Gulf Island Charters – Family/Kids
Gulf Island Charters invites you to team up with Captain Donald Roy for an action-packed, catch and release fishing experience out of Orange Beach, Alabama. He has been fishing these waters for most of his life and knows them like the back of his hand. Whatever you might want to do on the water, he's bound to know the best way to get started.
Captain Donald specializes in kid fishing trips where kids can learn to fish in a safe yet fun environment. While most charter fishing trips on the Gulf Coast are adult-driven, this trip is all about the kids. Their fishing trips are designed to introduce your children to saltwater fishing in calm protected waters close to shore. The fish you can expect to hook are Catfish, Croaker, White Trout, and Black Drum, just keep in mind all trips are catch and release.
You'll be fishing on his 26' Sea Fox center console that runs on a pair of 150 HP Evinrude engines. With a capacity of 6, it's the perfect vessel for small groups and family trips. A full array of Simrad and Furuno navigation electronics will ensure you're on the right track during the trip. It's also equipped with a clean restroom and freshwater sink. Please note that the captain operates on multiple ships and in case you are sailing on a different one than the above, that does not have a restroom onboard, the nearest one is 5 minutes away on the shore.
You'll be provided with all the necessary fishing gear and tackle for a productive trip. While there is bottled water aboard, you are more than welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks for the trip. Come on down and treat yourself to some of the best fishing around!

I love that this fishing trip was geared towards the kids! Or kiddos are young (7,4, & 2) but love to fish. The captian and his wife were all about the kids from the get go. Each kid was given their own pole. The second one got a bite they were on it to help them reel it in, get it off the line, and hand the fish over so the kids could pose for a picture with the fish they caught. We really appreciated the opportunity for the kids and will definitely cherish the memories! If you're on the fence, just do it! Even dad caught several and wa able to have a good time.
thank you!
Captain Roy put us on the fish! We had the best time and caught over a dozen fish (at least)! Very attentive, patient, and kind captain and we were lucky enough to meet his sweet wife. Cutest couple and the perfect guides for our very first family fishing trip in Orange Beach!! They told some great stories, the boat was spotless, and Captain Roy was an excellent driver! Can’t wait to go again!
thank you!
What a great introductory experience for young fisherman. Our 8 and 11 year old had a fantastic time. We all caught fish, which was a great bonus. The captain was really friendly and patient. We opted for 2 hours, since it was our first time fishing on the ocean, but defintely could’ve enjoyed more time. That said, we definitely made the most of the time. Highly recommend!
thank you
Both of our boys were lucky enough to catch Sail Catfish- one each, and we saw dolohins throughout our 3 hour trip. Captain Donald Roy was very knowledable and friendly. Our 4 year girl loved watching the dolphins. Highly recommend this charter! We went in March over spring break and it was a bit chilly, so pants and sweatshirts/layers is a good idea.
thank you!
Great experience with Captain Donald. The kids love it. They was able to catch some nice size fish. Captain Donald definitely knew where the spots was at for them to catch some fish. He was warm welcome to kiddos . They are already ready to rebook another trip. I highly recommend Captain Donald 💯
thank you!!
