Gulf Island Charters invites you to team up with Captain Donald Roy for an action-packed 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.

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.

Captain Donald has a wide variety of packages to suit even the most discerning guest. Those in search of some fine table fare should make the best of the summer Red Snapper season, fishing near the oil rigs, which you won’t regret! Other fish found in the local waters include Redfish, Amberjack, Kingfish, Cobia, and more besides. If you’re more interested in just cruising, feel free to enjoy the wildlife and watch the Blue Angels flying high overhead on the non-fishing trips.

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!

Please note: Due to the nature of fishing, kids’ fishing trips tend to be catch and release only.
