Emerald Spirit

The Emerald Spirit is a 65-foot Bonner party fishing boat USCG certified for 75 passengers, departing from Sportsman Marina at Bayside Village in Orange Beach, Alabama. Powered by twin 600-horsepower Lugger engines and cruising at 19 knots, she carries 70 matching rods with 4/0 Penn reels and over 160 feet of walk-around deck rail space for comfortable fishing.

Captain George Pfeiffer brings over 45 years of offshore fishing experience and a USCG license spanning more than four decades. He builds his own artificial reefs to attract fish, giving the Emerald Spirit access to productive structure that other boats cannot reach. The combined crew experience exceeds 65 years.

Walk-on trips run 4 and 6 hours, heading into the Gulf of Mexico to target Red Snapper, Grouper, Vermilion Snapper, Triggerfish, Amberjack, King Mackerel, Cobia, and Mahi-Mahi depending on the season. Private 6-pack charters are available from 4 to 12 hours, including trolling, combo bottom and trolling, and extended overnight tuna trips.

All bait, tackle, rods, reels, and fishing licenses are included with your fare. The vessel features two 2.5-ton A/C and heating units, two restrooms with hot-water showers, a 900-pound daily ice machine, refrigerator, microwave, and a Green Egg grill on board. Fish cleaning is available at the dock.
