Kent Driggers•
Texas, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedAwesome Day for Red Snapper!!
6 Hour – Trolling/Bottom Summer on June 3, 2026 • 8 adults • 2 childrenWe loved the whole experience! Everything was perfect! We caught tons of red snapper including smaller ones and the bigger ones! Trey the crew hand did an amazing job keeping our poles full of bait to getting the fish off and getting the poles back in the water to keep catching more! The captain knew exactly where the fish were!! We were so blessed with such a great trip and some delicious Red Snapper for supper and some in the freezer for another meal!
Hunter BoyerRepeat angler•Tennessee, US•Member since 20252 trips4.7VerifiedTrey was awesome!
6 Hour – Trolling/Bottom Summer on July 10, 2026 • 7 adultsTrey was the deckhand and ive done about 5-6 other charters now and hes by far the best out of anyone ive met in this industry! He doesnt treat it like a job he enjoys us catching fish just as much as we enjoy it if not more. Could not ask for a better experience with Trey hes super knowledgeable and a great guy overall. If your in doubt of what charter to go with take the riptide and ask for Trey specifically and you wont be disappointed.
Eric Frazier•Michigan, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedRough Waters didn't stop us
6 Hour – Trolling/Bottom Summer on March 31, 2026 • 9 adults • 1 child9 of us went out to catch some fish. the water was rough but Captain Seth got us out to where we needed to be. Gage wa a busy man because we were all catching fish that day. We had so much fish we ended up giving two gallon ziplock bags filled to Gage and we still took home 4 bags . Great experience would do it again.

6 Hour – Trolling/Bottom Summer on March 9, 2026 • 7 adults • 2 childrenWe had a blast on the trip. Gauge, the deck hand, was nothing but amazing. Captain Seth was also very nice. Boat was clean and spacious. We also caught a lot of fish!
Tony ButteryRepeat angler•Alabama, US•Member since 20182 trips4.3VerifiedRiptide trip was mixed
6 Hour – Trolling/Bottom Summer on November 28, 2025 • 7 adultsCaptain Seth was great. 1st mate was awesome. Boat was very nice. Crew worked hard to put us on some fish we could keep but the weather was terrible. High winds. cold temps. day after a cold front. Snapper season was closed. not a good choice by us not the crew’s fault. would definitely use riptide again and recommend for others just not this time of year.

We have fished with Captain Seth Wilson on the Riptide in Orange Beach for several years. He always puts us on fish and we always have a great trip. Our focus on this trip was red snapper. Catain Seth did not disappoint us! The deckhand, Trey, is also first class. We had 9 people fishing, so we kept him busy with providing bait and landing fish. He was very patient and proficient. If you are looking for a charter in Orange Beach I highly recommend Captain Seth and his first mate Trey on the Riptide.
Thank you!

Thank you for the review? but why did you give Trey a 4.0 on crew and then say he did a great job? Thank you
The trip was awesome! Captain Seth was great and our deck hand Trey was phenomenal. He did an amazing job! He was great with all the kids and very knowledgeable about the fish. Fishing started off slow but Trey switched up tackle and Captain Seth got us on the fish and we all caught multiple Mackerel. We loved it!
Thank You Hope to see yall again!
