About Your Guide

Ricardo G.

Independent Guide

Captain Ricardo "Rene" always strives to provide an outstanding service and ultimate fishing charter experience. Boat launches from the Galveston Yacht Basin. Fishing trips will run 4 hours long, primary fishing spots are the Galveston jetties, shipping channel and bay. Everything is included.

Captain Ricardo "Rene" was born and raised in Houston Texas, however, Galveston has always been his second home. Growing up he spent endless weekends and summers in Galveston fishing off the surf and piers all around the island. Saltwater fishing and being on or near the sea have always been a passion and a sanctuary for him. After spending some time in the military, including two tours in Afghanistan, Captain Rene was drawn back to his second home for some much needed rest and relaxation. After some deep soul searching, his heart was moved to share his passion and sanctuary with others. He earned his captain's license in 2017 and started his veteran owned business the following year. His motto is "Inspire Share Respect". Inspire one another, Share with each another, and Respect everything life has to offer. Find your passion and pursue it relentlessly.
