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!

My husband began to have chest & back pains late in the day and was not sure if it was related to muscle or heart. We tried to call after 8 pm to find out about cancelling but they were closed and there was no emergency number noted. So he just took some meds and tried to sleep and thought he would still be okay to go. After a horrible night of muscle spasms and pain he knew that he needed to be seen medically this morning. We called at 5 am and left a message and then I called again at 5:45 to tell the store owner and she said to speak to Lynn at 9 am. After the doc appt and a doctor's notice for rest till Monday I went there to explain and ask for our $515 refund. Lynn had no compassion, no Hello or anything as I told her what happened. She said repeatedly that they are there to make money and she would not issue a refund or an offer of when you return back we can put you on another charter NOTHING. Just rudeness. I know there is a no-cancel policy but emergencies do arise and you should analyze on case by case situation. God forbid if my husband had gone anyways and needed emergency care on board the boat. I am sure you made plenty of money with 13 on board at $250 per person + tips. You will never get our business and we bring friends & business owners down all the time who love to fish and have plenty of money to spend. Such a shame that this is how greed has been today.

He didn't hardly even speak to us except to repeat 3x, "do not thrown toilet paper in the toilet, put it in the basket only". Which was ironic since there was no toilet paper anywhere on that boat. The main reason we were willing to pay more for a boat with a toilet, yet we couldn't use it. Unbelievable...how cheap do you have to be to make the customers provide their own toilet paper??? Also, when comparing boat to price in the area, this boat seems way over priced for the age and condition it's in. It looks nothing like it does on the website...maybe when it was new, but certainly not now. As for the captain, we don't even know his name because he never introduced himself but he did manage to be very snippy towards the deck hand. The fishing equipment kept breaking which took time away from fishing. The one time the Capt. came down from his perch, we got to over hear him telling the deck hand that the last deck hand, "broke all the equipment and took things out of spite. As soon as we got back to the dock Dale fired him". So why didn't he have it all fixed and replaced before we got on the boat??? Not to mention the equipment was all very old and wore out. We spent 3-4 hrs riding out and around looking for fish and 2 actually fishing. Nothing we caught was as over 10" long. The Captain didn't seem to know what he was doing at all. We didn't even catch 1 fish in the last hour. He didn't have a clue (or just didn't care) how to put us on any fish anywhere. We had asked the Captain as we were departing the marina, "what kind of fish can we expect to be catching?" And his response was "not much sense everything is out of season". We hoped he was joking, but he was not. No one told us this when we booked it? We had specifically asked about and said we wanted a private charter that we might expect to catch some big fish on, even if we had to throw them back. We just wanted to have lots of fun because it was a birthday present for someone in our group. The gentleman booking it said "oh you will catch some good ones, our captain's know how to put you on the fish and you will have a great time". We knew some fish were out of season so we'd be throwing a lot back but even the red snapper we caught and threw back were under 10" long. WTH??? We've been on several charter trips and this is by far the worst ever. The "fish weren't biting" excuse can't be applied here either because 3 other boats were at Zekes Marina cleaning fish when we got back and their haul was huge! We asked what kind of charters they were, thinking it was an 8 or 10 hr charter, but no, they were 4 and 6 hr charters like ours. Yet they caught bigger and more, not to mention their customers were laughing and going on and on about how much fun they had. We had NONE! If it weren't for our deck hand (who gets 5 stars) we would've been miserable! He was the saving grace to this crappy trip. We tipped him good because he tried very hard to take up the slack of this lackadaisical captain. We're sure business is so good for this company that they don't have to worry about customer service so our review won't bother them a bit. Nor will our bad experience cause them to loose sleep spending our hard earned $1400 we had to pay for this joke of a fishing trip. But know this, not that it means that much, Class Act Charters will never be recommended by us and will always be a very bad memory for us. Very disappointed, is an understatement!

With that being said, this review is simply from a spectators point of view. If you can get there very early to get a great spot along Canal Road in Gulf Shores right off 59 where the canal is very narrow, this is an awesome parade and tons of fun! If you don't, well good luck! I've never watched the parade from Lulu's but I don't think it would be as fun seeing the line-up as seeing them float by. Maybe I'm wrong. I have watched the end of the parade at the docks when they docked at Zeke's a few years ago. Many of the boats had already pulled off and went on their way, and didn't go all the way to the end. The ones we saw were super fun, with music playing and all lit up (and I'm not just talking about the boats)! This past year, we attempted to watch the parade from Waterfront Park in Orange Beach. We assumed that would be a perfect spot, but unfortunately, the canal was very wide and we could only see the boats off in a distance. For that view, it wasn't worth our time. I'm not sure why they would pass so far from the view of the crowd that lined up to watch. Maybe there's a reason I'm unaware of? This is worth seeing if you've never been to a boat parade. I will say that if you can't get to Canal Road early enough for a good spot, it's probably not worth your time to go.
