Escape

The Escape is a 65-foot Bonner party fishing boat departing from the Charter Boat Dock at Dauphin Island Marina in Dauphin Island, Alabama. Family-owned with over 50 years of experience, Captains King Marchand and Skipper Thierry run offshore bottom fishing trips and multi-day bluewater expeditions from March through November.

8-hour bottom fishing trips depart at 8 AM, heading to reefs up to 25 miles offshore to target Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Triggerfish, Grouper, Amberjack, King Mackerel, and Spanish Mackerel. Walk-on bluewater 2-night trips push far offshore for Tuna, Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, and Swordfish, with a maximum of 11 anglers.

Fishing licenses, bait, and tackle are included on all trips. Private charters are available in 8, 10, and 12-hour options for up to 28 passengers, with overnight combo trips for up to 11. The vessel features cold A/C, a restroom with hot-water shower, flat-screen satellite TV, Sirius Radio, a Big Green Egg grill, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. Children under 12 and military receive a $10 discount on walk-on trips.
