Gulf Island Charters, Orange Beach

Our family of 5 did the 3 Hour Family/Kids Inshore Fishing charter. The booking process was seamless using the tool on the website. Reminders were sent to my email with all of the information needed to prepare for our trip. You will board the boat at Bear Point Harbor. This is a pretty cool area with lots of different charters and excursions taking off from the docks. I would recommend arriving a few minutes early to take it all in. The charter itself was pretty good. We set out and found a few fishing spots where we wet our line for 15-ish minutes. After a period of inactivity, we would try somewhere new. If your primary goal is to catch fish, this would be a 1-star adventure. 4 of us fished and we only had 1 fish in the boat. That was kind of a bummer. We also caught a stingray (that was cut off the line) and a crab that we just didn't get in the boat. For us, the adults both caught something and our kids got skunked. For us, this was more than JUST the fishing though. It was nice to spend the day on the water and see some places that we hadn't already experienced. We had a few light rain showers, but those didn't detract as they kept us cool during the trip. I give the charter itself 3 stars and added another because we had a good time chatting with the Captain.

My family of 4 (kids 16 & 18) had an awesome time on the SWIM, CHILL AND GRILL EXCURSION. Visited a beautiful uninhabited island, went swimming, grilled on the boat and went tubing. Everyone had a great time, and we highly recommend Gulf Island Charters. The private cruise was exactly what our family wanted, it was a great excursion.
