What Sets Us Apart Is Simple...
The Charter boat Intimidator is unique in the aspect that we can offer anglers a chance to experience a great fishing trip in the hands of some of the most knowledgeable, experienced operators and mates in the charter fleet along the Gulf of Mexico. There is no cantankerous, old salt, bus-driver style, captain here; we are "G" rated and family oriented with all members of the crew having kids and families of their own.
It makes no difference, if you are part of a group of seasoned anglers or a small family that is looking to go deep-sea fishing as we book hundreds of fishing charter trips a year and we are glad to answer all of your questions directly via email, text message or phone. We are a local, family owned and operated fishing business and it will not take you long to realize that this is the right place for your family or group. We normally operate with an 80% base of repeat clientèle that is unmatched anywhere and we take pride in our yacht, the trips that we run, but more importantly we realize that without you on the boat, we may not get to go fishing at all. However, once you fish with us you will be back time and time again!

Morgan. This local paradise has many luxury hotels and condos through out the area for rent or purchase so, you will find a places to stay for all budgets, whether its for a week or a lifetime!.
Many different types of charter fishing trips for you to choose from in Gulf Shores
We offer many different types of fishing trips to you. the most popular trips are the 4 and 6 hour charters currently but we are still doing the longer trips offshore when time and weather will allow. However, we still provide lots of action for the anglers that are out to have fun and catch some fish.
If you want to catch and release all of your fish as many people do, perhaps keep just a few for supper, or keep your days bounty, then you will find comfort in knowing that we have been voted the best multi passenger charter fishing operation in town and have many tournament wins. We use only the very best tackle and are Pro-staff for Braid Products and Penn reelsWe also use other high quality products from companies such as, Shimano Reels, Daiwa Reels and custom hand crafted fishing rods from J&M Tackle and the Rod Room.
The vacation packages start with our family or corporate entertainment oriented 4 hour trolling trips and the 6 hour bottom fishing trips. But we offer longer trips such as the popular 12 hour deep sea fishing trip. If a day trip is not quite long enough to feed your offshore fishing desires, then look to our overnight deep sea fishing expeditions to the deep blue water. You can try your hand at maybe catching a big swordfish, yellow-fin tuna, wahoo, dolphin (Mahi-Mahi) and perhaps a blue or white marlin. For years now, overnight fishing trips have been our specialty; running up to 80 of these trips a year.
although our prices are based on 10 people, you do not have to have 10 to charter the boat. I have many customers that will just bring 6 or maybe 8 people as they like the extra room. If you do have a large group we can fish up to 20 anglers on day trips and sleep up to 10 people individual bunks down in the v-berth for the longer overnight fishing trips. If you are interested in our evening cruises or an Eco-tour, we can accommodate up to 46 passengers.

Where will we be fishing and what will we catch along the Alabama Gulf Coast.
The bottom of the sea floor near Gulf Shores is flat and mostly comprised of sand, silt and mud. Along the emerald shores we have the best and largest artificial reef fishing program in the entire Gulf of Mexico or perhaps anywhere in the United States. With over 20,000 private and public artificial fishing reefs that encompass over 1,200 square miles of water available for us to fish there is no wonder why people have come back here for years! Along with the artificial reef system, there is also a great deal of natural bottom, and oil rigs that hold reef fish and migratory pelagic fish which are located further offshore. The Northern Gulf of Mexico supplies some of the best fishing anywhere in the United States with the Alabama Gulf Coast providing the finest fishing fleet to be found.
