How booking a charter works with us:

• First, Ask how many people in your group want to go deep sea fishing? We carry as few as 1 person and and a maximum of 6. It does not matter how old the person is and if they don't want to fish, 6 people is the maximum we can carry for charter. We don't match you up with other people in order to fill spaces. It is too hard to get enough calls to get everyone together on the same date.

• Decide how long you want to go fishing for. We specialize in 4 and 6 hour trips. Longer trips are $200 per hour plus tip. The 6 hour trip is the best trip for the investment.

• Fill out the online reservation request and hit the submit button.

• We will contact you quickly, telling you if we have that date available for your trip. If we do not, we will ask you if you can go another date or in the afternoon of the day you requested. If you do not get an email from us, check your spam box for a response from distractioncharters at gmail dot com.

• Your trip is not reserved until we get a credit card number and expiration date on file. Reservations are a first come, first serve basis. The person who gives us the cc number first, gets the date, no matter who sent an email first. We take Visa, MC and American Express. We do not take Discover Card. You will need to call us at 251.975.8111 and give the cc number to us. As soon as we get your cc number, we will either call you or email you back, confirming your date. We do not take deposits or run your card. You pay the day of the trip.

• If paying by credit card, please bring the card with you on the trip. Do not leave it in the truck or car. Your fare is due before departure.

• The deckhand is to be paid in cash at the end of the trip and that rate is a minimum of 20% of the price of the charter. It is just like a waiter who serves groups of 6 or more. Generally, 20% of the price of the charter is customary.

Orange Beach Fishing T-Shirts

If you would like your very own Crew-T-Shirt, you may purchase them in the Dock Store at the Orange Beach Marina. The reason we do not keep them on the boat is because of the limited space we have for storage.
