Orange Beach fishing charters and much more
We are all about fun and having a good time on our Orange Beach fishing charters. Catching fish is certainly very important to everyone. However, I believe your satisfaction is measured by your enjoyment, your comfort on a nice clean boat and the fish you catch. I began using light tackle several years ago and have taken it a step farther. You will enjoy the ease of catching fish on first class light tackle. You will also see why Gill, our deckhand, is popular with everyone who fishes on the Getaway. Listen as Gill shares his stories about our local area, fishing, his favorite recipes or just chatting with everyone on the boat whether they are adults or kids. You will appreciate Gill's patience as he assists you and your group with any and all of your needs. We cater to your needs. Your satisfaction is important to us. Come join us on the Getaway, one of the finest Orange Beach fishing charter boats.
Gulf Shores Fishing Orange Beach is only an eight minute drive from Gulf Shores. Enjoy Gulf Shores fishing and Orange Beach fishing from Alabama's nearest available access to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. You will enjoy the short 15 minute cruise to the beautiful gulf waters where it all begins.
Gulf Shores Family Fishing It is very rewarding for me to see families enjoy this wonderful experience. This is a great place for families to spend quality time together without any distractions. All ages are welcome. Four years old seems to be a great beginning age for these youngsters to experience some great fun & fishing. A four hour charter is usually best for the very young ones. However, many do well on the 6 hour trip. The Playstation II & the DVD player are also options for anyone that may get restless.
Our boat, Getaway, is a 36 foot Custom Hatteras and is fully air conditioned. She was repowered with faster diesel engines one year ago. She is is also equipped with a clean oder-free bathroom, shower, microwave, flat screen TV, DVD player, stereo system inside cabin and and on the back deck with XM & Sirius Satellite radio. The Getaway has new paint inside and out and new carpet. She is nice and clean for you and your family comfort. The Getaway is equipped with the latest safety equipment including epirb, two VHF radios, Furuno 48 mile radar, Garmin GPS with satellite weather including Nexrad weather, Fireboy automatic fire extinguisher system and the other normal requirements. The Getaway exceeds US Coast Guard requirements.
The interior of the boat is roomy with plenty of seating area. Enjoy the comfort while cooling off from the hot fishing action. We have a Play Station II and DVD player for some added entertainment. The kids will probably be busy enjoying the outdoors but this is a great option. They never get bored.
