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.

    6 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Today was our 4th year fishing with Mike and Navigator Charters while on vacation. He knows his stuff, knows how to find fish and put you on them, keeps the conversation going, and makes sure you have a blast! Booking with Mike includes great catches and good laughs, and we recommend him to everyone who ask.

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper
    Spanish Mackerel
    Jack Crevalle
    Redfish
    Response from Captain

    Always a good time and great seeing you and your son again. Good luck on those Bass tournaments! 🏆

    Great experience with Captain Mike

    4 Hour Trip AM • 3 adults • 1 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! 🎣

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Dustin! I enjoyed the trip with you and your family, glad your wife caught a few before dropping her of. looking forward to next time. 🎣

    Captain Mike superfan!

    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!

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel
    Speckled Trout
    Redfish
    Mangrove Snapper

    Everyone in our group was able to catch fish on our short 2hr trip. Captain Mike was very professional and was amazing working with all the differnet skill leveles of anglers we brought. We booked the two hour trip which was great for some of the kids in our group. We look forward to trying the 4 hour trip on our next visit.

    Made the best of a potentially rough trip!

    4 Hour Trip AM • 4 adults

    Mike was very upfront with us at the beginning of our trip regarding the likelihood of having an unsuccessful trip. He gave us options and let us decide. We really appreciated that! We decided to go for it and we are glad we did! We were able to catch red snapper, redfish, and jacks. We had a great time!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Mangrove Snapper

    2 mangrove snappers at first stop but they we’re under size. Second spot 5 over slot red fish and 1 keeper. Moved to 3 spot after the bite stop, but no luck there. Thanks, Captain Mike

    Mike was super awesome to work with! We shared many laughs! Mike did everything he possibly could to help us catch a fish! We saw dolphins, jellyfish, and were able to hold a small squid! We plan to do a four-hour trip with Mike next time rather than just a two-hour trip!

    Captain Mike is so fun and friendly. We have used him for several years and took my 10 year old grandson for his first experience. Capt Mike was so nice and patient with him. We will continue to use him! We always catch fish! 🐟

What's biting with Navigator Charters in Orange Beach

With the weather starting to disrupt the chances to go offshore, attention shifts inshore for winter. The good news is that some of the most prized fish can be found in the shallows, as Bull Redfish become commonplace!
