Fins and Family Fishing
Fins and Family Fishing
Make some memories in Orange Beach and go out with Fins and Family Fishing! We have a variety of trips including Inshore, Nearshore (around 3 miles out), and Offshore (up to 9 miles out). We also have great success with our 2-Hour "Matinee" - great for kids or 1st time salt water fishermen.
Our Inshore trips (3, 4, or 5 hours) go all around the bay for the inshore favorites - you might hook a Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, Mangrove Snapper, Speckled Trout or anything else cruising through. This trip is great for those who are looking for the calmer waters of the bay and being closer to shore.
Our Nearshore (3 or 4 hours) and Deep Sea trips (4, 5, or 6 hours) head out into the ocean and range from 3-9 miles out. On these trips we typically target Red Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, or a variety of Sharks. Depending on time of year, we also catch King Mackerel (Kingfish), Cobia, Amberjack, Pompano, and other species that may be migrating through the area.
Our 2-Hour Matinee is great for kids or newer fishermen that want to get a feel of what Saltwater fishing is all about. This is a great trip to go out and catch some fish, experience the thrill, enjoy the scenery, yet be out a shorter amount of time. We take the time to show newer fisherman what they need to do and give as much help as they need throughout the trip to make sure everyone has a blast.
Your excursion will be aboard our late model 25' Sea Hunt bay boat with room for 6 passengers. It has a great casting platform and room to spread out of the fishing, with cushioned seats for comfort while you're heading to the next spot.
We cover everything for fishing - we suggest bringing sunscreen and any snacks/drinks (we have a cooler for them). Tips are customary for good service.
Captain Chris Ward has over 25 years of fishing these waters, so he can get you to a variety of places with the best chance to catch great fish. We look forward to having you on board!

Heidi Coleman5.0VerifiedAwesome Experience
3 Hour Trip – Inshore on August 19, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a great time! The water was a little choppier than we had anticipated and with 2 younger boys we decided to stay closer. The captain refunded us the difference. He was very knowledgeable and had a fun personality. 3 out of the 4 of us were able to catch a fish, even if they were too big to keep.

We booked a shark fishing trip. We got a couple of bites, but no big catch on this trip. But anyone that truly fishes knows you can’t always get the big catch, and some days you may not get any bites at all thats just part of it. Captain Chris however did try his absolute best to make things happen, and we truly thank him for that. I would definitely recommend Fins and Family Fishing. We had fun, and laughed a lot, and even though we didn’t catch “The Shark” I plan to book with this charter again in the future. #ROLL TIDE
Thanks Christy! Next time we're going to get that big shark!
Caught some smaller red fish and mackerel. Managed to get 2 large into the boat -a red and a black drum. Hooked into pretty big ones that we weren't able to reel in. Chris was persistent about finding us a spot where we were getting bites. Even with the rain we had a great time and will be back.
Sorry about the rain but glad we were still able to get you all on some fish!
This was our first time going on a fishing expedition. It was a fun experience especially for the grandkids. We didn’t bring home the fish to cook but Chris did try. Fish were snipping at the bait but nothing big. We all Caught something to at least get a picture. It was more about fun and family time for us. I’m glad we got to meet Chris. If you are looking for a trip he is the one to pick.
It was a good trip we caught three keeper redfish and a nice flounder. I gave the trip 4 stars only because in my book in order to get 5 stars we would have had to limited out. It was a good time and I would recommend Fins and Family Fishing and captain Chris to anyone. The only thing you should know before you go is if you prefer to fish a baitcaster reel you better bring it with (which I did) otherwise you'll be fishing with spinning reels.
Hi Phillip, glad you all had fun and got some good keepers. Next time will work on you limiting out :)
We had a great time! The water was a little choppier than we had anticipated and with 2 younger boys we decided to stay closer. The captain refunded us the difference. He was very knowledgeable and had a fun personality. 3 out of the 4 of us were able to catch a fish, even if they were too big to keep.
Glad ya'll had fun even with the water conditions. Wish more were keepers but will take "too big to keep"!
