Our family had a blast with Captain Conner! He was so kid friendly for our three boys and helped create a very memorable experience for everyone! We would 100% use this service again for a future fishing trip…our boys are already asking when we can go again.

Captain Lance gave us the shark trip of a lifetime! From the moment we got on the boat, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a great time. We ended up catching some big stingrays and several awesome sharks, and every fight had us pumped. Captain Lance worked hard to keep us on fish and was always willing to help, answer questions, and make sure we had the best experience possible. If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water and want a real shot at catching some monsters, I can’t recommend Captain Lance enough. We’ll definitely be booking another trip with him. Thanks again for making it such an incredible experience!

My son an I went out with Captain Bobby and had a great time. It was my son’s birthday and Bobby made sure we had an excellent experience. He was pleasant and patient. He took us to several spots where we had the chance to catch all species of fish. My son and I both agreed that if we were to come back to Galveston we would definitely book another charter with Captain Bobby…… First class captain and human being

Great experience with Pedro, caught many species of fish by the jetties, then we went after sharks and we hooked 2, one 4ft black tip (amazing areal show) but broke my lines, then a hammer head that was 6ft plus but broke out line right at the boat, all in all great outing.
