Thomas Haughton
Identity Verified
Captain Thomas Haughton, better known as Captain T, grew up fishing the Gulf Coast both inshore in Mobile Bay and offshore near Dauphin Island before the age of five. Raised in a family of passionate anglers, his father and grandfather instilled in him a lasting respect and love for saltwater fishing. With deep roots in Mobile and as a permanent resident of Dauphin Island since 2006, Captain T has turned his lifelong passion into a career as a professional Alabama fishing guide and charter captain.
Becoming a full-time charter captain was more than a career choice—it was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Every day on the water is a new challenge, and Captain T thrives on sharing his knowledge and experience with clients from across the country. His dedication to fishing and constant learning allows him to provide anglers with the best possible experience on both inshore fishing trips and offshore deep sea charters.
During the offseason, Captain T works as a commercial fisherman aboard various vessels, where he sharpens his skills and expands his knowledge of deep water fishing. This hands-on experience helps him better understand fish behavior, seasonal patterns, and the many species found in the Gulf of Mexico. His favorite personal targets include Tuna and Grouper, but he enjoys nothing more than helping clients reel in their own big catch.
In the summer months, Captain T specializes in Red Snapper fishing charters out of Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. Offering both half-day and full-day trips, he puts anglers right on the fish for an action-packed day on the water. Whether you’re after Red Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, or even Sharks, Captain T knows where to take you for the best opportunities to land trophy catches.
With his federally permitted 31’ AmeraCat catamaran, Captain T’s Fishing & Outdoor Adventures offers safe, comfortable, and family-friendly fishing trips in federal offshore waters. Every charter is fully equipped and customized to fit your group’s needs, ensuring unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re planning a family outing, a corporate trip, or a serious fishing adventure, Captain T’s Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores fishing charters deliver big catches, great memories, and the true Gulf Coast fishing experience.

We booked an inshore trip and a Dolphin cruise with Captain T in July of 2025. We went offshore with Captain T in June 2024.Captain T is a great guy and a great fishing guide. He knows what he’s doing and he will work his butt off to make sure you catch fish or that you have an awesome time on his boat. Anytime our family gets back to Dauphin Island, we will book a trip with Captain T.

We had a great trip! We took our 6yo son for the first time and TJ & Michael were great with him, we caught lots of fish! We'd definitely highly recommend them and will definitely be going again!

We had a great time! Captain T and crew put us in the fish over and over again. They took the time to explain to our novice party what we were about to catch and how to do so. Nice tunes for the ride were a bonus! I highly recommend you look up Captain T for your next adventure.
