    A Reel Good Time!

    6 Hour Trip • 6 adults • 1 child

    What an incredible day out on the water! We had an amazing deep sea fishing trip targeting red snapper, and it did not disappoint. The captain and crew were knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great experience. They knew exactly where to find the fish, kept us on them all day, and were always there to help with baiting hooks, landing fish, and making sure everyone felt comfortable. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and the entire trip was organized from start to finish. If you’re looking for an unforgettable deep sea fishing adventure and want to catch some beautiful red snapper, I highly recommend this charter. We made great memories, caught plenty of fish, and can’t wait to book another trip. Five stars all the way!

    4 Hour Trip • 8 adults

    we did just a 4-hour trip, Captain and deckhand were ready to go when we got there a little early. They found us some fish by trolling and bottom fishing. there were 7 of us, we all caught several fish and had a great time!! Monkey was our deck hand, he was awesome! he definitely made our trip a success with his great attitude, conversation and of course helping us with the fishing! He expertly turned our catch into fillets and steaks. Thanks for the great trip! was a highlight of our trip to Gulf Shores for a family reunion Jim

    4 Hour Trip • 9 adults

    Had an awesome trip with Brianna Sportfishing out of Orange Beach. Captain ( Bobby Kelly )and crew were awesome; professional, hardworking, and knew exactly where to find the fish. The boat was clean, and the fishing was outstanding. Little man, Parker, killed it!! Way to go bud!!!!! We caught plenty of fish, had a lot of laughs, and made some great memories. If you’re looking for a quality charter in Orange Beach, I highly recommend Brianna Sportfishing. I’ll definitely be back!

    Great Trip

    6 Hour Trip • 8 adults

    Captain and deckhand truly were great. Me and some guys went down for a 6hr trip and with some storms in the area we pushed our trip from the morning to the afternoon. The captain was adamant that we have a good time because he knew it was going to be rough out in the gulf and done everything he could to get us on fish. Deckhand Jay was top notch in keeping us fishing the whole time- really worked his tail off for us. Great experience had by all of us

    Best of the Best

    8 Hour Trip • 7 adults • 2 children

    Where do I start. the captain and deck hand cool AF. dealt with my multi aged kids, little girl that neeses lits of help, and were patient when I got a little tipsy. We found fish on an off day out of season and killed it. we ended up with bags and bags and bags of filets. Well priced and even worked with us adjusting schedule for a bad weather cold snap. the boat itself was fantastic. Warm, good tunes. Convenient clean bathroom, large ice chest we were able to pack with our favorite beverages. this boating experience is a memory Ill cherish with my family for ever. i cant say enough good things, but I'll conclude by saying everything was just simply perfect down to the little details.

12hr grouper trip

May 13, 2023 • Orange Beach
Its a very common request that anglers request “grouper” on trips. Due to our geographical location, our main area of grouper habitat lies in over 200’ of water making it a full 35 miles at a minimum to start. This wahoo was caught while we were making our way down to the deep water rocks. We had a great catch of triggerfish, vermillion snapper, white snapper, almaco jacks, and of course Scamp grouper
