Orange Beach's 2025 Snapper Season: June Through Mid-September
Lots of Opportunities to Hook Big Snapper on the Alabama Gulf Coast
Each summer, the federal red snapper season brings anglers from across the country to Orange Beach. This year's red snapper season opened in June and will run through the 15th of September. It's a good, long season, and this is prime time for deep sea fishing along the Alabama coastline.
Red snapper season is our busiest time of year: Charter boats fill up fast, especially on weekends and around holidays. That’s why it’s smart to reserve your trip early to secure the best dates and boat to accommodate your group and your travel plans. We'll be taking bookings as long as we have boats available, but we always advise acting fast to avoid disappointment.
