Orange Beach has a fish with your name on it, so let Sandy Shores Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Bill knows them forwards and back.

Redfish, Red Snapper, Narrow-barred Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, African Pompano Jack, King Mackerel (Kingfish), and more could be biting, depending on the season.

On the day of your trip you're likely to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Trips with Sandy Shores Charters are open to the whole family, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are also a good idea to keep their stamina going!

Your vessel for the day is a 27' Center console with room for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's recommended to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is not allowed.

Now, time to hit the water with Sandy Shores Charters!

    GREAT DAY!!

    6 Hour Trip — Ultimate Adventure on May 16, 2026 • 2 adults

    I’ve been on many chartered fishing trips however this trip definitely takes the win !! Capt. Bill knew exactly where to take us to find the monsters. I’m not sure exactly how many fish we landed but, I lost count around the 30’s. and there were many more landed. Captain Bill is a very experienced captain/angler and does a fine job on passing his knowledge on to others. Not only did I catch fish I also got a few lessons on identifying species and how to properly prepare them for processing.

    Great day on the water

    4 Hour Trip — Fishing Adventure on June 22, 2026 • 3 adults

    Had a great time with Captain Bill. He was ready to leave first thing this morning and was very knowledgable about where and what to fish. Weather was the problem so the fish were not biting. Turned out that none of the other boats were catching anything today. Will definitely charter with Captain Bill again.

    Rated 7 out of 8 on the snapper scale!

    6 Hour Trip — Ultimate Adventure on June 27, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Bill was fantastic, fun, patient, and worked hard to get us on fish. So close to limiting on Red Snapper and caught a beautiful Amberjack that we released. We would definitely use Captain Bill again! Great for first timers or experienced old guys like us.

    Rough Waters

    4 Hour Trip — Fishing Adventure on June 4, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Although the waters were very, very rough, Bill worked to get us onto fish. Graciously cleaned our catch when we got back and made suggestions on local restaurants that could fry it up for us. Weather conditions are outside of our control, but he did his best to ensure that the reason for our trip to Gulf Shores was fulfilled. Thank you!
