Clear private charter prices for families, first-time offshore anglers, experienced fishermen, couples, and groups of up to six passengers.
Fishing charter prices can be confusing because some trips are priced per person and others are priced for the entire boat.
Every Distraction Charters price shown on this page is for your entire private boat for up to 6 passengers. Your group does not share the boat with strangers.
All prices shown are in U.S. dollars.
You do not need to know which trip you need before looking at the prices. For most families and first-time offshore anglers, the 6 Hour Family Fun Trip is the best place to start.
Before comparing trip lengths, it helps to know what the charter price already includes.
Most families should start here. Six hours gives your group a complete private offshore fishing experience without committing the entire vacation day.
This is the trip most families choose for a good balance of offshore fishing, time, comfort, and cost.
The 6-hour trip is not the cheaper version of the 10-hour trip. It is a complete offshore fishing trip built for a different customer and a different time commitment.
If this is your first charter and you are unsure where to begin, begin here.
We try just as hard on every trip. Price and duration change the time, range, and flexibility available to us. They do not change the quality of our effort or guarantee bigger fish, more fish, or a particular species.
A shorter private fishing option for families with younger children, limited vacation time, or groups that simply prefer a shorter day.
Suggested Deckhand Gratuity: 300
Traditionally paid in cash. Venmo is available if needed.
Trip + Suggested Gratuity: 1,700
More time to reach additional fishing areas, stay with opportunities longer, or make another move when the day tells us the first plan is not working.
Suggested Deckhand Gratuity: 450
Traditionally paid in cash. Venmo is available if needed.
Trip + Suggested Gratuity: 2,650
Our longest fishing trip. A full fishing day for groups who want to give us considerably more time to travel, search, fish additional areas, and adjust as the day develops.
This trip is built for groups who want to devote most of the day to offshore fishing and give Captain Troy and Sam the most time and flexibility we offer.
Suggested Deckhand Gratuity: 600
Traditionally paid in cash. Venmo is available if needed.
Trip + Suggested Gratuity: 3,400
Payment: Pay for your trip at the boat by cash or major credit card. Please bring your card with you to the boat. We do not charge credit card processing fees. Suggested deckhand gratuity is separate from the trip price and is traditionally paid directly to the deckhand in cash. If cash is not available, Venmo may be used.
You are reserving the entire boat, Captain Troy, Sam, and the trip time for your private group of up to 6 passengers.
If this is your first time shopping for an Orange Beach fishing charter, two prices that look very different may not represent the same kind of trip.
Some fishing trips sell individual seats. Others are private. Boats also differ in size, comfort, equipment, trip length, fishing range, and what is included in the advertised price.
A shorter or less expensive charter may be exactly what some customers want. Other families prefer a private boat with an air-conditioned cabin, private restroom, patient instruction, and the ability to focus on one group.
The important thing is to understand what you are comparing before deciding which price makes sense for your family.
Longer trips use more boat time and fuel and can allow us to travel farther offshore.
You are not paying us to try harder. We fish hard on every trip.
More time simply gives Captain Troy and Sam more range, more places to fish, and more flexibility to make adjustments and let the day develop.
More time creates more opportunity. It does not create a guarantee.
For most families, a private fishing charter is a meaningful vacation purchase. Our job is to show you the real cost, explain what you are getting, and help you decide whether the experience makes sense for your group before you spend the money.
No. Every charter price shown on this page is for the entire private boat for your group of up to 6 passengers.
Yes. All charter prices and suggested gratuity amounts shown on this page are in U.S. dollars.
Your trip includes the private boat, captain and crew, fishing licenses, rods, reels, bait, tackle, fish cleaning, and bagging. The boat also has an air-conditioned cabin and clean private restroom.
No deposit is charged. Your card on file holds the date, similar to a hotel reservation. You pay at the boat on the day of your trip. Please bring your card with you.
No. Suggested deckhand gratuity is shown separately for each trip and is paid directly to the deckhand. Gratuity is traditionally paid in cash. If cash is not available, Venmo may be used.
No. We do not add surprise fuel surcharges or credit card processing fees.
Most families, children, first-time offshore anglers, grandparents, and mixed-experience groups should begin with the 6 Hour Family Fun Trip.
No. The 6 Hour Family Fun Trip is a complete offshore fishing trip built for a different customer and a different time commitment. The 10-hour trip gives us considerably more time, range, and flexibility.
Our 10 Hour Full Day Fishing Trip is our longest fishing trip. It gives Captain Troy and Sam the most time, range, and flexibility we offer to let the fishing day develop.
No. Longer trips provide more time and potential range, but they do not guarantee more fish, larger fish, a particular species, or a legal limit.
That is normal. Tell Captain Troy who is coming, your budget, your fishing experience, and what kind of day you hope to have. We will help you understand which trip makes the most sense before confirming anything.
If you know which trip you want, check available dates. If you are still unsure, send your request and tell Captain Troy what your group hopes to do. You do not have to figure it out by yourself.
