Charter with captain Vlad was an awesome experience! He worked hard and put us on the fish! Most importantly he did a fantastic job navigating unexpected rough waters, giving us a safe trip back. I will be going again! -

We booked a trip with Vlad and can honestly say it’s been the best charter I’ve been on. When we walked up to the marina there was a boat that stood out above the rest. I told my buddies I sure hope it was the one we were going in and sure enough, it was. His boat is extremely well kept, clean, and very safe. His deckhand for the day, Jason, was on top of things the entire time. We were on the fish the moment we got out to the first location and almost limit out within an hour. We limit out with plenty of time left. Can’t emphasize how clean they kept the boat the entire trip. This was the smoothest trip offshore and back, hands down. I’d highly recommend it to anyone wanting to have a great time offshore. -

Capt. Vlad and MSC Charters are top notch! He got us on the fish in a hurry. Mates Wynn and Jason stole the show and kept us in the strike zone all night. The blackfins were flying over the rail! Even diced up some fresh sashimi for late night snacks. 100% recommend a trip for anyone with these guys! -

We booked a Tuna trip out of Pensacola and the night before the CAPT canceled. We called around the next day and were about to give up when Capt Vlad from MSC fishing called and rearranged his schedule to get us on a 24hr Tuna trip. Everything about this trip was awesome. The Freeman boat is one of the smoothest boat’s you will ever ride on and the boat was very clean. Fishing equipment was some of the best money can buy. The crew Capt Vlad, Jason, and Win were the best. We boated 38 black fin Tuna and a barracuda. We probably hooked 50 or more but the sharks, dolphins, and barracuda took there taxes. This was hands down the best fishing trip in my life. If you’re looking for the best book with MSC fishing. -

100% recommend. The boat was very nice and impressive. Captain Vlad is the coolest dude. He worked hard to make sure we caught some monsters. He is very knowledgeable and has great advice for inexperienced fishers and experts. Any charter can take you out and get you some fish but having a cool captain is nice since you might have to spend 10+hours with them. -

Captain Vlad is the man! He’s an awesome fisherman and great teacher. His overnight charter was by far the best guided trip I’ve been on. I will definitely be fishing with him again!

Should You Target Tuna or Swordfish on a Gulf Shores Fishing Charter?
Gulf Shores anglers face a choice that matters more than most realize. Tuna or swordfish? It's not just about what bites—it's about what kind of fight you're ready for, how much patience you've got, and whether you want chaos or calculated risk. Both species swim these waters. Both will test your gear and your nerve. But they're not interchangeable, and treating them like they are is how trips go sideways. So here's what we know. Tuna fishing is speed and volume. Swordfishing ...
How Far Offshore Do Fishing Charters Travel from Gulf Shores?
Most anglers think offshore fishing is just about getting away from the dock. But the distance you travel matters more than you'd expect — and if you don't understand what that means for your trip, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. The Gulf of Mexico doesn't hand out trophy fish at the shoreline. You've got to earn them. And that starts with knowing how far you need to go, what you're chasing, and whether your charter is built to get you there. Here's ...
Planning a Multi Day Offshore Fishing Trip in Gulf Shores
Most anglers think offshore trips are just about showing up with a cooler and some sunscreen. Bait the hook, reel it in, call it a day. But the Gulf of Mexico doesn't care about your optimism — and if you're not prepared, you're in for a rough ride. Multi-day offshore fishing charters demand more than enthusiasm. They require planning, the right gear, and a clear understanding of what you're walking into before the dock lines come off. So here's the reality. If you're heading ...
