These 3/4-day adventures will stay within the state water line (less the 10 miles from shore) hitting the jetties, ship channels, and nearshore waters where you can troll for Kingfish, Bonito, Sharks and occasionally Mahi and Ling (Cobia) when they sneak close enough inshore.

    Richard B. with Corey B. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Our trips last Thursday and Friday were with Dan and Saul (both boats were Dan’s). I think both guys tried. Sometimes the fish bite and sometimes they don’t. That’s why they call it fishing and not catching. This said, I was unpleasantly surprised that most of both days we spent fishing for bait fish. And unless you tell me differently this was not in the plan. Given our travel cost the boat costs, I was and remain disappointed. Paul

    Paul G. with Dan G. of Galveston, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Dan was great. Very knowledgeable, great with our kids. Awesome trip, I would highly recommend him.

    We sought after a fishing trip for our son's 12th birthday since he had never been saltwater fishing before and loves to fish. After searching online for hours we came to the conclusion that Captain Experiences check all the boxes of what we were looking for. The online booking was easy and communication was fast. Our guides, Saul and Aaron were very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. We were able to snag a big one and come away with some great memories. We look forward to booking again soon.
