    Even though is was very windy and fishing conditions were challenging, we had a great time with Captain Rick and Jonathan. We caught some very nice bull reds, and had fun fishing with the smaller rod. We definitely plan to go again.

    Richard B. with Corey B. of Galveston, Texas

    Diego R. with Corey B. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    I wanted to take a moment to share my recent fishing experience with anyone who will listen. During my trip, I had the pleasure of being guided by Corey, who I must say was by far the best guide I have ever encountered. Corey's knowledge and expertise not only extended to the fish and the area, but also to boats in general. Within minutes of conversing with him, I felt like I had known him for years. His ability to make me feel comfortable and at ease was truly remarkable. To top it all off, Corey helped me catch the biggest fish I've ever caught! His professionalism, respectfulness, and sense of humor made the trip both enjoyable and memorable. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate him a solid 10 without hesitation. I highly recommend Corey's services to everyone, from seasoned fishermen to novices. Even my wife, who isn't a big fan of fishing, was thoroughly impressed with Cory and his exceptional service. I had initial doubts about today's trip, but thanks to Corey, it turned out to be an incredible experience.

    Eric F. with Corey B. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Houston was always quick to respond to text and emails as was captain experiences. However we had Captain Bobby and his deck hand "Boots". Two super good guys and their handling of our excursion only made us want to go again. Our family was 10 and half us spent most of our four hour trip nauseated from the rough waters and these two gentlemen were very attentive to the people. We appreciated this greatly. We would overwhelmingly recommend this trip and crew. Boots cleaned our catch and recommended a restaurant that would cook it for us We took his advice and were not disappointed. They helped us have a great family vacation highlighted by this fishing trip. Thanks guys!!

    Miguel R. with Houston F. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Awesome experience as always. Great Captain and knowledgeable deck hand. He pulled a jelly fish out of the ocean so my 6 year old nephew could get a closer look.

    Darryl R. with Houston F. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    We did a 1/2 day trip with Captain Todd and Jonathan and they worked hard to get us on the fish and they delivered. They took care of everything. We ended up taking our fish to the Huli Huli Hut at their recommendation and they prepared our fish three different ways with loads of sides. Excellent recommendation by the crew. Highly recommend.

    Matt D. with Houston F. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Outstanding trip!! Captain and deck hand know their stuff!! Highly recommend!!

    James H. with Michael R. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Michael was a complete professional and knew what he was doing. Handled everything that was thrown at him from my inexperience to my tantrum having 5yr old. Helped my son catch his first fish and my son is already wanting to go back despite melting on the boat. Can't wait to go again!
