Offshore Fishing Charters with Fins and Family Fishing | Fishing | Private

Set sail from Foley, Alabama, into the rich bounty of the northern Gulf of Mexico with Fins and Family Fishing’s Private Six Hour State Waters Offshore Fishing Charter. This experience dives deep into offshore fishing just up to nine miles from shore, where one of the nation’s most extensive artificial reef programs sets the stage for a high-adrenaline day casting lines in pristine saltwater. From artificial reefs to oil rigs, wrecks, sandbars, and natural bottoms, this charter offers diverse fishing grounds where robust species gather and challenge anglers of all skill levels.

Foley’s offshore waters teem with life year-round, making it a hotspot for seasoned fishermen and novices alike. The region’s man-made and natural structures act as underwater magnets for prized gamefish such as Red Snapper, Triggerfish, and sharks. Spring brings the return of Spanish and King Mackerel, while summer heats up with the appearance of Mahi-Mahi, Bonita, and Amberjack, coinciding with the highly awaited Red Snapper season. Fall fishing mirrors these dynamics, with migratory pelagic species offering an exciting finale. Winter cools the action but still delivers with Redfish trolling and limited Amberjack opportunities.

Captains licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard lead each private charter, offering expert guidance, full fishing gear, bait, licenses, and fish cleaning services. The trip strikes a perfect balance of family-friendly fun and serious sportfishing, supported by light and heavy tackle to test angler skills. With its prime location, knowledgeable crew, and access to some of Alabama’s richest offshore ecosystems, Fins and Family Fishing anchors itself as a standout provider in Gulf Coast outdoor recreation.

Whether you’re targeting trophy catches or simply savoring the salt air and Gulf views, this charter delivers an authentic saltwater fishing adventure that’s difficult to match elsewhere along the southern U.S. coast.
