In August of 2025, I took a quiet moment to capture a video at Zeke’s Marina in Orange Beach. This image still feels as soothing as the day I was standing there. The water was calm, the sky a clear summer blue, and lined up along the docks were some of the most beautiful fishing boats you’ll ever see.
Looking at this photo, you can almost hear the gentle slap of the water against the hulls. These aren’t just ordinary boats — they are offshore sportfishing vessels, built for strength, comfort, and long runs out into the Gulf. Most are in the 40- to 60-foot range, with tall tuna towers rising high above their decks. The towers give captains a better vantage point offshore, perfect for spotting billfish or schools of tuna. Their wide beams provide stability, while deep-V hulls are designed to cut smoothly through Gulf waters. Many are equipped with outriggers, fighting chairs, and cabins that make them as much floating homes as fishing machines.
The appeal of boats like these goes beyond just the thrill of reeling in a marlin or yellowfin. They represent freedom, adventure, and a lifestyle that so many of my neighbors and friends in Orange Beach embrace. Spending time at Zeke’s Marina, you see firsthand why Orange Beach is a boater’s paradise. Between the deep-sea fishing charters, the calm back bays, and the proximity to the open Gulf, there is truly something for every boating enthusiast here.
What struck me most as I filmed this scene was how peaceful it felt. The boats were docked side by side, flags waving in the soft breeze, waiting for their next trip offshore. For many, Zeke’s isn’t just a marina — it’s a gathering place, a hub of the Orange Beach lifestyle where locals and visitors alike prepare for unforgettable days on the water.
When I share images like this, I’m reminded of how lucky we are to live in such a place. Whether you’re dreaming of owning a boat slip, a waterfront condo, or a coastal home with boating amenities, Orange Beach offers endless opportunities to embrace the water-driven lifestyle.
