Before booking

What an Alabama charter trip covers

Saltwater anglers 16 and older carry an Alabama saltwater license ($30.90 resident, $66.80 nonresident for 2026-27), plus the $10 Gulf Reef Fish Endorsement to keep reef fish such as red snapper.

Ask the captain whether the boat’s license covers passengers and whether reef fish such as red snapper are open on the trip date; the MRD season page lists the 2026 dates.
