About Your Trip

Come explore the waters just outside of San Leon, Texas with Captain Ray!

You’ll be fishing aboard Captain Ray’s 25 ft Boston Whaler center console. This beast is equipped with a GPS, fishfinder, ice box, and a wireless trolling motor, which will help you sneak up on easily spooked fish.

On these 8-hour adventures, you’ll target the Texas Big Three: Flounder, Redfish, and Speckled Trout. You could also get bites from Tarpon and Blacktip Shark. Listen closely to Captain Ray’s tips and tricks - he’ll take you to where the fish bite!

Captain Ray will provide all rods, reels, and lures. Bring a valid Texas saltwater fishing license, a cooler to take home your day’s catch, food, and drinks of your choice.

Learn to fish new techniques and create lasting memories on the water while reeling in your personal best with Captain Ray!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
