This speedy fishing charter has been taking novice and veteran fisherman alike out on the water for fun, fish, and fresh ocean breezes since 2016. At the helm, you’ll find Captain Walt; a former recreational fisherman, he became inspired to share his love of the sport with out-of-towners, visitors, and families across Alabama and beyond. He’ll pick you up at the Dauphin Island or Fort Morgan Marinas in the morning and get right to a half or full day of outdoor adventures. Every guest leaves with seasonal catches in their hands, pictures on their cameras, and memories in their mind’s eye.

Captain Walt and Keith were fantastic! Extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful, plus great to crack a joke and share a laugh with. The waves were choppy when we went out and Walt & Keith guided us through it and took us around the area when we eventually got too sick haha. Highly recommend! I’ll be coming to them again in the future.

Booked charter 6 months in advance only to have assigned captain (Jerry) cancel on us the evening before our charter. Never got a call or explanation from Jerry so it kind of left us feeling like we had been dumped. Adam from Captain Experience found us a replacement Captain (Chase) that did a great job but still feel as though we were shortchanged. I hope you dump Jerry as one of your “excellent” captains.

Im glad we were able to get you out with a replacement guide at the last minute for what sounds like a good trip but we still want to apologize personally for the disruption to your vacation and messaged you separately for a discount off your next trip with us (in any of our locations) if you'd be willing to let us make it up to you. We hope you had a good rest of your vacation and please reach out if we can do anything else for you.

Jerry and his sidekick were incredible. We haven’t been fishing for the past 10 years or so, and they showed us the ropes again. Weather was great and our catch was nice considering the fact that I got seasick. Not because of them. I’d recommend again!!!
