Our Story
Nestled in the heart of Orange Beach, Alabama, and docked at Zeke's Marina, Deep South Charters has been creating epic Gulf of Mexico fishing adventures for over 6 years. We're passionate about the thrill of the catch and the beauty of these emerald waters, where the whitest sandy beaches meet the endless horizon.
What sets us apart is our commitment to family. Kids are welcome — life jackets and patience included! We keep things fun, safe, and stress-free. No fishing experience required. Our crew provides hands-on guidance for beginners, turning first-timers into lifelong anglers.
At Deep South Charters, we're more than a charter service — we're your gateway to unforgettable family bonding on the open sea. Join hundreds of satisfied customers who've reeled in memories (and fish!) that last a lifetime.
Meet the Crew
Captain Jeb Brantley
Captain & Owner
With over 20 years of experience fishing the Gulf of Mexico, Captain Jeb knows every reef, wreck, and hotspot off the Alabama coast. A lifelong local, he grew up on these waters and turned his passion into a career. Jeb specializes in targeting red snapper, triggerfish, amberjack, and sharks — and he's just as excited as you are when that rod bends. USCG licensed and dedicated to safety, Jeb makes sure every trip is both productive and memorable.
Spencer
First Mate & Deckhand
Spencer is the hardest-working deckhand on the dock. From rigging baits and netting fish to helping first-timers learn the ropes, Spencer keeps the deck running smooth so you can focus on fishing. Whether it's untangling a line or unhooking a shark, he's always got a smile on his face and a helpful hand ready. Great with kids and new anglers alike.
