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.

Captain Glenn was an awesome and knowlegeable Captain and very amenable to whatever we wanted to do. There were several floats and games for everyone's use. The decorations were so cute, the bar in the middle of the boat was perfect to sit at and we loved the hammocks. Such a relaxing day - we even got so see several dolphins! Everything was safe and secure and the bathroom was the icing on the cake (especially for this momma!). We loved the island vibe music but Glenn was open to other music if you wanted to change it up. Being able to bring your own snacks and beverages was perfect. We would definitely do this again and again when we return. Thanks Captain Glenn for an awesome day at Orange Beach!

With a roof overhead and railings along the side, everyone has an unobstructed view (other than sometimes people on the other side). And we could move around if we wanted. The bench seats were comfortable, and the ride was very smooth and stable. The tour experience was highlighted by the guide's running commentary, complete with funny jokes and good natured humor. We saw a good number of dolphins and learned some interesting facts about them. We highly recommend this dolphin cruise and will definitely choose them again the next time we want to do this fun activity.

Picture a neighborhood on the water oozing character and incredible sunsets. Incredible. Sunsets. Stop by the Dock Store during the day to get a drink for a dollar or 2 less than the Tiki Hut next door and wander the docks. If you happen to be lucky enough to be there for sunset, plan on posting up at one of the tables on the upstairs deck of Flippers Restaurant. Best sunset view around, hands down. Looking for an adventure? You'll find Wallace Boat Rentals, Sail the Daedalus & a couple Dolphin Cruise charters. Try out the Cold Mil Fleet if you're looking for the best $15 boat ride on the island. If you're expecting the yachtie crowd you're at the wrong place...you're looking for the Wharf, Barber's or Sportsman's. But to kick back and enjoy a drink with a more casual crowd, give Bear Point a shot.

Highly recommend going to pirates cove if you are doing the 2 or 3 hour tour. Worth the money for sure! Best jet ski experience in Alabama/ Florida.

I fully admit I had no idea the "Redneck Riviera" was this special. While you're in the area, it's…read moreinexcusable to not explore it by boat. If you really want a VIP experience, do so via Sail Perdido. I have spent a lot of time on boats in a lot of places around the world. That being said, there were a few stand outs about Sail Perdido that I have never experienced anywhere else: 1) DOLPHINS ARE EVERYWHERE. There is a huge dolphin population here. I lost count of how many dolphins we saw during our sail. 2) You feel totally isloated. We didn't see many other boats, despite perfect boating weather and the beautiful scenery. I'm not sure how this place is such a well-kept secret, but I'm glad it is. 3) Captain Bo is the man. He went above and beyond to make our trip as relaxing as possible and tailored to what we wanted to do. It's always special to be around someone who truly loves what they do; he seems to truly enjoy the trip as much as his guests. 4) If you want, you can have full control of the on-board music. Bring your iPod/phone if you want to play your own tunes. You won't be judged for your questionable music taste -- Capt Bo even let me listen to Enya at one point. It doesn't get much more tolerant than that. Life really felt like it slowed down for the hours we were on board. Most of our day was spent just lounging. You can get plenty of sun stretched out on the bow, while the aft provides full shade. When we were ready for a little action, we anchored for a swim. We were even allowed to jump off the top of the boat for a little thrill. The sailboat itself, L'Attitude, is so majestic and exactly what you "expect" a sailboat to look like (or at least what I expect). There's plenty of room to chill out down below, too. The interior is cozy with rich wood paneling. And don't worry, you don't need to use nature's toilet during your cruise -- the boat has a working, clean toilet. Fun fact: Captain Bo is sailing this boat around the world in the next few years. Be sure to ask him to share his story with you. He's happy to answer even the most ridiculous questions about his journey. It's surreal to imagine being on this boat in the middle of the ocean for weeks at a time, all by yourself. (Warning: you might ponder deep thoughts for days to come and/or want to leave your job when you return home.) Trips on Sail Perdido are suitable for pretty much anyone, be it families, couples, or groups of friends (we were a group of 3 girls). Capt Bo told us he even had a couple get engaged onboard recently. It's also worth noting that Sail Perdido is LGBT friendly (which you don't really expect to find 'round these parts). Just keep in mind you can only have up to 6 people in your group (not for lack of space, but because the Coast Guard says so...) Sailing is kind of the perfect metaphor for focusing on the journey versus the destination. In the words of Captain Bo, you're always trying to get somehwhere on a power boat. On a sailboat, you're already there. Sail Perdido is the ultimate experience for anyone looking for total relaxation and getting away from it all.

You are comfortable because you know that there is no need to worry, that all your cares have been left on land. You can just sit back, sip your drink, and watch the colors of the sky unfold. All your senses are stimulated: your favorite song humming through the sound system, a beautiful wine dancing on your tongue, the sights of the sea all set off by the foreground of a beautiful, antique sailboat. This is what sailing with Bo feels like, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. Day, night, sunrise, sunset. Nothing changes, except you.
