Wild Red Charters is located in beautiful Orange Beach, Alabama. Chartering out of the newly built ICW launch. Captain Josh is a USCG licensed captain who has spent the last several years learning every part of the beautiful fishery to be able to put you on fish year round.

You will be fishing out of a 2021 Blazer 24’ bay boat powered by a 300HP Suzuki. This spacious boat provides plenty of room for fishing and cruising the bay.

Fishing licenses for all anglers are provided. Any fish you decide to keep at the end of your trip, Captain Josh will happily clean for you. Tips in the 15-20% range are always appreciated.

We recommend closed toe shoes be worn while on the boat. A separate cooler is provided on the boat for any drinks or snacks you wish to bring (bottled water is provided for your convenience). Also, don’t forget sunscreen. Nothing ruins a fun day out on the water like getting a sunburn.

See you out on the water!
