Looking to explore the world-famous fishery of Orange Beach, AL with a host of angling buddies? Or maybe you want to take the whole family on a vacation they won't forget? Then come aboard Cool Change Charters and get ready to cruise these plentiful waters onboard a USCG-licensed vessel that can accommodate up to 20 adventurers!

Your Captain specializes in offering top-quality private charters for small and large groups. He's been in the charter service many years, so it's fair to say that he has plenty of experience when it comes to offering world-class angling adventures! Whether you're a budding fisherman looking to troll nearshore waters or a seasoned angler who wants to spend a whole day offshore, Cool Change Charters does offer something for everyone.

You'll be fishing aboard a top-of-the-line 44ft Henriques offshore sport fishing vessel. She can accommodate up to 20 guests and is fully licensed for all of them. Your comfort and safety is Capt. Joe's top priority – onboard, you'll find all of the necessary navigational equipment to get you to the hotspots, as well as life jackets, a full toilet, and air-conditioning. There are also outriggers to maximize your trolling potential!

As for the species you'll be targeting? It all depends on whether you opt to explore nearshore waters, or want to head further out on an offshore extravaganza! You'll have the option to troll for King and Spanish Mackerel, bottom fish for a variety of Grouper, Snapper, and Amberjack, and even come face-to-gills with the hard-fighting Mahi Mahi. Your captain and crew will be on hand to help you try out and refine different techniques.

Your captain takes plenty of care to ensure your trip will be both safe and successful. He'll also provide you with top-quality rods and reels, as well as tackle and live bait – everything you need for a successful day out on the water. Come aboard Cool Change Charters and get ready to reel 'em in

Great trip!
5 Hour Combo Trip - 7:00 AM on March 24, 20265 adults2 children
We had an amazing time on this fishing charter! We brought 2 adults and 6 kids, and it could not have been a better experience for our family. The boat had a nice inside/covered area which was perfect for the kids to take breaks and stay out of the sun when needed. The crew was incredibly patient, helpful, and made sure every kid had a chance to catch fish and have fun. They were great with families and made the whole trip easy and enjoyable. We made great memories and would highly recommend this charter to anyone, especially families with kids. We will definitely be back!

Great 5 hour morning charter. It took a bit over an hour to get to the fishing location. We were trolling for mackerel on the way out with no luck. Once we got to the intended location we were catching fish immediately. We kept 50 and let go several others!

Caught the Gulf at a bad time of year, but the Captain and Adam specifically made sure we were well taken care of. They kept us moving to ensure we had something to bring home, and they were a pleasure the whole time. Adam specifically is a great great guy, wouldn’t have been the same without him.
