Rip Current
Riptide Current Charters is your key to the finest angling in and around Orange Beach, Alabama. The company is operated by an aggressive fisherman who knows the local waters like the back of his hand. Whether you are an amateur or a seasoned pro, Captain Gage Hudson will take care of you.
The other half to Riptide Charters, this boat is a 40' Michael Fitts that's great for offshore fishing. Equipped with all the appropriate navigational gear and the full complement of first aid and safety equipment, this sportfishing boat is a great base for a half and 3/4 day fishing trips. Praised for its excellent ride, the boat will offer a smooth and stable trip out to your fishing destination.
Come and enjoy a day of fishing in the sun on the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Troll the nearshore waters for King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Wahoo, and Tuna. Head to the rock bottom up to 500ft for Snapper and Amberjack. Check the bite in the Gulf for Red Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, and who knows what else? If it swims and can bite a hook, the crew will catch it. It's as simple as that!
If you have a fishing technique you would like to try, just let your captain know. You will be provided with licenses, bait, tackle, and ice. If you have favorite rod and reel, feel free to bring it.
The fish cleaning service and a tip for the deckhand are not included in the price
The Rip Current is docked at Zekes Marina.

Tommy GreeneRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewawsome
10 Hour Trip – Deep Sea Fishing on October 24, 2026 • 8 adultsthe water was rough but the captain put us on a load of fish we probably hooked up on over 100 fish!!!!! the deck was the best in the business. He was dead on the fish when you hooked up and he would get them in every time.  I recommend this Charter to anyone. 
Thomas Chadwick5.0VerifiedCrew did a great job for me and my grandsons

Steven Lyons5.0VerifiedWhat a great time
8 Hour – Bottom/Trolling Summer on August 4, 2025 • 8 adultsI brought my parents and my six children with three of their significant others. We had a great time. The captain mitch and first mate, wade were top notch. What a phenomenal time we had. They were great with the whole crowd and worked hard to keep us on fish and move quickly when conditions changed. Wade handled our mistakes gracefully and was very positive to keep us moving in the right direction. We caught our limit of red snapper and were on fish the whole time we were out! Highly recommend!!
Slade Williams5.0VerifiedGreat Crew, Nice Boat, and caught Fish!
6 Hour – Summer Troll/Bottom (AM) on July 3, 2025 • 7 adults • 3 childrenWe really enjoyed our trip with Rip Current. Those folks are good people that made our experience one to remember. They put us on fish at multiple locations and we quickly got our limit of Red Snapper, and then we caught a few other things including a Bull Shark. We had young kids on the boat and they accommodated them with patience and excitement. We plan to book again next year!
Jonathan Hopper5.0VerifiedExcellent Fall Break Trip
4 Hour (AM) – Deep Sea/Trolling on October 8, 2025 • 9 adults • 4 childrenWe had an awesome time with our family on this trip. We went for a 4 hour troll with several small children. The captain and deckhand were just great people in general to be around and could be a lot of fun with any crew, children or not. They put us on fish even though we were in between weather patterns. We plan to go back. Great trip!!

6 Hour – Summmer Troll/Bottom (PM) on June 24, 2024 • 7 adults • 6 childrenA great extra experience on our Gulf Shores trip! I have 6 kids, it was their first ever deep-sea fishing trip and they haven't stopped talking about it since! The crew was great with them. Helped us with baiting and learning the techniques, hitting the right spots and much more! We caught our limit. We will do this again next trip!!!
