South Padre Island, TX, United States

Come spend the day aboard with Chachi Charter! Its nearshore and offshore fishing trips are a great way to enjoy the Gulf of Mexico. Captain Emilio Solis will meet you in South Padre Island, Texas, take you to its productive fishing grounds, and help you have a wonderful fishing experience in this beautiful environment. Whether you’re looking for serious angling action or family fun, join in and start your fishing adventure!

You’ll start your trip on a restored 35’ Bertram offshore sport fishing boat that can sit up to 6 anglers. Its powerful twin Caterpillar 450 HP engines and modern navigation technology guarantee you a safe and quick trip to the fish. The boat is air-conditioned and it’s got a toilet, flybridge, as well as a microwave oven and refrigerator. There will be a first mate at your disposal all the time. The onboard fishing gear includes outriggers, a fighting chair, and livewell.

There’s plenty of interesting fish for you to catch. Some of the species include Tripletail, Snapper, Skipjack Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Blue Marlin, and Sailfish. You’ll be bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, and trolling to catch them, all using hard tackle. You’re free to bring kids along with you, and you can choose whether to keep your catch or release it back to the water.

The captain will cover you for all the rods, reels, tackle, as well as live bait. For the trip, you’ll need to bring your fishing licenses, food, and drinks.

Come visit South Padre Island and have a super fun time on the water with Chachi Charters!

The captain and first mate were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. Even though the weather was not ideal, though good, we still caught plenty of fish. They also called ahead and helped us rescheduled when the forecast looked even worse for the next day.

This was our first fishing trip together. We really wanted to catch Mahi mahi, and our boys caught one each at the same time! Both the captain and deck hand were awesome! Very knowledgeable of where the fish were and helped every bit of the process. Would highly recommend!!
