I grew up fishing out of Orange Beach, with all of my spare time being spent on the docks of Sportsman's Marina catching Flounder, White Trout, and Croaker. My hobby later turned into a career, after I spent time charter fishing with some of the greatest captains in the area. I now own and operate the Riptide, a 45' Resmondo that specializes in big fish and family fun!!

    Unmatched Charter Experience with Riptide

    6 Hour – Trolling/Bottom Summer - 2:00 PM • 6 adults

    Our group had an absolutely incredible 6‑hour afternoon charter with Riptide, Captain Seth, and First Mate Gauge. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make the entire experience unforgettable. Captain Seth was extremely easy to communicate with and genuinely accommodating throughout the trip. Gauge worked nonstop to keep us fully set up with bait, lines in the water, and fish coming off the hooks as fast as they were coming in. Their teamwork and professionalism made everything smooth, fun, and effortless. The boat itself is outstanding, comfortable, spacious, and equipped with every amenity you could want for a perfect day on the water. Overall, the experience for our group was one that simply can’t be matched. We will definitely be booking with Riptide again. Highly recommend.

    Another great fishing trip with Catptain Seth on Riptide

    8hr SS Bottom Fishing & Trolling • 8 adults

    We have fished with Captain Seth Wilson on the Riptide in Orange Beach for several years. He always puts us on fish and we always have a great trip. Our focus on this trip was red snapper. Catain Seth did not disappoint us! The deckhand, Trey, is also first class. We had 9 people fishing, so we kept him busy with providing bait and landing fish. He was very patient and proficient. If you are looking for a charter in Orange Beach I highly recommend Captain Seth and his first mate Trey on the Riptide.

    Spanish Mackerel

    Awesome Day for Red Snapper!!

    6 Hour – Trolling/Bottom Summer • 8 adults • 2 children

    We loved the whole experience! Everything was perfect! We caught tons of red snapper including smaller ones and the bigger ones! Trey the crew hand did an amazing job keeping our poles full of bait to getting the fish off and getting the poles back in the water to keep catching more! The captain knew exactly where the fish were!! We were so blessed with such a great trip and some delicious Red Snapper for supper and some in the freezer for another meal!

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Spanish Mackerel
    Gray Triggerfish

    Trey was awesome!

    6 Hour – Trolling/Bottom Summer • 7 adults

    Trey was the deckhand and ive done about 5-6 other charters now and hes by far the best out of anyone ive met in this industry! He doesnt treat it like a job he enjoys us catching fish just as much as we enjoy it if not more. Could not ask for a better experience with Trey hes super knowledgeable and a great guy overall. If your in doubt of what charter to go with take the riptide and ask for Trey specifically and you wont be disappointed.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Spanish Mackerel
    Response from Captain

    Thank you for the review? but why did you give Trey a 4.0 on crew and then say he did a great job? Thank you

    Great Afternoon of Fishing!

    3 Hour Trip – Trolling (PM) • 7 adults • 2 children

    The trip was awesome! Captain Seth was great and our deck hand Trey was phenomenal. He did an amazing job! He was great with all the kids and very knowledgeable about the fish. Fishing started off slow but Trey switched up tackle and Captain Seth got us on the fish and we all caught multiple Mackerel. We loved it!

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel
