Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Wahoo, Lane Snapper, Scamp Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Gray Triggerfish, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), and more inhabit these waters if you come at the right time of year.               
Depending on the type of fishing trip you are interested in taking for the day or even the weekend, we offer bottom fishing or trolling or both, just let us know, so we can create a custom trip that fits your needs.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! You can't go wrong with your favourite snacks and drinks so that nobody gets thirsty, or grumpy on an empty belly.

Trips are ran with the help of a Deckhand. It's customary to tip the Deckhand approximately 20%. They work hard for you during your trip. Their day usually starts an hour or so before you show up for your adventure, and they are usually still working well after you've gone back to enjoying the fresh fish you've caught earlier in the day.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, feel free to ask the captain.

You can't go wrong with bringing sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Great Trip!
6 Hour – Family Fun Trip - 2:00 PM on August 22, 20266 adults

Our family had a great time on a 6-hour trip. Capt. Seth is highly experienced / knowledgeable about all aspects of finding and catching fish. He put us on some fantastic Red Snapper right away. When we hit the limit on Snapper, we started trolling and caught a bunch of Mackrell. My boys absolutely loved it. The boat is very comfortable as well. The air-conditioned cabin was a nice respite from the late August sun. The cabin has comfortable seating as well as a restroom. Our deck hand (Paul) kept us baited up and in business with no down time and when we got back to the Marina, he fileted the catch and handed us a bunch of zip-lock bags with fresh fish fillets. Highly recommended.

The Captain Delivered
8 Hour – Bottom Fishing Trip on July 10, 20266 adults

I have been on several fishing charters and this one, by far, was the best quality fishing experience that I have been on. The Captain put on on fish and ended up catching the 2nd biggest Red Snapper of my group. My friend eneded up with the biggest Red napper that I have ever seen. The Captain and deck hand were very personable and it seemed like we had known each other all of our lives. The boat was clean and had AC so we stayed cool in-between stops. I would really recommend this charter. I take a fishing trip ever year and if I go back to Gulf Shores, I’m definitely booking with this Captain again.

A trip of a lifetime!!!!
4 Hr 'Let's Just Go Fishing' Trip on July 8, 20265 adults

Our fishing trip aboard the Nauti-Nurse with Captain Seth and Spencer was absolutely incredible! From the moment we left the dock, they made us feel welcome and took excellent care of our entire group. We caught over 100 pounds of fish, including an amazing 30-pound snapper—a catch we’ll be talking about for years! Captain Seth and Spencer were patient, kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. They were always willing to help, answer questions, and made sure everyone had a great time. One thing that meant a lot to us was how well they looked after my grandparents. They made sure they were comfortable throughout the trip, which really showed how much they care about their guests. The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and full of great energy. This was more than just a fishing trip—it was an unforgettable experience and the perfect way to celebrate my grandmother’s and my birthday. We’re already planning our next trip with Captain Seth and Spencer on the Nauti-Nurse. If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water with an outstanding captain and crew, I can’t recommend them enough. This is a trip I’ll remember forever!

Awesome trip with my wife
8 Hour – Bottom Fishing Trip on April 23, 20262 adults

what a great time! Seth asked us what we wanted out if this trip before we left the dock and gave us options for the day. It turned out great with many fish to bring home and a bunch we threw back. Seth and John were both helpful with ideas to keep us in the ideal fish depth and would move to another spot if the action slowed. I don't know how many fish we caught total but it was allot! We all kept busy to whole trip. I would highly recomend this trip for anyone. Bonus, large air conditioned cabin to get out of the heat if needed!

We look forward to fishing with you in the future and if we can do anything in the meantime, just give us a shout! Cptn Seth

Great trip with my dad and boys
6 Hour – Family Fun Trip on August 26, 20264 adults

Captain Seth and Paul are good guys.Seth asked us what we wanted to do as soon as we got on the boat. My answer, just catch a bunch of fish. We really didn’t care what we targeted but just wanted to have fun! We did just that, limit of snappers and lots of trigger fish. Caught a few others as well. Had a great time.

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

So I started fishing the gulf waters when I was just a child! We didn't have alot of money growing up but when we would go to the beach as a child my mom would always give me the option to either get a burger or bait! Needless to say I always chose to get the bait! That led me to start working on charter fishing boats in Pensacola Fl. then onto private boats for a few years. I stepped away from charter fishing for a few years and ran parasail boats but my love for fishing never stopped! I still fished every time I had the opportunity too. I found my way back to fishing full time almost 10 years ago and have never regretted or looked back! Currently I've been the captain of fishing charters that have set 4 Alabama state records and 1 world record! Although they may not be of the most common kind of fish, that are caught day in and day out, a record is still a record and I'm sure proud to have given someone who doesn't fish for a living the opportunity to put their name in the record books!
