to stay here? Nope let’s see if we can find something bigger. When I asked how big the fish were going to be the deck hand said “How big of one do you think you can handle”. Ok we pull up to the next spot. The first hit was within seconds. Both my friend and me have something that’s trying to pull us out of the boat. My roommate wrestles with one of these big fish for about 15 minutes and everyone is watching. She’s gets it almost up to the boat and the line breaks. I had the same thing happen. The next fish on is the one in the picture. I fought it for about 15 minutes as well. I got it up to the boat and the deckhand said we couldn’t keep it. We reached our limit. We caught so many fish we lost count. The challenge of bringing up one these is a thrill I can’t explain. It’s kind of funny. I picked the boat because they said it had 2 air conditioners not knowing what to expect. This is the best fishing trips I’ve taken and I’ve been out on many. When you get off the boat you’ll be happy to tip the Deck Hand!

I booked an eight hour trip. Because we had our limit and one of my kids wasn’t feeling well I asked to cut the trip short. Captain Seth had no problem with it. I told him I wanted to pay for the full 8 hours but he insisted I pay for 6. The 1st mate Drew was outstanding. Really great with the kids. This may be one of the older boats on the dock but it’s well maintained and handles the seas well. When I go back to Orange Beach this is the boat I will charter. They not only know how to fish they know how to treat there costumers.

We had so much fun on our excursion! Captain Seth made sure we found fish and deckhand Drew was always there to make sure we were able to bring the fish in. They were wonderful with my boys to make sure they had an amazing time! Would definitely go again with them again in Orange Beach. Drew cut our fish up perfectly to have cooked at the marina restaurant.

We took five kids under the age of eight.  Unfortunately, the fishing wasn’t great the day we went out but Captain Seth and Drew made the trip a blast for the kids.  Drew was amazing with the kids and they went out of their way to go find fish for the kids to catch.  Great experience and great crew…highly recommend these guys.
