Whether you're with a group of friends and want to test your fishing skills or you want to introduce your kids to the joys of angling, Blue Water Charters is the way to go! Operating from Fort Morgan, AL to Pensacola, FL, It marries premier service with this productive fishery to bring you one of the best saltwater experiences in the Gulf of Mexico! Additionally, Captain James was nominated as 2019 Charter Captain of the year!
Captain James Bertrand invites you to join him onboard Reely Miss B'Haven a 24' Sailfish center console. Built in 2019, her design allows for easy movement from aft to fore while chasing the bite, especially useful when hooking up trophy-sized predators. She can accommodate up to 4 people.
The boat is rigged with the latest and greatest electronics that include a Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor with Spotlock, a Lowrance 4G Radar and Lowrance Carbon 12 chart/sonar, Sirius XM Marine Weather, Bluetooth stereo, sat phone, and personal locator beacon, and also padded seating all around to keep you comfortable on the water.
All the required safety equipment is found on board as safety is a priority for all of the guests.
Looking to test the waters and do some light fishing? The inshore 4-hour trip will see you go after the A-listers of inshore fishing: Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, and Flounder. For the best chance to experience the full offer the waters of Alabama have to offer, head out on the 6-hour trip.
You can hook up everything from powerful Cobia and Amberjack to the various delicious Snapper species.
If you want to try something new, you can hit the waters close to the coast under the cover of night; the hundreds of dock lights provide an exciting opportunity to fish without the heat of the sun.

This was the first time for my daughters. They were a bit nervous but Captain James was great helping them out. He walked them through how to work certain tackle, bait their hooks properly and how far down to drop the bait. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and put us on the fish right away. We targeted Snapper throughout the trip and caught several. In the end my girls had a blast and want to do it again.
Thank you guys! See you again soon.
Hada great time with kids and buddy. Captain tooks us to several places catching fish. Will be going back.
Thank you Cynthia! See yall next time at the beach.

Orange Beach, Alabama, United States
Hello, my name is Capt. James Bertrand. I will make sure you, your friends and family have a fun day of fishing and enjoy all the natural beauty of the Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Alabama and Perdido Key and Pensacola, Florida areas. We really do live in paradise and I will share with you all the things I love about OBA. I have been fishing and boating my entire life. I was born in Louisiana, so that means I was born with a fishing license tied to my toes! We offer a variety of fishing trips that are perfectly suited to anglers of all ages and abilities! As for the species on offer, get ready to come face-to-gills with anything from the elusive 'Cobia' to the 'Amberjack' more commonly known as the 'Reef Donkey' when you hook up on one of these bad boys, you will quickly understand the reason behind the nickname. Vermillion, Lane and Mangrove Snapper are also on the A list, as well as Triggerfish, Grouper and of course the famous Red Snapper that this area has become well known for!
