Navigator Charters is a fishing guide service owned and operated by Captain Mike Weaver. He is located at Zekes Marina in beautiful Orange Beach, Alabama along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

Capt. Mike is a USCG Licensed Captain that has decades of experience on the local area waters and loves to share his years of knowledge with all his guests.

You'll be fishing aboard a very dry and comfortable riding 24' Blazer Bay center console. The boat is equipped with GPS and Fishfinder to locate the targeted species and an I-Pilot trolling motor to hold you on their position. The vessel also has plenty of safety equipment, dry storage, and seating for a great day on the water.

As you explore shores, back bays and bayous along the beautiful Alabama Gulf Coast you will match the hatch with seasonal live bait and top of the line light tackle to target species such as Redfish, Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead Spanish Mackerel and King Mackerel.

Navigator Charters is a family friendly guide service and is open to all skill levels, so bring the kids or bring your fishing buddy and…Let's go fishing!

All trips come with the licenses, quality rods, reels, tackle, bait, and lures if needed. Your catch will be sent home cleaned and ready to go straight into the frying pan. The tips are 15-20%.

    6 Hour Trip on October 14, 2026 • 2 adults

    Today was our 4th year fishing with Mike and Navigator Charters while on vacation. He knows his stuff, knows how to find fish and put you on them, keeps the conversation going, and makes sure you have a blast! Booking with Mike includes great catches and good laughs, and we recommend him to everyone who ask.

    Great experience with Captain Mike

    4 Hour Trip AM on August 12, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an absolute blast with Captain Mike! He was amazing and the fishing was great. We caught some awesome Spanish Mackerel and Redfish and had a day full of laughs, good times, and tight lines. He was highly accommodating when my wife turned green from sea sickness and got her to calm water. This is our second trip with Captain Mike and he’s the only guide I would book. Highly recommend Navigator Charters—5 stars! 🎣

    Made the best of a potentially rough trip!

    4 Hour Trip AM on October 6, 2026 • 4 adults

    Mike was very upfront with us at the beginning of our trip regarding the likelihood of having an unsuccessful trip. He gave us options and let us decide. We really appreciated that! We decided to go for it and we are glad we did! We were able to catch red snapper, redfish, and jacks. We had a great time!

    We went out today with Navigator and it was great! We got the bites early and late in the trip but Mike kept working at it all day. And in the slow times he kept us entertained and motivated. Great guy and great captain!

I have fished the area my whole life but never thought I would be doing this for a living, however as one door closed the opportunity to step into the charter industry opened. I have now been a full time Captain since 2008 and love getting on the boat and meeting new people everyday.

    Mike was super awesome to work with! We shared many laughs! Mike did everything he possibly could to help us catch a fish! We saw dolphins, jellyfish, and were able to hold a small squid! We plan to do a four-hour trip with Mike next time rather than just a two-hour trip!
