just got done with a 4 hour combo charter. this was one of the most professional crews out there. we were going to start woth trolling then go to bottom fishing. the cpt. decided last second to switch it up so we raced the other charters out to the spot. im glad he changed it up. we had 8 people fishing in our group and we hit our limit in about 40 mins. we trolled back looking for mackerel didnt catch any of those. but when you are heading back to the dock with 80 keepers thats not to disappointing. once we got back to the dock it was nice to see what experience got us other boats were coming back with a total of 14 fish. while our deck hand was cleaning our 80. both cpt and first mate were very knowledgeable and willing to share the knowledge.

Captain Tom put us on the fish!  We had 11 people fishing and had a limit of snapper very quickly.  Also had fun catching some Spanish and King mackerel while trolling as well as a few bonita.  Brad, the first mate, was great keeping us all rolling and made it a lot of fun for the kids.  Second year in a row we have fished with them and it was great!

We went out on a fishing charter with a group of 15, and it could not have gone smoother. From start to finish, everything was organized, fun, and professional. The boat was clean and had plenty of space for everyone to fish comfortably.

A special shoutout to the deckhand – hands down the best we’ve ever had. Super knowledgeable, helpful, and kept things running efficiently the entire time. Whether it was baiting hooks, untangling lines, or helping with big catches, he was always right there and made everyone feel at ease, even the first-timers in our group.

Everyone in our crew caught fish, and we all had a blast. It was the perfect mix of relaxing and exciting. If you’re thinking about booking a trip, do it – and hope you get the same deckhand we did!

Would absolutely go again!

My son and I booked an 8 hour trip aboard Fairwater II for his birthday. Captain Tom was a very polite and knowledgeable captain who put us on fish, his First Mate, Fisher, was extremely helpful, polite, professional, and answered any questions and taught us techniques for catching fish. We limited out on Red Snapper and caught many vermillion snapper for our freezer. The Second Mate, Marshall, was also a great help and it was good to see a young man learning the business and working hard.
We are totally satisfied and we look forward to our next trip!
Thank you Captain Tom, Fisher, and Marshall for a great day on the water! God bless.

Captain Tom did a great job with the family catching fish and the crew kept the lines baited and when a fish was caught the crew kept it or threw it back what a wonderful meal we had. This was my first time on the ocean and it was fantastic. If you’re get sea sick take some dramamine and you’ll do just fine. Who knows where the Lord will lead us for our next vacation but if it’s back to Gulf Shores we will do this again. And it will be with Captain Tom and the Fairwater ll
