Went out with some family and friends chartered two boats for a half day. had a awsome time catching snapper, flounder, and grouper. But the real treat was when i landed a big red fish. This fish fought more than any thing I've ever cought.

Great time at Zekes!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/07/09
I went out with this charter company and must say it was a very enjoyable experience! We went out on a shared expense trip and had the time of our life. I recommend this marina, everyone was so friendly. The staff in the charter office was extremely helpful and pleasant. This was our first deep sea excursion so we didn't know where to start,the ...

Find another fleet to fish with !!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/23/09
The office staff is nothing but ticket takers. don't expect any useful information by phone;in person is not much better. This was our 3rd trip with the fleet in 2 years. All 3 trips were different boats but all had captains with short tempers and quiet mates. We go to have fun not try out for the Deadliest Catch.
Spend your money at another charter service that wants your business not just your money.

Distraction Charters is the best!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/27/08
If you want good service, fun and catch fish, you will surely ask for and pick the Distraction at Zeke's in Orange Beach. Capt. Troy and Lem are absolutely awesome. They asked us what we wanted to to and then gave us some options. When you have grandkids like I do, it is important to try and keep them entertained. My grandson Will went ...
I have been coming to Zeks for the past 3 years and I store my Grady White (Ms. Gizmo) there and I have always had the best service by friendly honest people. Zek's is the best Marina in the area and clean with great dinning. The Charters are go for the value and the best captains on the Gulf Coast.
We went out on the Zeke's Lady party boat. I've been on several party boats, so I had some basis for comparison. The ticket with a 4-hour party boat trip is SPEED...everything needs to happen quickly to get a moderate amount of fishing time. This didn't happen with the Lady. The captain was 10-minutes late, and then decided the ...

Request the Getaway
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/12/06
If you want a fun fishing trip or family outing, ask for the Getaway. They can carry up to 6 passengers, and the captain and friendly deckhand really work hard to give you a good time. We have fished with these guys several times and always had a good experience.

wouldn't fish on the shady lady again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/19/06
Fishing was poor and deck hand had irritable attitude. We've fished from this dock before and had a great time, but the experience this time lacked professionalism.

Dining experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/12/05
We were somewhat satisfied with the food, salad was great. Prices were somewhat high. We had other meals that were as good for about half of the price. What we disliked about this place the most was our table was seated next to the area where they bring all of the fish in and clean them. Make sure you ask not to be seated in this area if you have a weak stomach.
