Welcome to Raven Blue Fishing! We are located at Zeke’s Landing Marina in beautiful Orange Beach, Alabama. We specialize in fun family fishing where your experience is our priority. We are here to catch fish, but more so than that, we would like to give you one of the best days of your year.

We mainly target King and Spanish Mackerel on our 4-hour trolling trips. Our 5-hour trip provides a chance to do some light bottom fishing after trolling to target Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Little Tunny, and Triggerfish (depending on what is in season). Our 6-hour trip includes less trolling and more bottom fishing. We can also do a shark trip in 6 hours.

Raven Blue is a family-friendly charter, so children are welcome aboard. The United States Coast Guard requires that all children 12 years of age and younger wear a life jacket. If you have a personal life jacket for your child, you are welcome to bring it with you. If not, one will be provided. Also remember to bring your own food and drinks. Reasonably sized coolers are welcome.

Raven Blue is a 42' sportfishing boat with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has outriggers and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 20% tip is customary.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow the regulations while you fish.

Sunglasses, sunscreen, bottled water, food, any medications you take regularly, and phone chargers are things we recommend you bring with you. Alcohol and tobacco products are also allowed.

Now, it's time to hit the water with Raven Blue Fishing! Please remember to tip your deckhand 20% of the trip price.

I absolutely LOVED this trip!
6 Hr – Bottom Fishing on August 21, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

We caught a huge 25-lb Jack trolling on our way out, at least 12 Red Snapper, and then 3 Spanish Mackerel on the way back! Captain Thad and the crew were not only incredibly helpful, but genuinely easy and fun to hang out with. The A/C cabin was such a nice break, and even the playlist was right up my alley. There was one moment I don’t think I’ll forget — the sea was completely calm, there was nothing around us, dolphins were swimming nearby, and Oasis was playing in the background. I remember looking around and thinking, “I am so thankful for this life.” Captain Thad, Brendan, and Alexa — thank you. The whole day was such a gift, and one we’ll remember for a long time. ❤️

Awesome trip!
6 Hr – Bottom Fishing on June 12, 2026 • 5 adults

This trip was awesome from start to finish! Captain Thad and deckhand Brayden were beyond exceptional. The captain took us to fish and kept us on fish the entire trip. The deckhand was always there taking fish off, baiting hooks, and tending to us and the boat. I highly recommend booking a trip on the Raven Blue!!!

i know it was rough and the fishing was tough. Did I, or Hannah, do anything you wish we would have done differently or was the boat not up to expectations?
