It was a good trip I had fun we Caught a lot of black fin and yellow fin tunas well as an assortment of snappers. Overall it was a new and fun experience one I had not had the pleasure of experiencing before. The only thing to keep in mind that was not mentioned was that the deck hand ONLY work for tips so make sure that you factor that in to your plans, Other than that it was a good trip one that I can say I would love to experience again
Thanks for the review Jed. We are sorry to hear that you do not recommend us, as our crew worked very hard on your trip. They worked around the clock to ensure you guys stayed fishing and cooking on the green eggs as well breakfast, lunch & dinner.
In our Trip descriptions it clearly states that all our mates work for Tips. We did however answer all your questions prior to the trip departure.
Thank you for fishing with us, we hope to see you guys back again!

They demanded for us to pay 20% of $4,500.00 which is $900 for one of the crew members because the work for tip. We offered a $200 tip but they demanded at least $500 with $50 fish cleaning fee. They parked a truck in the drive way not allowing us to leave until we paid more than $570 in tip to the crew member which was the ladies son. We are very disappointed in the unprofessional manner we were treated. We didn’t expect to pay for there employee and $900 in tips is ridiculous. A tip is a tip and we should have not been obligated to pay but the drive way was blocked.

This is Kendall Annan, the captain of this charter boat. We clearly stat in our fishing description that our deckhands work for tips. 15-20%. This charter was from El Salvador and fishbooker is a 3rd party site. We also have a mounted plaques on both vessels stating the gratuities and fishing cleaning services.
After the safety briefing and meeting the charter the mate cooked breakfast for your entire party (11 persons), rigged tackle and cut bait on the way out and in between spots. You guys constantly kept him busy while we were catching fish and we had a great haul roughly 225lbs of fish…on top of giving your charter an extra 40 min of fishing (11 total hours) Everyone was happy, they even fished off our dock while cleaning the fish.
Post trip, you were told the balance and tip/fish cleaning. You still acknowledged you wanted the fish cleaned. 225lbs @ .30 cents is 67.50 for entire catch which would be 6$ person.
While leaving, you handed 170$ to be exact to my first mate, which would come out to be 3.79% tip without the fish cleaning that took over an hour and half. In the United States, many individuals in this service industry receive gratuities as part of their income which they rely on as part of their livelihood.
We’ve been in business for over 60 years and we are the last charter boat to run from our private residence/marina. We have one lane drive way that goes down to the water where you guys parked and can unload closer to our boats also we have a second multi passenger boat running so we try our best to keep other customers from getting blocked in.
Prior to leaving I kindly asked if we can somehow get his tip close to 10%. 500$ even was collected, I shook hands with everyone and you guys were packed with ice for the road and were on your way.

Absolutely superb bottom fishing. Brian and his sons have their own artificial reefs that they have been placing out in the Gulf for more than 30 years. Unbelievable habitat for Red Snapper, Amberjack, Trigger Fish and Grouper has been the result. If they are not catching (I have never been with them when we haven’t) nobody is. The Annan family has been a fixture in the charter boat fishing industry in Orange Beach, Al for more than 40 years. Simply the best.

Great overall fishing experience! Capt. Brian made sure we got on the fish and Tripp was great on the deck. First fishing trip for several of our kids and there ready to go back. BTW if you don’t want the hassle of the big marinas this is the place! We will be back
I’m glad you had a great fishing trip ! We look forward to seeing you again soon . Thank You !
The Captain and crew were great!!! The Captain kept us on the fish and the crew gave us more help and attention than I expected. The fishing was great. I had a few questions the week before and all of my calls were returned and all of my questions were answered.
Thank you ! I’m glad your group had a great time We are looking forward to seeing y’all again soon. !
