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%.

Great experience with Captain Mike
4 Hour Trip on August 12, 20262 adults1 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! 🎣

Captain Mike superfan!
4 Hour Trip on June 1, 20262 adults2 children

My family has been fishing with Captain Mike for many years. Today fishing was tough but he kept trying and moved to try new spots. We caught lots of fish but most weren’t big enough to keep. Appreciate his effort and entertaining stories. He also handled my 7 yo grandsons constant questions with aplomb.Thanks Capt Mike, hopefully see you next year!

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.
