Grandparents and three grandsons Chartered fishing trip…read more From the very start, I knew Captain Troy would be the perfect Charter for us and our three grandsons. 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.

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!!!

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. We caught our limit of red snapper and a king mackerel, so the catching was great. 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!

Make sure to mention to her though if you're celebrating a special occasion (birthday, anniversary) because she will definitely make it even more special for you. I mean, have you ever had a fishing charter provide you with a birthday cake? Personally, I'm not super into fishing but my husband is and I still had an amazing 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.

There is also a hiking trail on the north side of the road. Just a short jaunt from the restrooms is a boardwalk over the dunes to a mobi-mat that goes most of the way out to the beach.

"LOST KEY" This beautiful area is located just a few miles south from Pensacola. "Perdido Key" is the other end of the National Seashore barrier island in northwest Florida/southeast Alabama. The Florida district of the Gulf Islands National Seashore includes the east end of the island, as well as other Florida islands like White Island, my fave. No more than a few hundred yards wide in most places, "Perdido Key" stretches 16 miles from Pensacola beach. It's where all the locals go. It's a Gorgeous place. Fabulous beach! There are lots of places to stop off and park and go to the beach here and it's FREE. Be careful walking over the dunes, if you get caught by the lifeguards crossing the protected dunes you will get a $500 ticket. Very hedonistic, naturally wild, with tons of wildlife. We always see dolphins here. "Lost key" is the best place to get LOST! Lol However, the areas where the restrooms and showers are, are the designated place you should cross over to the beach. Enjoy! Highly recommend.

Captain Randy was a fantastic skipper who made the cruise very enjoyable and comfortable for all. Unlike some other sailing companies, we ACTUALLY sailed in the Gulf (engine off) and enjoyed the breeze and the views. As a sailor on Lake Michigan, Captain Randy let me take the helm of the 35-foot Beneteau for much of the sail. (THANKS, Captain!) He has tons of local knowledge and provided great information to our group. The boat was super clean - the topsides dazzling white and the woodwork varnish below deck looked wet it was so fresh looking. My only regret is that we did not book a longer cruise. Tom H.

It was a little crowded if you were fishing on the sides of the boat. The captain did his best to put us on fish, and moved a number of times. All in all, it was fun and we each caught some fish. The mates were really good - they took your fish off, cut up bait, helped with tangled rods, cleaned your fish. If you can afford to charter a captain and boat, that would definitely be more fun. And I cannot imagine taking the 3pm fishing trip if it's July or August - it would be hotter than hell. But for the cost, this was fun. Definitely a well-managed operation.
