Riptide Fishing Charters, based in Orange Beach, Alabama, offers exceptional fishing experiences under the expert guidance of Captain Seth Wilson, a passionate and knowledgeable fisherman with an intimate understanding of the local waters. Whether you're a novice angler or a seasoned pro, Captain Wilson ensures your fishing needs are met.

Join us for a day of inshore and offshore fishing in the scenic Orange Beach and Gulf of Mexico waters. Explore nearshore areas to catch King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Wahoo, and Tuna. Venture deeper, down to depths of up to 500 feet, to target Snapper and Amberjack on the rocky seabed. Cast your line in the Gulf to reel in Red Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, and other exciting catches. If it swims and can be hooked, our crew has the expertise to land it. It's that straightforward!

Step aboard the 'Rip Tide,' a custom 45-foot Resmondo vessel powered by twin 400 HP Detroit Diesel engines. It will efficiently transport you to the most productive fishing grounds in the area. The Rip Tide offers ample fishing space, comfortably accommodating up to 18 anglers. Equipped with advanced navigation and fish-finding technology, including a Furuno GPS, fish finder, VHF radio, and radar, the Rip Tide ensures a successful expedition. It features a flybridge for underwater observation, an air-conditioned cabin for comfort, and even a fighting chair for those seeking a challenge. Additionally, there's a restroom for maximum convenience and a wide array of professional tools and accessories.

For those interested in offshore fishing on a smaller scale, our 38-foot Michael Fitts boat is ideal. It comes equipped with all the necessary navigational equipment and a comprehensive selection of first aid and safety gear. Renowned for its smooth and stable ride, this sport fishing boat is an excellent choice for half-day and 3/4-day fishing excursions. Come aboard and embark on your fishing adventure!

If you have a specific fishing method in mind, please let your captain know, and they will ensure you have the required licenses, bait, tackle, and ice. You're also welcome to bring your preferred rod and reel.

Please note that the cost of the trip does not cover fish cleaning services or gratuity for the deckhand. Both the 'Rip Tide' and 'Rip Current' are conveniently located at Zekes Marina and are ready to take you on your Orange Beach Fishing Trip!

We had a great time and had no problem catching our limit on fish. Lots of vermillion snapper and trigger fish with a few other species thrown in. Captain Seth is very laid back and friendly. Deck hand Fisher was great and on top of everything and explained everything we needed to know. They both obviously know what they are doing. Equipment and boat are clean and in good condition. Family friendly. Definitely recommend. Thanks for a fun 8 hour trip!

June 16, 2025

AWESOME EXPERIENCE! Thank you to Captain Seth for putting us on the fish! Took the 6 hour morning trip and we caught our Snapper limit early on and had a blast. Deckhand Fisher was fun and hardworking. Can't wait to do it again! Thank you for a great day of fishing on the RipTide!

Best Charter in Orange Beach!

June 16, 2025

Our family, consisting of 5 adults and 3 kids aged 6-10, had an incredible fishing experience. The captain impressed us with his fishing skills, but the real highlight was meeting Parker, an exceptionally knowledgeable young boy. We were lucky to catch a Mahi thanks to their expertise. We're definitely planning to book another trip in the future, and we're grateful for the wonderful memories created on this adventure!

June 16, 2025

Although I can't recall their names, I want to express my gratitude to the captain and deckhand. They made our trip truly memorable and were incredibly accommodating to my wife, my 10-year-old daughter, and me. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a fun experience. A big thank you to the crew!

June 16, 2025

Our trip with Captain Jerry and the crew was fantastic! They arrived early and made us feel comfortable. Their expertise had us catching fish almost right away, and Parker did a great job on deck. I highly recommend the Rip Current and will definitely book with them again. Thanks to the entire team!
