About Your Trip

We are a family owned business with a fishing history going back multiple generations. We have been recreational, commercial, and sport fishing the Gulf waters for multiple generations.. Our sport fishing experience not only includes big-game fishing in Galveston, but has captained and crewed boats in many parts of the Gulf and beyond.

We are licensed USCG Master Captains, and are CPR and First Aid certified.
Our captains know how to cater to any fisherman – from seasoned fishers to new anglers who have never held a fishing rod on deep sea or bay fishing charters. Our fishing charters are great for kids and families as well! We promise you that no one will try harder or be more motivated to show you Galveston’s finest offshore and bay fishing than our crew.

We only offer private fishing charters, which means that your group will be the only ones on the boat with the captains and deckhands. Your group will have all of the attention and catch all of the fish. Since we offer many boats and trip types, Ours Captains will explaining how to choose which boat and trip will best suit your group.

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.
