We had an incredible offshore trip with Red Eye Charters and I can't recommend them enough. Our…read morecaptain, Gary, took us out for a full 8-hour trip offshore and worked incredibly hard the entire time to make sure my son and I had a great first time experience. The seas were pretty rough that day with a storm coming in, but he handled the boat like a pro and kept us safely moving between spots to stay on fish. We fished several different oil platforms and were catching red snapper most of the day (even if they had to be released, we still brought back Sheepshead, Whiting, and Spanish mackerel). At one point something huge hit my line so hard it actually snapped it, and Gary said it was likely an amberjack coming up with the snapper -- an unforgettable moment. What impressed me most was how knowledgeable and patient he was. He kept the boat positioned perfectly despite the wind and waves and was constantly helping us with lines, bait, and technique. Even in tough conditions, he made sure we stayed on fish and had a great time. We also saw dolphins, a Coastguard helicopter rescue, and had pictures taken at the lighthouse while we were out there, which made the day even more memorable. (We were even able to bring our dog). By the end of the trip we were exhausted, a little salty from the waves, and completely happy. If you're looking for a captain who knows the Gulf, works hard for his clients, and genuinely wants you to have an amazing fishing experience, book with Gary with Red Eye Charters. We will absolutely go out with them again next time we're in Gulf Shores.

Thanks to their initial advise on the weather, we went for the bay, but they did try the gulf for a minute, and it wasn't fun. We caught a bunch! They knew where the fish were. We'd do it again!

The action was nonstop, and we were pulling fish up one after another. We actually limited out for our group of 6 in just a couple of hours, which made for an incredibly successful trip. Captain Dylan was knowledgeable, professional, and worked hard to keep us on the fish all day. If you're looking for a charter that knows where the fish are and delivers results, I highly recommend Off the Hook Charters. We'll definitely be booking another trip!

We were first time charter boat folk, fiftyish parents and college aged kids. Captain Dan and his right hand man, Randy, were everything we could have asked for! We opted for a 6hr tour, we caught 12 fish between the four of us. Catch of the day was a 25 lb red snapper. We were interested in the spoils of our day, so we opted for the "hook and cook". Capt. Randy suggested The Yacht Club and it was BETTER than we could have imagined! SO GOOD! If you're interested in the personal touch and a one on one type experience, these guys are for you. It was probably a once in a lifetime experience/investment for us, making memories was our goal and we'll be talking about this trip for years! Thank you fellas for an unbelievable day!

(Apparently Bob has never been on an average…read moreeveryday charter trip with Jonathan; Bill's son) I booked the 2 day charter with Bill Willis and somehow was passed off onto his son. $700/5 hour offshore charter. They don't tell you that it's a 45 minute (one way) ride to get to where he is taking you. Jonathan was 15 minutes late and didn't even have his bait for the day so he had to make a stop on our fishing time. The first stop is amongst 20+ other charter boats less than 5 feet away in every direction. The second stop is over a sewer pipe; again amongst many other guides/boats. The third stop was actually offshore but only lasted about 15 minutes before he took us right back to the first stop. Most of your time is burnt up by moving the boat every 15 minutes. Even though their website states that they target a variety of game fish, Jonathan focuses on the bottom fish. The easy catch. There is no skill or strategy. This is easy money for a bunch of young kids. He spent the entire time on his cell phone. When I complained and asked for a personalized trip targeting a variety of species for the following day he responded unprofessionally and immaturely. When he showed up the following day he had a bad attitude and wouldn't even speak to me directly. He took us to the exact same spots as the previous trip. We did not go offshore because the wind was too strong but yet he charged us the offshore price again. When we got back to the dock he filleted the fish and left the skin and scales on. His goal is to waste time, take your money, hang out with his charter buddies and talk on his cell phone. If you complain about anything, he will make sure you pay for it, one way or another. I would've paid 5 times the amount that I did for a better guide. CONSUMERS BEWARE!!

We went out for an eight hour bottom fishing, and trolling trip. we had a variety of people on the trip from season fisherman to beginners and from teenagers to In their 70s with some health and mobility issues. From the time we boarded they took amazing care of us. They set up a chair at the back of the boat so our party member with mobility issues could fish comfortably. The deck hand Hunter was one of the best deck hands I've ever had. He kept us baited up, worked with the beginners and got the fish off the line and the hooks back out in the water after every catch. Captain Kendall put us spots that had us catching fish as soon as our lines got to depth and we caught our limit early and with ease. Like I said I've done a lot of charters and been out with a lot of Captains and deck hands and this crew is top notch for both beginners and seasoned fisherman. The boat is large and come with AC in the cabin. They will be my new go to charter. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a great gulf charter experience!
