    We went out not knowing what to expect with rough waters. Mike found us some good spots and we caught plenty of fish - topped off with a 6ft Bull Shark. Great day out. Thanks Mike !!

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Robert and his First Mate Jason were very knowledgeable and professional. They kept us entertained while going from from one fishing spot to another. Captain Robert’s experience and knowledge of the Gulf help him to put us on the fish that we wanted to catch.on a scale of 1-10 he gets a solid 10. We will fish with him again.

    Captain Mike was incredible! I booked this fishing trip for my husband and brother in law as a surprise for Father’s Day and he was very patient and thorough with me. (I knew nothing about fishing). He is also very kind and his fishing skills are top tier! And best of all he definitely helped them catch some pretty nice size fish! We will definitely be booking Captain Mike again.

    Bill and Dylan were our guides. They did outstanding! We had a great time. They were both very attentive to the experienced and inexperienced people on our trip! We caught a ton of fish, and a few sharks. We appreciate all their hard work and would recommend the two of them for anyone's future fishing needs!

    Charles was a great guide. The bite was slow that day for everyone but he made the day so enjoyable for me and my father. He was very knowledgeable about the ecosystem and feeding habits of the fish. He helped cast for individuals who had trouble casting and gave tips on how to cook and prepare the fish we caught. We will be booking with Captain Charles again when we come back, highly recommend.

    Michael did an excellent job giving us opportunities to reel in a limit of trout. He put us into some sheltered areas to accomplish this due to turbulent waves in the bay. Great customer service. Michael’s experience led us to book with him.

    Oh, man, let me tell you about this fishing charter in Galveston. If you want an adventure on the high seas that rivals Moby Dick without the depressing ending, book a trip with Captain Sean and his first mate Abbie. These folks know their stuff. So, we start the day with my stepdad, bless his heart, hooking a stingray. Yeah, you read that right. He thought he was reeling in a sea monster. The water was choppy, and I was starting to think this was gonna be a long day of nothing but stories about the one that got away. But Captain Sean, the Gandalf of the Gulf, says, "Hold my beer," and finds us the perfect spot. The man’s a fish whisperer. I don't know how he does it. One minute, we’re fighting the waves, thinking we’re gonna spend the day swapping sea shanties, and the next, we’re reeling in trout like it’s a fish buffet. Captain Sean knows every nook and cranny of that ocean like it’s his backyard. And let’s not forget Abbie, the deckhand. She’s like the ninja of fishing. You need a new bait? She’s got it before you even ask. Tangled line? She’s on it. The only thing she can’t do is make your stepdad catch anything other than weird sea creatures. By the end of the trip, we had caught our limit. We were tired, sunburned, and grinning like idiots. It was one of those days you remember forever. If you’re looking for a fishing trip that’ll make you feel like you’re in a Hemingway novel, do yourself a favor and book with Captain Sean and Abbie. Five stars aren’t enough for these legends.

    Shirley G. with Shawn W. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time. Such a great experience and appreciate the help making memories. Captain Derek with Reel man fishing charters was friendly, knew where to go to catch fish and genuinely cared to give us a good fishing experience.

    Paul S. with Meghan B. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Storm the day before put the bite off, but we caught lots of Catfish, several near 5 lbs, so my grandson enjoyed that. Capt Mike worked for his money, constantly repositioning the boat to our advantage & taking us out to try for Sharks upon our request. He kept the language clean, which, knowing alot of Sailors, was a bonus...He also made sure my grandson had an approved life vest & hooked and passed a couple of the bigger fish to him. Overall, I'd charter with him again for sure. A+++
