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.

Took their 8am deap-sea fishing trip. It's a big, clean, well maintained, well crewed boat…read more There were a LOT of people - probably 55 or 60. 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.

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.

We move to another spot and drop our lines down for 30 seconds before we have to reel back in because we're moving again. long story short the whole trip was like this we caught 3 fish total and only fished for 30 minutes total. the other 5.5 hours was driving around, seriously. It became quite clear the captain and deckhand were drunks who just wanted to get some money and drink. I have been deep sea fishing 15 times and fished from Oregon to Key West, Florida, and this was by FAR the very worst experience of them all. Do not recommend to anyone!!

Landon was our fishing guide. He was awesome! It was very obvious that he knows the "hotspots" in…read morethe gulf. Other fishermen kept following us because they knew that Landon knows where the fish are. We went out around 7am caught our own bait and fished for four hours. I've been in many charters before that start the "clock" as you leave the pier. We had a 13 year old with us and Landon was very helpful to him. We actually fished for four hours but we were on the boat for five. He brought us to three different areas and we caught enough fish to feed 15 people 3 meals!! Landon cut the fish for us at the dock and there were no bones, all meat. If I come back to gulf shores I would definitely go back out on the Southern Bend.

The crew was energetic, stayed in character, and clearly worked hard to make the experience fun for…read morethe kids. That said, I think it's important for parents to know that this may not be the best fit for every child. There were several moments that seemed overwhelming for some of the younger or more sensitive kids. The crew repeatedly joked about "walking the plank," and I noticed more than a few children become upset or cry during those segments. While it was intended as playful pirate humor, not every child interpreted it that way. The biggest thing to be aware of is just how wet you can get. The cruise includes frequent water games, water fights, and bucket dumping. The crew does mention that guests may get wet, so this wasn't completely unexpected. However, I was walking back from the restroom (coming through the dry covered area) when an entire bucket of water was dumped on me. We were planning to go straight to dinner afterward, and I happened to be wearing a nicer dress and carrying a handbag. Thankfully my bag was water-resistant, but if I had been carrying paperwork, electronics, or a less durable purse, it could have been a problem. I understand that getting wet is part of the experience, but I do wish there had been a little more awareness of guests who were clearly dressed for plans after the cruise or a quick warning before a full bucket of water was poured. Especially just walking through the splash area from the restroom. One additional note: we've previously done the pirate cruise in Panama City Beach and personally preferred that experience. If you're expecting something similar, be aware that this cruise has a much heavier emphasis on water play and soaking guests. I'd also say this is much lower budget. The Panama City Beach cruise felt more focused on pirate adventure, storytelling, and character interaction, while this one centered much more on quick water games and pirate jokes. My recommendation would be to wear clothes you don't mind getting soaked and leave anything valuable or water-sensitive behind. If your child loves high-energy activities, water play, and pirate silliness, they'll probably have a great time. If they're more sensitive to surprises, getting splashed, or the idea of "walking the plank," this may not be the best fit.

The Pirate Ship Adventure is definitely geared toward kids, and the crew does a fantastic job…read morekeeping them engaged. They play games, tell stories, and stay in character the whole time, which makes for a fun and interactive experience. The little ones especially enjoyed the pirate hats and treasure at the end. For adults, though, it's a bit on the cheesy side. The boat ride itself isn't much--just a short trip out in front of some beachfront hotels before turning around. If you're expecting an actual sightseeing cruise or something more adventurous, this might not be it. That said, if you're looking for a break from the beach and something different to entertain the kids, it does the job. A few things to know: Kids 8 and under must wear a life jacket, which they provide or you can bring your own as long as it's Coast Guard approved. Also, expect to get wet! We dressed the kids in swimsuits, and even my spouse and I ended up getting splashed. Overall, it's a fun way to mix things up during a week at the beach, but it's definitely more for the kids than the adults.

On August 4th my stepson and I boarded Captain Franks boat and this was my 2nd time to fish…read moreoffshore. My Stepson had never fished offshore before. We headed out as scheduled and within an hour a storm blew up and it started raining really hard. Captain Frank asked us if we wanted to fish or head back. We wanted to fish. He looked at the radar and headed the Gypsy Girl directly into the heart of the storm. After 30-40 minutes we passed through to the tail end of it and he turned the boat around and we started fishing. We noticed there were no other boats out fishing due to the storm as they had returned to the dock. With Captain Franks knowledge of the waters ,we caught our limit of King Mackerel and Spanish mackerel within a couple hours and had the most fun I've ever had. The 1st mate had his game on and we never missed a hit. I would highly recommend the Gypsy Girl and Captain Frank to anyone fishing in the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach waters. He really knows his stuff. The 1st mate cleaned our catch and Captain Frank gave us detailed instructions on how to prepare and Smoke our Catch. He is also an Extremely well seasoned Chef. They turned out perfect. To simply put it like Arnold Schwarzenegger " I'll be BACK " Randy R Kimble Texarkana,Texas
