  • ★★★★★
    Randall did a great job, and he stepped up to help when Captain Experiences cancelled my scheduled tip. I sent an earler review which I thought applied to Captain Experiences, and not to Randall and Captain Jerry. Those guys were great and I can't thank Randall enough for helping with the trip and Jerry was a great guide.

    Tom P. with Randall S. of Gulf Shores, Alabama

  • ★★★★★
    Great charter, showed up on the wrong date and they accommodated us by letting us fish that afternoon vs the next morning when we planned on driving back home. Jerry was great capt and put us fish and entertained all afternoon

    Capt. Troy was great. He paid attention to our two grandsons and moved to find calmer water and good fishing. And he accomplished both. Our only concern is that he spent a lot of time on his cellphone as the afternoon progressed. Even with that, we would recommend him for a family-oriented fishing trip.

    John G. with Troy W. of Orange Beach, Alabama

    Absolutely a five star experience! Capt Doug and his team have certainly done their homework! Put us on fish fast, and kept it coming for eight hrs! His team was fun, yet very professional and attentive to every fisherman on the boat! From beginner to experienced fisherman, you will learn something from this team of anglers! For all you Veterans out there, one Vet to another, Capt Doug has chewed the same dirt and understands our experiences. One of the few charters out of Orange beach that provides a Military discount, thank you Capt Doug for your service and for giving back to all who has served!
