What types of blue marlin fishing charters are common in Gulf Shores?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    Had a great time hats off to the crew Jason & Dillion. We caught the fish.

    Trip: Harbor Hookup: Destin Fishing Fun

  • ★★★★★
    We went out in a 6 hour deep sea fishing trip with Captain Eric and his deck hand Maddox yesterday 7/12/2025. They were both amazing, knowledgeable and extremely laid back and helpful. There were 6 of us and by 9am we had all already reached our snapper limit! We also caught some red grouper, but none were big enough to keep, Bonita, Amberine, black snapper, a trigger fish we had to release as they aren’t in season and a few others! We absolutely had a blast and would recommend Eric’s charter boat to anyone! If you get hot, all you have to do is step inside the HUGE air conditioned cabin that sleeps 6 with a full bathroom, living room and kitchen. The boat was meticulously maintained, and SO clean! You do not have to be an experienced fisherman to go out with them! They will guide you through everything!! We’ll definitely be booking again!

    Trip: Premier Destin - 60’ Blackwell

  • ★★★★★
    My family and I booked this trip with very little knowledge on what to expect. From the initial phone call to Curtis, through the entire trip, do you having our entire catch cleaned and filleted, we could not have been more pleased. Curtis and his crew were exceptional! We would definitely book with Curtis on Max Drag again.

    Caught a lot of fish. Captain Jacob was a great guy and worked hard the whole time to make sure we stayed on top of the fish.

    Jacob and Ryan where great to us on the boat. Really helped use catch everything we could. They went above and beyond to change up bait and move to better spots so we could catch fish. Would definitely do it again
