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. -

Had the best fishing trip on one of the nicest offshore boats money can buy. Landed lots of different fish including wahoo, cobia, mahi, and tuna. -

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! -

The most hospital and knowledgeable Captain I have ever had the privilege to know. We caught so many different fish and he taught us so much. Thanks Vlaud! You’re a great man! -

Only great things to say about Captain Vlad and MSC Fishing Charters! Went on a 12 hour tuna trip and everything was a great experience! The vibes and knowledge made this an easy 5 star trip. Don’t even think about it. BOOK THE TRIP . Oh we caught 5 tuna and a mix of other fish -

Vlad took my 15 year old out yesterday and his review is "it was a lot of fun and I caught a huge fish"! They went out looking for yellow fin, but ended up with some monster Wahoo and about 400 bait fish! He caught a giant 75#, 60ish incher and was exhausted after, but said after 5 minutes of recovery...it was awesome! I was nervous sending him out for 12 hours, 80-100 miles off-shore, but Vlad made sure he was taken care of and had everything he needed... and caught a fish! Couldn't have asked for a better experience! -

If you want to catch anything go with these guys! Cpt. Vlad Adrian and Cpt. Ken Tompkins did an outstanding job. Our goal was to catch some big tuna and boy they didn’t disappoint. We ranged from 90-130lbs. Our grand total for the day….NINE TUNAS!!! This was my first deep sea fishing trip and I absolutely loved it! Will definitely be going every trip now. Its an experience like no other even if we didn’t catch anything. -

Captain Vlad really goes above and beyond to provide the best experience for his client! In his 37ft Freeman we fished in comfort all day from sunrise to sunset! Captain Vlad kept us fishing for the full 12 hour trip unlike most captains include the trip from the dock to the spot as part of your 12 hours. I’ve been on many charters and can say captain Vlad is the real deal and I wouldn’t hesitate to go with him again! -

We went on a 12-hour trip with MSC, and it was such a refreshing experience. We had an amazing time—and here’s why! We fish full-time for a living as content creators, traveling the world to fish and film. Over the years, we’ve been on countless charters—some great, some not so great. And when a trip hasn’t been great, it’s usually not because the captain was bad—it’s often because they’re exhausted from running trips day after day. Sometimes you can just tell they don’t really want to be out there, but they have to be. With MSC, it was the complete opposite. Captain Vlad had a great attitude all day long and truly went above and beyond on our 12-hour trip. We caught yellowfin tuna, amberjack, and about six other species. The 37 Freeman boat we were on is one of the best in its class, so even if the water is rough, you’ll be comfortable. But here’s what really stood out: Captain Vlad doesn’t run charters because he has to—he runs them because he wants to. He has other successful businesses, but his passion for fishing led him to start running charters simply out of love for the sport. That’s rare. This doesn’t mean other captains are bad, but it was the first time we’ve seen a captain with such a genuine love for fishing that he wanted to share it with others—even though he didn’t need to. That makes all the difference. If you want a trip where the captain is out there because they want to be, not because they have to, you’ll have a great time with MSC. Huge thanks to Captain Vlad and the MSC team for an unforgettable, refreshing day on the water! -

Second time out on this charter and they didn’t disappoint again! Every trip we’ve pulled in some pretty big fish — this time was no different with, yellowfin, and amberjack hitting the deck. Always a 10/10 experience. Dropping some photos below so y’all can see the haul for yourself! Plus he vacuumed sealed our fish which was very nice of them. First time I ever seen a charter do that.

Is an Overnight Tuna Trip in Gulf Shores Right for You?
Most anglers think offshore fishing is just about the catch. Hook something big, snap a photo, call it a day. But an overnight tuna run in Gulf Shores? That's a different animal. You're not just fishing — you're committing to hours in open water, miles from shore, with nothing but the crew and the Gulf between you and whatever's lurking below. If you're not ready for that, you're asking for a rough night. So here's the reality. If you're chasing yellowfin or blackfin and you want the real deal, overnight is where ...

How to Target Tuna on an Alabama Charter Without Chumming
Most anglers think chumming is the only way to pull tuna in close. Throw bait, wait for the frenzy, hook up. But the Gulf doesn't require that mess — and if you're relying on it, you're missing half the game. Tuna off Alabama's coast are aggressive, opportunistic, and constantly on the move. They don't need a chum slick to bite. They need the right presentation at the right time. So here's the reality. If you're booking a charter to chase yellowfin or blackfin, you don't need buckets of cut bait stinking up the deck. You need sharp eyes, fast reflexes, and ...

What Makes the Freeman 37VH Ideal for Offshore Fishing in the Gulf
Gulf fishing isn't for boats that can't handle the real work. You need something that cuts through chop without beating you senseless, covers distance without draining the tank, and gives you room to actually fish when you get there. The Freeman 37VH checks those boxes — and then some. Its ventilated catamaran hull isn't just marketing speak. It's engineering that matters when you're thirty miles out and the forecast changes. Most offshore rigs look good at the dock. The 37VH proves itself when conditions turn. That's the difference between a boat you trust and ...
