Not only were they knowledgeable about fishing, but they were genuine, friendly people. We enjoyed laughing and joking with them along with fishing. Troy knee right where the fish were, all 6 of us caught at least 1 keeper (and many more that were too small). I really appreciated Troy's conservation approach to fishing and it was apparent he knows what he is doing as a fisherman. The boat was sparkling clean, the water was beautiful, and the people were friendly. There was nothing not to love!! If you go to Orange Beach this is the place to go!!!

Captain Troy let us know that the day we booked, had predicted winds of 22 knots and offered an optional day. My husband and I had been on Charters before that didn't care about the weather, they just wanted the money. We agreed on the optional date and it was perfect. Captain Troy and 1st mate Sam were awesome, they made it such a wonderful experience for our grandsons and memories we will always share together.

The "Sea Hunter" fishing boat and its crew was exactly what our group needed. It was a spacious boat with an air conditioned cabin and plenty of space for our group.

The boat staff cleaned our fish when we returned to the marina, and we took quite a few fillets to Zeke's restaurant where they cooked them up for us; what an awesome feature!! Everyone loved the fresh fish and sides, and we did a few appetizers to round out the lunch. Give these folks a try, and I bet you will love them like we did!

The gift shop is well stocked with snacks and neat gifts! We have charted here before and highly recommend! Side note: You can have the restaurant cook the fish you caught right there at the marina! We opted to cook a meal at home, but will try the restaurant next time!

After fishing, he took us to the Florabama where we were able to actually get in the water and also have some drinks and food. Blue Water Charters is your one stop shop for accommodation/ dining recommendations while you're in town. Plus it really is such a great day out on the boat. I'll never book with anyone else while I'm in the area.

I met Captain Mitch while fishing for redfish under the Perdido Pass Bridge in April 2026. I…read morenoticed right away that his clients were consistently hauling in big reds while I was getting completely skunked using shrimp. Curious, I asked what bait he was using, and without hesitation he smiled and shared his advice with me. That immediately told me everything I needed to know about the kind of captain and person he is. After talking for a while, I asked if I could hire him to come fish on my boat. Together, we decided it would make more sense to fish on his boat instead. The next time I came down to Orange Beach, Captain Mitch called me when he had a short-notice opening, and we headed straight to the Perdido Pass Bridge targeting bull reds. My goal that day was to be a sponge and learn as much as possible, and Captain Mitch could not have been a better teacher. In just three hours, I caught seven bull reds and one slot red that I was able to keep. It was one of the best fishing experiences I've ever had. Captain Mitch is a fourth-generation charter captain with an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience, but what really sets him apart is his passion for the sport and the genuine joy he gets from helping others catch fish. He openly shares his techniques, strategies, and years of hard-earned experience because he truly loves what he does. Simply put, Captain Mitch is the best. I nicknamed him "The Fish Whisperer" because even when very few people around us were catching fish, we were hooked up consistently. He knows where the fish are, how to target them, and how to make the trip both productive and enjoyable. I honestly cannot say enough good things about him. If you want an experienced, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate guide, Captain Mitch is your guy. I will absolutely be fishing with him again.
