Orange Beach, AL is known for being one of the best offshore fishing hotspots this side of the Gulf of Mexico. What better way to experience these bountiful waters than with the expert guidance of a captain who has over 16 years of serious deep-sea fishing experience? Come aboard Summer Hunter Offshore Fishing Charters and let Captain Sara Griffin show you just how much this fantastic fishery has to offer!

Capt. Sara was raised in Pensacola, Florida. Hooked on angling at a young age, she started working as a deckhand after High School. This is when she discovered her love for offshore fishing. She loves nothing more than providing customers with a first-class experience.
You’ll be setting sail on your epic offshore adventure in a 39’ Sportsfisher sport fishing boat. Decked out with all of the necessary navigational and safety equipment, as well as a private toilet, she’ll take you to the hottest deep-sea spots around in comfort and style. There’s plenty of room for 6 guests onboard, making her the perfect vessel for families and anglers who like to socialize while they reel in their dream catch.

Whether you want to experience some seriously superb deep-sea fishing, or take your kids on a memorable vacation, Capt. Sara has something for everyone. You can troll for Redfish, King Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, and more, or travel a whopping 40 miles offshore to bottom fish for Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper, and a variety of Grouper. Capt. Sara says it best herself – the magic of these waters is that you never know what might be biting!

You’ll be equipped with top-quality rods and reels, and live bait for longer trips. Fo children under 9 years old, it’s best to bring your own life jackets to ensure maximum comfort. Come aboard Summer Hunter Offshore Fishing Charters and make yourself part of the family!

A 20% gratuity for our deckhand is standard.

Captain Sara Griffin was born and raised in Pensacola, Florida, where her father and grandfather got her hooked on fishing. She started working on charter boats after high school, 'rowing' her way up from cleaning the boat, working as a deckhand, and becoming a first mate. Now, she's the owner and captain of her very own charter. She loves nothing more than helping young, budding anglers catch their first or biggest fish. Capt. Sara feels that being a female charter operator really sets her apart from other captains, and loves the idea that she is opening doors for other keen fisherwomen who might want to do the same thing. Her enthusiasm and passion for her work mean that every customer that steps aboard Summer Hunter is made to feel welcomed and in safe hands. Guests usually leave her charter not only with an impressive catch, but also feeling like they've made a new friend!
