Our boys, 6 and 8, enjoy fishing in their grandparents’ pond. We wanted to take them on an ocean fishing trip and settled on Black Flag Company for a number of reasons:

- The 3-hour trip that we booked felt like a reasonable time for a “first time out” fishing in the ocean.
- The boat had a bathroom. (A necessity for our boys)
- We got to keep what we caught.
- It was advertised as a trip that catered to kids and a family experience.

Based on our experience, ALL of this was true. Captain Stephen was very knowledgeable and helped set expectations for what we would experience heading into a trolling trip in the middle of October. He told us of the most likely fish we would be catching and helped describe them to our boys. Our deckhand, Adam, was respectful, knowledgeable, and talkative. He put up with all of our questions and had plenty of stories for us. I really appreciated the way he interacted with our boys and how he sat next to our oldest son to answer some of his questions while we were waiting for the fish to bite. He also helped each member of our family reel in our fish. The ONLY low light of the trip was that my wife and one of our sons got seasick for a bit. It passed, but not before both were sick over the side of the boat. If you go out and you aren’t used to being on a boat in deeper water, it would be worth bringing some Dramamine or something for sea sickness.

In the end, we’re glad we went and we had a great fish dinner!

Gilligan’s Island jokes aside, the fishing trip was everything we hoped for! Captain Stephen and First Mate Andrew were awesome, helpful and informative. Being beginners to saltwater fishing ourselves, the crew of the Redemption took great care of our family. We caught some red snapper, Spanish mackerel, and a black snapper. Saw some dolphins near the boat as well, closer than the dolphin tour we took in Orange Beach! I would definitely use Black Flag for any future fishing excursions in the area. Well priced for the time out on the water and overall a fun time.

5 hour trip caught a limit of red snapper and 2 mackerel really Down to earth and professional both owner and deck hand was all buisness. And really focused on our group getting our limit . Captain knows what’s going on it’s not his first time almost everytime he said okay guys drop a hook here . We was dropping it in the fishes mouth. Had 3 kids on the trip crew done good with kids . I suggest this company 100% if I come back I’m definitely calling them

We booked a 5 hour AM trip for trolling and bottom fishing. Everything was excellent. On the troll out we had a fish on within the first 5 minutes. We stopped at several spots for bottom fishing and caught more fish than I ever expected. We limited out in no time. Captain Crew’s crew was very knowledgeable and taught us some great tips and tricks. It was an all around awesome trip and will definitely be booking again with him when we go back !

Captain Stephen and Andrew were excellent! Six of us went out for six hours of fishing. Prior to the trip Stephen answered every question we had promptly, they were at the pier at 0545 time agreed upon, assisted us during the trip, and brought back on time. At the conclusion of the trip, Andrew filleted and bagged the fish. I highly recommended Stephen and Andrew! Thanks again for a great day on the water and I wish you nothing, but the best!
