About Your Trip

Embark on an unforgettable 9-hour adventure with Captain Jay! On this trip, you'll go offshore to chase some of Texas' most popular sportfish while enjoying amazing, wide-open views of the Gulf of Mexico!

Captain Jay will use his 48 years of experience to take you where the fish are biting. You can expect to fish within a 40-nautical mile radius of Port Aransas, targeting Kingfish, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, and more!

You will be fishing from Captain Jays’s sleek 42’ Bertram, which is powered by twin 450 HP Cummins engines. The boat’s interior is air-conditioned and spacious and she also contains a full-sized bathroom. If you like a view, you’ll enjoy riding up in the boat’s spacious flybridge!

Captain Jay will provide the rods and reels, bait, and tackle. You must bring a valid Texas Fishing License with a saltwater stamp, food and drinks (no glass). These trips can host up to six people, so bring some good company!

Get ready for a monster day on the water with Captain Jay!

Excellent charter trip. Very hot day but the air conditioned salon was just a step away for cooling off. Easily caught limits of Kings and Snappers plus added a few Barracudas. I recommend Capt “J” for deep sea fishing.
