Hudson Marina is located at 4575 South Wilson Blvd. Orange Beach, AL 36561. It began as a Charter Boat Fishing Marina. It has always been family-owned. The harbor catered to private 6-pack charter fishermen who rented wet slips to run their business out of. Everyday was packed with Red Snapper, fish cleaning, and boat captains. After Hurricane Ivan, a large part of the marina got destroyed, and had to be rebuilt. This was when the 300 foot pier was constructed. The new pier provided more space for our small marina to grow. We began by adding Jet ski’s and waverunners to rent in addition to going on a party boat fishing charter aboard the America II. After a few years, Pontoon boats and kayaks were added. Then came the paddle boat and the conversion of the American Star from a dolphin cruise boat to the new pirate ship cruise! This took an entire year of reconstruction from the hull of the boat up in order to make her resemble an exact replica of the Pinta, which cruised across the Atlantic Ocean back in the early 1900’s. With the success of bringing pirates to the island, parasailing aboard the Sky Pirate in the one and only jolly roger (skull and crossbone) parachute is now available! The newest addition is our dinner cruise boat which is expected to run on the Fridays and Saturdays for a more unique dinner in the Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Perdido Key, Fort Morgan area.
