How do you contact this site?
By email, listed below. This is an independent guide, not a booking agent: no boats, no crew, no reservation system. It cannot book, change, cancel or refund a trip. The inbox is for questions, corrections and operator listings. For an actual charter, contact the operator directly.

What to get in touch about
Three things. It is worth being specific about them rather than leaving a bare address and hoping.
Corrections
This is the one that matters most. Regulations change, seasons open and close on short notice, marinas change hands, and general guidance goes stale without announcing itself. If something on this site is wrong, out of date, or misleading — particularly if you fish or work out of Gulf Shores or Orange Beach and can see it plainly — that is worth an email. Point at the page and say what is wrong. It gets fixed and the page gets a new date.
Operator listings
The charter operators page lists boats that publish an online booking link, and it is compiled from public sources rather than from anyone paying to appear. If you run a charter operation out of these marinas and are not listed, or are listed with details that have changed, get in touch. There is no fee for a listing and no fee to change one, because there is no advertising on this site to sell.
General questions
Questions about how to choose a trip, what the pages here mean, or where a figure came from are all fair. Most of the answer is probably already on what to expect or what to bring — but if it is not, that is useful to know, because it usually means a page is missing something.
If you are trying to book a charter
Booking, rescheduling, refunds, weather cancellations and what is included in a trip are all matters for the operator. If you have not booked yet, work out what you actually want first — start with deep sea fishing or compare half-day against full-day trips — then take that to an operator on the charter operators page.
No office, and no boats
There is an inbox, and there is no address, because those are different claims. Fishing Charters Gulf Shores is not a local business — it operates nothing in Gulf Shores and has no premises there. An email address reaches the person who writes the site; it does not put a dock, a boat or a reservation system behind him.
That is why it is offered for questions, corrections and listings rather than advertised as a way to book. If you write wanting a boat on Saturday, the honest answer will be to send you to an operator — so the page says that here instead of after you have waited on a reply.
About this site
