Deep Sea Fishing & Boating in Orange Beach, Alabama: A Way of Life on the Gulf Coast
By Meredith Amon, Licensed in Alabama and Florida
There’s something about watching the sun rise over the Gulf of Mexico while the bow of your boat cuts a glassy trail toward open water. As a real estate advisor and full-time resident of Ono Island, I don’t just help people find homes—I help them live the boating and fishing lifestyle that defines Orange Beach and the surrounding Gulf Coast.
At www.searchthegulf.com, I work with homeowners and buyers who crave this lifestyle. Whether you’re searching for a deep water dock, a boat lift-ready canal front lot, or a luxury home minutes from Zeke’s Landing Marina or Orange Beach Marina, boating isn’t just a bonus feature—it’s the centerpiece.
Why Deep Sea Fishing in Orange Beach is So Popular
Orange Beach is one of the premier deep sea fishing destinations in the U.S. We’re nestled on the edge of one of the most fertile fisheries in the Gulf, with artificial reefs and natural ledges attracting everything from red snapper and amberjack to tuna, mahi-mahi, and marlin.
Some of the most iconic charters launch from:
-
Zeke’s Landing Marina
-
SanRoc Cay
-
Orange Beach Marina
-
Fort Morgan Marina
Whether you're trolling for king mackerel or heading offshore for a full-day swordfish trip, captains here know these waters better than anyone. And if you're looking to stay inshore, speckled trout, flounder, and redfish are plentiful in the bays and backwaters.
The Boating Culture is Our Pulse
If you’re new to the area, you’ll quickly see that boating isn’t seasonal here—it’s a year-round passion. Most waterfront communities, like Ono Island, Bear Point, and Terry Cove, are designed with boaters in mind.
Our marinas aren’t just for tourists—they’re part of our daily rhythm. Locals dock at the Wharf for a bite, cruise down Ole River at sunset, or take weekend runs over to Fort McRee or Crab Island. From center consoles to sportfishers, you’ll see a little bit of everything tied up in our slips.

Real Estate Insights for Boaters
As someone who’s spent over 20 years in real estate, I know the value of a protected canal, a strong seawall, or a lift that can handle a 40' boat. If you’re buying a home in Orange Beach or Ono Island, I’ll help you match the property with your vessel—because not every home suits every hull.
I also work closely with local builders and marine contractors to advise on dock permitting, dredging, and lift installation. Many buyers overlook the importance of water depth, canal width, and bridge clearance—until it’s too late.
Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
Planning a Fishing Trip? Here’s My Local Tip:
Call the captain directly. Many of the best trips aren’t advertised. Leave a voicemail—chances are, they’re on the water. And if you want a recommendation for a captain or boat that suits your style, just email me at meredith@searchthegulf.com—I’d love to help.
