Rip Current
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.

we took a trip with 3 adults, 2 teens, and 3 younger children. Everyone on the boat had fun and caught fish. The crew was great with getting everything ready and keeping our lines in the water. A fun day was had by all.
The captain and mate (Ralph) were consumate professionals. I would recommend them to anyone. They were extremely knowledgeable and were constantly thoughtful of their clients.
Thats awesome, hope to see you again soon!
We 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!!

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!!
