Our trip was an absolute blast! It was a great time from start to finish, never a dull moment. Captain Will got us right on the fish and had them in the boat in no time thanks to his two great deckhands. If you’re ever in the Gulf Shores area, I highly recommend these gentleman. He will be our Go-To fishing charter from here on out. Thanks again, Captain Will and Crew!

Let first by saying I was so pumped up for this trip. We booked a 6 hr bottom/ trolling AM trip that was $1,425 before the $300 trip for the deck hand, specified what kind of fish that we wanted to target mahi, wahoo, amberjack, cobia but never got a message back but a phone call at 8:15pm the night before. The captain told us that we were leaving in the morning at 7am instead of 6am which I have never experienced. But made sense when I heard that he was at the bar the night before where post Malone was. Saying that we will have a good time and get on some fish. While going to leave in the morning he informs me that we will target vermillion snapper and trigger fish, which wasn’t at all what I wanted to do and that he couldn’t catch what I wanted on a 6 hour trip which I have never in my life heard or experienced on any charter. So I told him that I would pay for a 8-10 hr trip if needed and he proceeds to tell me I would need to pay for the 12-24 hr trip if I wanted to catch really big game. But says we will get us on some good fish. Then while leaving says that we have to go fuel up on our way out which should have been done before the time of our trip started. Once we finally start heading out he stated yea it’s going to be a bumpy ride but I was fine with that because I have been fishing my whole life and have been through worse. It took almost an hour and a half for the deck hand to drop lines to troll and then trolling for only 30 minutes where we stopped and caught two undersized trigger fish and tiny vermilion snapper where the deck hand fished to just but meat in the boat. After about 30 minutes I said can’t we move on to catch bigger game because I feel like I am catching bream and the captain just says this is what you get for a 6 hr trip…and I love to fish and anyone who knows me knows that I never put a rod down but I did and went in the cabin to sit with my wife to calm down because I was so pissed. finally we move for another 30 minute ride just to catch a couple of live bait. Then the captain comes in the cabin to dump the septic tank because he says it’s full, just things that should have been taken care of before the captain was on our paid time. Just for another 45 minute ride going closer back to shore where he said we can get you on some amberjack but I caught two red snapper, second one which snapped the rod while I tried to keep him from going under the boat because I could not go left or right since the the deck hand was fishing and did not pull rods out of the way or captain try and maneuver the boat to help and proceeded to say I’m high tipping the rod acting like it was my fault. The deck hand set up one more rod and the line got cut and then the captain ok that’s it we are heading back. Keep in mind we didn’t leave until 7:30 after fueling up and now it’s 11:40. Where some how it took us an hour to get back in to the dock so we couldn’t keep fishing and the deck hand just cleaned the boat and didn’t let us troll in. Once back he says next time you come out with us don’t use fishing booker because foreign companies are getting that money and should pay him directly. The tells my to pay the remaining $1,140 and $300 to the deck hand which was more than 20% tip for a terrible experience. Needless to say I felt robbed and didn’t even want to pay him for how unprofessional this charter was and feel like a should get atleast get a portion back for the waste of time and money. I will never book with the great escape charter again. I fish mainly out of Louisiana out of my 18’ xpress bay boat with a 115 Yamaha 2 stroke and can make it 30 miles offshore in alittle over and hour. We only went 9-10 miles offshore being able to see the shore most of the time.

We all had the best time fishing. We had 2 adults and 4 children.  It was super rough seas but Will put us on the fish and we had a blast catching some red snapper. Will is an excellent captain and knows what he is doing. I would definitely recommend Will and we will be going fishing with him again.

Very great job mother kept him and his deck hand! We had our limit in no time! Captain well definitely knows what he’s doing. We will definitely be booking again as soon as we come back! They were very knowledgeable and helpful as well! No issues at ALL! Great Guys! Highly Recommended!

Will and George provided an awesome experience for me and my buddies on a bachelor trip. The boat has been recently updated and has comfortable accomodations to include AC. The deckhand, George, did a great job helping is keep lines in the water and by the end of the trip we had our limit of 60 Vermillion and a few trigger fish as well. I have been fishing many times and have never caught so many fish. GREAT TRIP!
