High Cotton Charters
High Cotton Charters
Come fish on, one of the cleanest,prettiest charter boats in Orange Beach? High Cotton Charters is here to make it happen! You'll be dropping lines from a 55' Gillman offshore sport fisher with a capacity for 14 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There's are 2 toilets on board for your convenience. We also have starlink onboard for those who can't be away from the office too long. There's a charge of 100.00 for 50gb data to starlink.
These waters hold game fish like Cobia, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Almaco Jack, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, and more with any luck. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Capt. Eddie welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if infant -sized life vests are available. Otherwise, you should bring your own. The charter boat covers your fishing license. Just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% on 1/2 day and 25% on full day trip,customary tip for the mate.
Don't forget to bring sunglasses, 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. Snacks are never a bad idea , so nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
After booking your trip with us, I'll be in touch with you the evening before the trip.

Reeling in the fish!!!!
We had a fabulous time!! Captain Eddy was in constant contact with us about the weather beforehand. We ended up changing our time for safety and it’s a good thing we did. He certainly lived up to the reputation of what a captain should be. Safety was definitely one of the most important things. The crew were friendly, knowledgeable and as if they were fortune tellers - everything they said would happen, happened. We caught our limit and then moved onto a different type of fish and caught our limit. We had a blast. The crew would hold up our catch and if it wasn’t big enough the captain would tell them to throw it back. They baited our hooks and did absolutely everything for us. Can’t recommend them enough. We would definitely go with them again!!! My son keeps saying that captain was sharp!!!

High Cotton 6 Hour Trip
We had a late start right off the rip due to a wreck that shut down half of orange beach. The captain was super understanding and actually helped direct half of our party out of the traffic and to the harbor a way that even gps hadn’t mentioned. Before we knew it we were on the water and pulling up snappers! Several of our group had never been offshore fishing including my little cousin in some of the videos. We didn’t have much of a troll bite after we filled our snapper limit but he was able to pull up a mackerel and bonito and loved every bit of it! After seeing everyone’s catches at the harbor it looked as though everyone had a tuff bite as well. The boat was super clean and even though it didn’t get very choppy out there it was a very smooth ride out and in. It had A/C and actual restrooms so if you were to have any kids or maybe some on the elder side this would be perfect for them to keep from getting too hot out there on those warm days! The hand was also very knowledgeable and helpful during the entire trip as well. They also cleaned and bagged our catch for us at the end of the trip! Great people and great boat! I would recommend High Cotton to anyone and everyone and plan to use them again in the future, possibly for a 12hr next time! Thanks again guys! -Hunter

The fish were flying out of the water!
Captain Eddy knew exactly where the fish were! We were dropping and reeling up steady the whole time we were fishing! We had 7 fishing and 1 taking pictures and we were only 12 away from reaching our limit (68/80)! All the kids caught lots of fish and even a big one that ran KB (first mate) to the front of the boat but it snapped the line and got away. We all had so much fun. KB and Gatlin kept running to get the fish off the hooks and rebait them. They were also quick to get us a new pole if something happened! They worked their tails off and laughed with us the whole time. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for a great trip! We will be back for more fun for sure!!

5 Stars – Incredible Afternoon Charter for the Whole Family!
We took a 6-hour afternoon trip (1–7 PM) with High Cotton Fishing Charter—me, my wife, and our 7 kids ranging in age from 5 to 19—and it was absolutely amazing. Every single one of us caught fish, and there were smiles all around the entire time. The boat was roomy and comfortable, with a clean, air-conditioned interior that gave the kids a nice break from the sun when needed. The crew was fantastic—professional, friendly, and great with all ages. They made the experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish, and they clearly knew how to put us on the fish. We made so many great memories on this trip, and we’re already looking forward to going out with High Cotton again next time we’re in town. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a top-tier fishing experience
