Looking to cast a line in Orange Beach? That’s what TradeWinds is here for!

Fishing around here will often see you targeting a variety of Snapper, Mackerel, as well as Bonito, Gray Triggerfish, Amberjack, Grouper, and more, depending on conditions. You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Feel free to keep any fish you catch, assuming regulations allow it.

If you’re traveling with the family, you’ll be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. A few items you’ll want to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), snacks, and drinks.

Your boat for the day is a 40’ Walkaround that holds up to 18 passengers. It comes with all the essentials, plus a toilet on board for your convenience. The captain will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing!

You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish and make the most of your trip. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10%–20% gratuity is customary and much appreciated. Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Now, come aboard with TradeWinds and get hooked!
