Riptide Fishing Charters is your key to the finest angling in and around Orange Beach, Alabama. The company is operated by an aggressive fisherman who knows the local waters like the back of his hand. Whether you are an amateur or a seasoned pro, Captain Seth Wilson will take care of you.

Come and enjoy a day of fishing in the sun on the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Troll the nearshore waters for King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Wahoo, and Tuna. Head to the rock bottom up to 500ft for Snapper and Amberjack. Check the bite in the Gulf for Red Snapper, Grouper, Triggerfish, and who knows what else? If it swims and can bite a hook, the crew will catch it. It's as simple as that!

Just hop onboard the 'Rip Tide', a 45' Resmondo custom boat. Her twin 400 HP Detroit Diesel engines will power you to the hottest grounds in the area. The Rip Tide provides plenty of fishing space for up to 18 anglers.

The Rid Tide is fully outfitted with navigational and fish finding electronics, including a Furuno GPS, a fish finder, a VHF radio, and a radar. She features a flybridge to spot any action going on beneath the surface, as well as an air-conditioned cabin. There is also a fighting chair on board for those who are up to a challenge, a toilet for your maximum comfort, and many other professional tools and accessories. All aboard!

If you have a fishing technique you would like to try, just let your captain know. You will be provided with licenses, bait, tackle, and ice. If you have favorite rod and reel, feel free to bring it.

The fish cleaning service and a tip for the deckhand are not included in the price

The Rip Tide is docked at Zekes Marina.

Rough Waters didn't stop us
6 Hour – Trolling/Bottom Summer on March 31, 20268 adults1 child
9 of us went out to catch some fish. the water was rough but Captain Seth got us out to where we needed to be. Gage wa a busy man because we were all catching fish that day. We had so much fish we ended up giving two gallon ziplock bags filled to Gage and we still took home 4 bags . Great experience would do it again.

Worth the trip!
4 Hour Trip - Trolling (PM) on July 27, 20257 adults
We booked a 4 hr trip for the family. We are so grateful for Seth and Gage! It was a family trip…everybody caught fish…our 13 year old caught two huge amber jacks…the rest of us caught king and Spanish mackerel. Our boys were talking before we even got off the boat about coming back on their next break! Our 16 year old told his little brother, “this has been the most boring funnest summer ever”, said it was the most fun because of the fishing trip. Anybody who has teens knows that is a compliment! Gage worked his butt off and Seth made sure we went where there were fish. We will definitely be booking them again!!!

Great time
8hr SS Bottom Fishing & Trolling on June 17, 20258 adults
Captain Seth and deckhand (Gage) were great. Gage was a busy man. We had some rain and a persistent thief (porpoise) of bait. We caught the limit on snapper fairly quickly and did some trolling. Seems like everyone got a chance to reel a fish in from trolling. My best part was the catch & release of an amberjack (fun fight). We must have did ok based on the reaction on the dock at the end when taking fish pictures (they all seem to like the king mackerel). Overall, it was a great family experience that my kids will remember for a long time. Definitely would recommend.

The Captain knows where to find the fish! We jumped from spot to spot catching fish fast. If we stopped and the fishing wasn’t great he did waste time moving to the next location. The deckhand stayed busy the entire trip, keeping everyone’s line in the water. He made short work of cleaning the fish when we arrived back at the dock. All around great trip.
