Captain Lee is a sea-loving soul who lives to share his bluewater passion with others. We're willing to bet he's more excited than you to hear your line start screaming. His father introduced him to fishing as a child and he hasn't stopped since.

So, my wife Tina and I are at the Houston Boat a little over a month ago and we meet Jonathan founder of Captain Experiences.

Jonathan asked me if I was looking for a fishing charter and it just so happened, we were. Fast forward and myself and my good friend Joe are boarding the boat. We booked a 36-hour fishing trip looking for an adventure and some great fish on Capt. Lee's boat with his crew, Chris, David and Benito. Jonathan and his photo videotographer friend Brian were fishing with us to produce a fishing video for the website.

With a few hours to relax while we were heading out to deeper water, we had some time to talk with Jonathan about Captain. I think this is a great thing when you can contact Captain and ask if there's something available for any type of fishing as well as the place and date you are wanting to book a fishing charter. Before I met Jonathan, I had been searching the web for an offshore fishing trip to catch Tuna out of Galveston. I found a couple charters, but I was hoping for more charters that offered offshore trips to choose from.

We booked our trip on Capt. Lee's boat and Jonathan kept us informed leading up to the day our trip.

Getting a chance to talk with the rest of the crew and it’s always great to hear how much we have the same passion for the enjoyment of fishing. The crew worked endlessly to keep us fishing and they did an excellent job at rigging their equipment and Capt. lee had good working tackle.

The professional photo videotographer captured us on some great fish and I'm looking forward to seeing all the pictures and videos from our trip. Thanks Brian!

When Jonathan booked our trip with Capt. Lee based on what I told him we were looking for, I had a few expectations for our trip. Myself and the rest of us on the boat expected to be safe and have a briefing on what to do in an emergency. Capt. Lee did just that as soon as we got on his boat.
I expected to enjoy the trip and fish on a neat back deck which only adds to the fishermans safety, and the crew took great care of that.

The boat has seen a few sunrises and sunset. For me, it added to the nostalgia of fishing on a boat that I’m sure has had some great fish over the rails and it's cool to imagine just how many places that boat has been and all the people who have enjoyed the same fishing experiences as we just did last week.

Capt. Lee reminds me of Capt. Ron, and I mean that in the best way because Kurt Russel nailed it in his role in Capt. Ron, and Capt. Lee nailed it as well. We had an overall great time and would recommend booking a trip with them.

Best,
Mark

This trip was amazing! Captain Lee really worked hard to get us on the fish. We caught fish all day long - red snapper, king fish and even a mangrove snapper. We had the best time. In my honest opinion, Captain Lee is the best and has my highest recommendation. It's money well spent if you haven't booked with him or maybe thinking about it, I say do it. He's great!
