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.

Blue Water Charters provides a premier fishing experience for all its guests!

Half day with Captain James

What a great day on the water! The boat and equipment, the captain and first mate Brandon, and the fishing was first rate. They are extremely knowledgeable and select the best locations for a variety of fish - I lost count of how many we pulled into the boat. One of the best days ever and recommend Blue Water Charters to anyone looking for a great fishing trip.

Awesome Inshore Fishing with Blue Water Charters

If you are looking for a charter fishing experience with great customer service, you have found it with Blue Water Charters. Captain James was extremely knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and friendly. He made sure we got the most out of our trip and gave just the right amount of assistance based on our various levels of experience. I could not ask for more from a captain and guide. Erica was also amazingly helpful and quick to respond to any questions. Blue Water Charters deserves 5 stars!!

6 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM)

Great couple of guys

VERIFIED

So we had a 4 person group and two were first timers and captain James put us on them fast first drop got the first fish. We got our limit in red snapper and then went exploring for big big fish. We had two that just kicked our butts. Blue Water Charters knows there stuff and take care of you on the water. If the fish aren’t on a spot they have plenty others places. I can’t say how awesome they are it was a fantastic trip. I will be booking with them again.
