Which Fishing Charter Is Right For You?
Some Fish Your Kids Catch, Are Bigger Than Usual!
The Distraction Charter Boat only offers private trips for 1 to 6 people. This means only you and your group will be on the charter boat during the trip. The price you pay for your charter is based on the number of hours you are wanting to go deep sea fishing.
Depending on the time of year you want to go fishing, we offer the following charter trips: Our most popular trips are 6 hour as well as a Full Day 10 Hour trip. Both of these trips are fun and allow you to catch fish. This full day trip can get you way off shore to do some deep water fishing for some unusual fish species. The longer the trip you book, the greater the opportunity for you to try and catch more species of fish. Our fishing rates are very competitive for boats our size. There is a direct correlation between the price of the trip, distance offshore and species of fish you can catch near Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
