Gulf Shore Local, Captain Shawn is the real deal! He loves what he does and it shows.
Captain Shawn has a 100 Ton Captain's license. Prior to becoming a charter boat captain, he commercial fished, in the waters you'll be fishing. With many friends still in the commercial industry, he always knows where to find the fish!
He takes care in accommodating his guests, especially our veterans, elderly and children. He listens to what his anglers want.
You'll love meeting at Safe Harbor Seafood, a real operational fish house! Where the nearby waters are rich with multiple species of fish, so you don't have to go far, to get your lines in the water and start reeling them in!
Want to catch a shark? Talk to the captain, he's a master!
*RV parking available, just ask for info.

Got to take my wife, 12yo daught and 7yo son out with Capt Shawn. We had a great time. he was great with my kids. Fishing was a struggle but he managed to get us on about a 30lb drum, 25 in redfish and several bull sharks and gafftop catfish. If we ever make it down this way again we will definitely be hitting him up, and you should too!
Captain Shawn did an amazing job in getting us to the right spots to catch fish. We also caught a stingray and a crab in the process. We took the 6:30 a.m. trip and the weather was very nice. We caught 11 gafftopsail catfish. Captain Shawn has over 35 years of experience and he definitely proved it!
We had a great time on our charter with Captain Shawn from Bama Bandit Sport Fishing. We opted for the inshore charter with our 13 and 9 year old joining us, so Captain Shawn took us to his spots along the channel. We had a lot of bites and were able to bring in enough fish to cook up a meal for four that night. Shawn was great with the boys, showing them how to cast and giving them feedback during and following a catch (or “one that got away”) so they could learn something and move forward with some better techniques. We also managed to catch a few catfish for good measure. All in all, we had a great family outing and Shawn was a good fit for us as our captain.
We had a blast!! We were catching them left and right! We even caught a baby shark that we of course released! Our guide was knowledgeable and a good guy.. he really placed an emphasis on cleanliness and organization, which I could highly understand. He had a great boat and some great gear and all we did was catch fish! He took pictures, shared stories, and even took the time to actually teach our youngest member proper techniques and I really had a ton of respect for him for that! Would definitely do it again, especially in another season of the year where we could potentially catch a few other species! Great experience.
We can't say enough good things about our fishing experience with Captain Shawn. We spent a week in Gulf Shores/Ft.Morgan, and paid for other chartered fishing trips, but none of them compared to this experience. When we come back to GS again, without one ounce of hesitation, will book a trip with this guy. He took my 3 boys and husband out for the two hour trip. They came back with a load of fish! The boys and my husband said it was the best two hours of the whole entire weeks vacation. If you want an easy going and laid back time, and someone who knows exactly what they are doing, book with the Bama Bandit. You will not regret it.
