What types of sailfish fishing charters are common in Texas?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for sailfish in Texas as well as deep sea fishing and nearshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Texas are artificial lure fishing, bottom fishing, and cut bait fishing but deep dropping and drift fishing are popular as well.

How much do Texas sailfish fishing charters cost?

Prices for sailfish in Texas can range anywhere from about $2,310 to $8,000, but the average price for a full day trip for sailfish in Texas is $5,595.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    Trip: South Padre Island Deep Sea

  • ★★★★★
    Great trip! They asked what we wanted to do, to which I replied "catch as many tasty fish as possible", and we did just that catching our limit of red snapper, king fish, a shark, and some baracuda. We spent a ton of time with rods in the water and they made it as exciting as possible for the kids that were in our group.

    Trip: Port A Deep Sea

  • ★★★★★
    Captain went above and beyond to ensure we caught everything we asked for. Deck hand worked his tail off keeping our lines bated and fish put into the cooler! Limited out on Red Snapper and caught several Mahi Mahi with one big Amber Jack that was unfortunately out of season and had to be released. Great time for my family of 6-people and everyone was pleased with boat, Captain and deck hand. Thanks for the bucket list Clay

    Trip: 10 Hour Deep Sea Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    EPIC DAY OFFSHORE!! Captain Clay and Dan (mate) were awesome and our offshore trip with me and my 2 teenage boys was epic. Action was nonstop when bottom fishing and we easily put full limit of red and vermilion snapper in our box. A couple of shark encounters kept it spicy. Icing on the cake was big mahi hook up we got while trolling on way our back in. These guys knew how to find the fish and what to do when you get there! The boat had plenty of comfy space for riding and fishing. The overall experience was smooth, organized and efficient. We had a blast and will use these guys anytime we want to go offshore.
