Great fishing experience

4 Hour — Trolling Family Special8 adults

The crew was great. We had 6 lines in the water within minutes of leaving the dock. We caught a few small mackerel right away but then not much for an hour or so. The crew kept working, changing lures and searching for fish. By the end, we all pulled in several ... and enjoyed our fresh catch at Zeke's restaurant. Fun afternoon on the Gulf.

    Great Experience

    6 Hour Trip — Red Snapper7 adults

    We had an amazing time on the 3/4 Day Red Snapper trip with Cool Change Charters on July 18th. The entire crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional from start to finish. What really stood out was how patient and helpful they were with our young kids. They went above and beyond to accommodate their experience level, made sure they were comfortable, and worked hard to get them on fish. Watching the kids catch fish and have such a great time made the trip unforgettable. We caught a great variety of fish, including Red Snapper, Mingos, and Mackerel, and the crew was always willing to answer questions and share their expertise throughout the day. If you're looking for a family-friendly charter with a professional crew that genuinely wants everyone to have a great experience, I highly recommend Cool Change Charters. We'd absolutely fish with them again.

    we had a great time on our 5 hour trip with Captain Joe, Adam, and Louis!! The time out on the water was exactly what we wanted and we appreciated Joe and the crew doing everything they could to get us on the fish and help us have a great trip. we caught a ton of spanish mackrel and a few red snapper. the crew were all great with my 11 and 6 year old daughters who now won’t stop asking about when they can go out again. i would highly recommend Cool Change Charters, you’ll be glad you did.

    3/4 Day Trip – Red Snapper7 adults2 children

    Cpt Joe, Adam & Luis (Lucas) 😉, did a great job of keeping fish on our line for our family of 7, ages: Dad 😁 down to a 12 year old girl. They worked really hard even after having just got in from a 6 hr trip that morning. We caught SEVERAL varieties of fish including cobia, trigger, flounder, grouper, remora, red snapper, vermillion snapper, spanish mackerel, king mackerel and more. Thank you, gentlemen for a memorable experience!!

    Great trip!

    5 Hour Trip — Combo - 7:00 AM7 adults2 children

    We had an amazing time on this fishing charter! We brought 2 adults and 6 kids, and it could not have been a better experience for our family. The boat had a nice inside/covered area which was perfect for the kids to take breaks and stay out of the sun when needed. The crew was incredibly patient, helpful, and made sure every kid had a chance to catch fish and have fun. They were great with families and made the whole trip easy and enjoyable. We made great memories and would highly recommend this charter to anyone, especially families with kids. We will definitely be back!

    Our first deep sea fishing was a success!

    6 Hour Trip — Red Snapper9 adults2 children

    Our group (3 adults and 6 kids) went out with Joe and Adam & we had the best time! We were able to bring home 3 red grouper, 7 red snappers, and 15 beeliners! Tropical Storm Bertha canceled our original scheduled trip but Captain Joe called us & was still able to accommodate us during our trip to Gulf Shores! We are so grateful for the experience and will use them for any future trips to the gulf!
