About

Dauphin Island, Alabama, is the base for Captain Mikes Deep Sea Fishing, a family-operated charter fishing business offering offshore, bluewater, inshore, and bay trips. This is not a conventional boat rental operation: guests book walk-on spaces or private charters with a captain for trips ranging from shorter outings to multiday fishing. The fleet includes the Lady Ann and Escape, plus six-passenger sportfishers and center consoles for deep sea, inshore, and bay fishing.

Groups can select vessels suited to their party size, with the two larger boats able to accommodate groups over six passengers. The Escape offers air conditioning, navigation electronics, radio, a bathroom with shower, and onboard food and drink equipment for longer days on the water. Walk-on options can suit individual anglers or smaller groups, while private charters serve larger parties. Contact Captain Mikes Deep Sea Fishing to arrange a guided fishing trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included with a rental at Captain Mikes Deep Sea Fishing?

Rentals from Captain Mikes Deep Sea Fishing include safety equipment, fishing gear, GPS navigation and an onboard restroom. Amenities vary by boat and by season, so confirm what comes with the boat you book.

How old do you have to be to rent a boat in Alabama?

Alabama’s minimum age for unsupervised operation is 14 for a motorized vessel, including a personal watercraft, but rental eligibility is set separately by the rental operator. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency says no one under 12 may operate a motorized vessel. An operator age 12 or 13 must first obtain a vessel operator’s license and may operate only with someone 21 or older onboard who also has a vessel operator’s license in possession and is seated in a position to take immediate control if necessary. Operators 14 or older must have their certification or license in possession. Confirm the rental operator’s minimum age when booking.

Do you need a boating license in Alabama?

Yes. Alabama generally requires motorized vessel operators, including personal watercraft operators, to carry a vessel operator certification or license. No one under 12 may operate. Licensed 12 and 13 year olds need a licensed operator age 21 or older aboard and positioned to take control; licensed operators 14 or older may operate alone. Nonresidents need valid home state or country certification, or Alabama nonresident certification.

Renters may operate without certification after safe operation instruction from the rental business if their operating privilege is not suspended or revoked. Thirty day exemptions cover qualifying new boat owners and new Alabama residents. Those born before April 28, 1954 are exempt from the exam, not certification. ALEA Marine Patrol administers the program.

What are the best places to go boating in Alabama?

The best places to boat in Alabama are Mobile Bay on the coast, Lake Guntersville in the north, and the Coosa River reservoir chain through eastern and central Alabama. Mobile Bay offers estuary water beside the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and Alabama’s Gulf Coast. Lake Guntersville is a major Tennessee River impoundment with extensive water for boating and fishing. On the Coosa River, six dams create a chain of reservoirs, including Weiss Lake in northeastern Alabama and Lake Jordan near Montgomery. Together, these regions offer bays, delta channels, large reservoirs, rivers and connected lake systems.
