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!
Trey 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.
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
We 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!
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!
9 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.
Thank You! great Picture looking forward to seeing you again!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I grew up fishing out of Orange Beach, with all of my spare time being spent on the docks of Sportsman's Marina catching Flounder, White Trout, and Croaker. My hobby later turned into a career, after I spent time charter fishing with some of the greatest captains in the area. I now own and operate the Riptide, a 45' Resmondo that specializes in big fish and family fun!!
