Captain Donald's lifelong passion for fishing and extensive knowledge of the area guarantee an action-packed catch-and-release fishing experience in Orange Beach, Alabama.
While Captain Donald is well-versed in catering to anglers of all ages, he specializes in creating magical moments for young fishing enthusiasts.

Your fishing adventure starts aboard a 26’ Sea Fox center console powered by twin 150 HP Evinrude engines.

Equipped with a comprehensive range of Simrad and Furuno navigation electronics, the boat ensures you stay on course throughout your journey.

In the event that you're on one of Captain Donald's boats without a restroom, rest assured that the nearest facilities onshore are a mere 5-minute trip away.
Captain Donald provides all the essential fishing gear and tackles you'll need for a successful fishing excursion. While bottled water is readily available on board, you're more than welcome to bring your preferred beverages and snacks to enjoy during the trip.

Ratings & Reviews Summary

I highly recommend the Gulf Charter Family Fishing experience for anyone seeking a fantastic fishing trip with kids or even adults looking for a relaxed and enjoyable outing. Captain Roy was exceptional to work with, especially when we had to reschedule due to bad weather and when another storm approached during our trip. He prioritized safety while ensuring we didn't miss out on the fun. Captain Roy not only listened to the kids' stories but also provided valuable assistance with fishing, resulting in everyone successfully catching fish. What made the trip even more memorable was when Captain Roy took us to see an intriguing landmark. Additionally, he noticed our interest in dolphins and spontaneously treated us to a captivating dolphin cruise, allowing us to witness a playful pod up close. We brought our own sunscreen and life jackets, although they offer both kids' and adults' jackets. I recommend using sunscreen lotion instead of spray while on the boat. The boat also features a small bathroom, convenient for the kids. Before embarking, we purchased drinks on the dock, and the boat had an ice chest to keep our water chilled. This family adventure had everything we needed, and the communication during the planning process was effortless. We look forward to returning for another fantastic experience!

We had a delightful 3-hour kids fishing trip on a foggy morning. During our journey to the first fishing spot, we had the exciting opportunity to spot some dolphins inshore, which we paused to let the kids enjoy. Captain Roy then expertly set up the kids' fishing rods and helped with casting, allowing the adults to participate as well. It didn't take long before the kids were reeling in some decent-sized sail cats. We changed fishing spots once and continued to have success in catching fish. Overall, everyone had a great time, and the 3-hour duration of the trip was just perfect for the kids, making it an ideal length for them.

This was a fantastic family outing! We typically engage in significant activities when visiting the beach, and this time, we decided on a fishing adventure. Deep-sea fishing can be costly and time-consuming, but this three-hour trip turned out to be the perfect choice for us. We enjoyed three hours of fishing, moving from one fishing spot to another, and simply being out on the water. It was an ideal experience for our family, and we had a fantastic time. We highly recommend this trip and give it a five-star rating all the way!

This was our inaugural saltwater fishing adventure, and it was a memorable one. My grandchildren and daughter successfully reeled in at least five fish and had exciting battles with a few more, even though some got away. While we ventured into the Gulf, we didn't manage to catch any fish there. However, we had the opportunity to observe jellyfish, stingrays, and a couple of playful dolphins. This experience left us with wonderful memories, and we definitely hope to embark on a similar adventure again someday.
