About Your Trip

Join Captain Doug and experience an action-packed day of fishing in Orange Beach, Alabama!

You’ll be fishing aboard a gorgeous, custom-built 52’ Miller sportfishing boat that features two monster John Deere engines. The boat features a full suite of electronics to assist with efficient navigation and fish targeting.

With a spacious and comfortable back deck, a sturdy tuna tower, and an enclosed wheelhouse, as well as an extra-large cabin with 6 bunks, a master bedroom, and two restrooms, this vessel is perfect for large groups like bachelor parties looking to celebrate in style. The icing on this cake is the air-conditioned interior, satellite television, and a Big Green Egg barbecue smoker.

Captain Doug utilizes a wide variety of fishing techniques, including trolling, topwater lures, and deep drop fishing / jigging. Whether you are a novice or an experienced angler, he will supply all the gear and tackle necessary. On this trip specifically, you’ll be targeting Mahi Mahi / Dorado, Red Snapper (when in season), and Wahoo.

If you select the morning trip you will be **trolling** from behind the boat. If you select the afternoon trip, you will be **bottom fishing**.

The crew can host up to 15 passengers on a day trip and up to 8 on overnight trips.

Don’t forget to bring food and drinks for the day. Captain Doug will provide all licenses, rods, reels, tackle, and lures. He will also clean and fillet your day’s catch for a small fee.

Captain Doug is excited to give you a great fishing trip – it doesn’t matter if you’ve fished a hundred times or whether this is your first time taking the family fishing – there’s something for everyone to enjoy!

Capt. Doug and his mate made our trip the best we’ve had in our 22 years of marriage, they constantly strived to make our trip enjoyable, interacted with us and put us on the fish. We’ll be seeing them again in a few weeks and for every trip from here on out.

Capt Doug and Fishy were incredible. Best trip we have ever been on. Boat was great for the 8 of us and easily handled more.

The boat is very well layed out plenty of room for everyone. Had some hip issues and was using a cane on the trip with no issues. Couldn't say the boat is completely handicap accessible for a wheelchair but would recommend to any one with a cane or walker....

What a great experience!!! We had 4 kids with us ranging in age 4-9yrs old and a couple of grandparents too. We all had a great time!! The kids each caught a few fish and were thrilled! Kelly was amazing with the kids and we’re gonna eat well tonight! Captain Doug was communicative and delivered the perfect first experience on a fishing boat. We’ll be back!

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!
