Clearwater Charters is all about fishing the stunning waters of Dauphin Island. With Captain Christopher at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Amberjack, Bonito, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Scamp Grouper, Snowy Grouper, African Pompano Jack, Almaco Jack, King Mackerel, Bull Shark, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, and whatever else is biting. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle, or deep drop with electric reels.
Kids are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
Your vessel for the day is a 35' Contender center console with space for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
Don't forget to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Captain and Grant were on point. A group of 5 that have never been offshore fishing and the trip was great. We caught a snapper limit quickly and went hunting for different species. I'm from Texas and if I ever come back to Dauphin Island I'm fishing with these fellars
Thanks so much for choosing Clearwater Charters! We are so glad you all had a great time and hope to see back down at the island again soon!
Capt and Crew were outstanding! Put us on fish all day and were very knowledgeable.
Thank you for choosing us! We are so happy you guys had a blast, we did as well!
We had a great fishing trip! Very personable, knowledgeable crew that put us on fish quick. Caught our limit in less than an hour. Looking forward to next season with Capt. Mac!
Captain Chris along with crew provided a great fishing day on the water! We caught tons of fish and really enjoyed day. Super nice and well equipped boat and gear. A+.
Had a great time with Mac. He is knowledgeable of the area and a great boat handler. The seas were a bit rough, yet he still managed to give us a great day and a nice load of red snapper.
