Orange Beech area <Alabama>

Sorry, it's the 2015. I remember seeing yours on boattrader. I really liked it especially with all the upgrades and the price was right. I just had to have a 2015 when I researched them. I liked the flags, are you going to put them on your new one. If you do let me know how you attach them.

No need to be sorry, you made a great choice with the 2015! Yes the Flags will return - I will most likely do a DIY on them this time when I add to new boat. Thanks!

Please, feel free to keep adding pics of the Orange Beach area! Ammo to convince my wife to bring the boat down next time.


We love Lulu's! Stop there everytime we're in town.View attachment 19940

You won't regret bringing your boat. Little Lagoon in Gulf Shores is shallow and clear in most places, our boats are perfect for it. We tube and kneeboard there, Little Lagoon also has an outlet to the gulf. The owner of Lulu's is Lulu Buffet, Jimmy Buffett's sister. An Acme Oyster House opened last year across the Inter-coastal from Lulu's.

My cousin is originally from Baton Rouge and loves LSU. I will show him your old boat. He just bought a 190 and will want to do that mod. His wife is a Bama fan so one of them will be a house divided flag.

Next time you're in town try King Neptunes, it's right across the street from the zoo. They serve fresh local seafood and the gumbo is outstanding. It's not as crowded as most restaurants in the area.

DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY go by Pirate's Cove. Live music, great bushwackers, and a swimming area for the kids. Also pet friendly. There's dogs all over the place.

Another great spot (with even better bushwackers), is just north of Robinson island. It's the TIKI HUT. Literally just north of the island, you can see it from there. Again live music, dogs allowed outside, and you can parasail from that location as well.

Cool my aunt has a small house on canal rd. That's were we stayed, I was just thinking about renting a dock for the week and leave the boat in the water. Lulu's or the wharf, somewhere close to her house.

@chadweiser - another spot to get to is Fishers at the Orange Beach Marina. Leave the kids with the family, take wife for a nice sunset cruise and then upscale dining. Wonderful food and great service. About $40-50/person. Maybe she won't say too much the next time you spend a little too much on the boat.

That sounds good, we thought about renting a dock at orange beach marina just to have easy access to the boat at anytime. Thanks for the info !

We'll be launching around 11:00 in the morning in the ICW. We are stopping at Pirates Cove for lunch and then the island.

 

[RiverRat]

Keep this thread going. It will definitely help build my case for the wife that we need to bring the boat down there next time!

 

[skbishop90]

We are launching then too and eating there too!!

Every year my family has a "family reunion" in either Pensacola or Gulf Shores (close to Fort Morgan ferry this year). In previous years we decided not to take our boat as it was smaller and figuring out how to evenly split up the time and family members just was too much. We just upgraded a few weeks ago to an AR240 so space shouldn't be too much of a problem and now I'm having serious thoughts of taking the boat this year. I haven't reached my 10 hours yet but believe that shouldn't be a problem before we go. Never taken a boat to Gulf Shores but this thread (and the Bimini thread) have me seriously considering for this year. If I don't pull the trigger this year then absolutely will next year. Looks like all the waterways and bay areas would be real fun to explore and cruise.

@Edward - come on over!! I promise you won't be disappointed. Great food, beautiful water, plenty of places to go hide and do all your skiing/tubing.

 

[skbishop90]

@pirates cove! Got three dogs on a 19' boat. I probably should've rethought this. Haha
