About Your Trip

Welcome aboard the ultimate Red Snapper fishing charter in Gulf Shores, AL! On this trip with Captain John, you'll head out on board his 36' Topaz sportfisher—a luxury vessel designed strictly for comfort and fishing performance!

Captain John and his experienced crew are passionate about fishing and will take you to the best spots to catch Red Snapper. These fish are known for their fighting spirit and delicious taste, making them a favorite among anglers.
Once you board, the crew will provide you with top-of-the-line fishing gear and bait. You'll also be treated to stunning views of the Gulf Coast as we head out to the fishing grounds.

Once we arrive at the fishing grounds, Captain John and his crew will help you hook into these prized fish and provide guidance on reeling them in. With their expert knowledge of the area, you'll have the best chance of catching your limit of Red Snapper.

As we fish for Red Snapper, you may also have the opportunity to catch other species such as Grouper, Amberjack, and King Mackerel.

Once the day is done, Captain John and his crew will clean and fillet your catch so that you can take it home and enjoy a delicious seafood dinner with family and friends.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, our Red Snapper charter with Captain John on his 36' Topaz is the perfect way to spend a day on the water. So grab your hat, sunscreen, and camera, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure that you'll be talking about for years to come!

He has fished in Key West, Savannah, Georgia, and the Gulf of Mexico, all the way to California, and even Hawaii. The captain enjoys fishing and loves watching people catch fish. He hopes to see you on the water soon. He and his six other captains will make sure you have fun while fishing.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
