Great fishing experience!
6 Hour Trip – Jetty Trip - 1:30 PM on July 5, 20256 adults

It was our first time chartering a boat in Galveston and our group didn't really know what to expect. Captain Richard was very helpful answering all of our questions. He knows the water well and took us to some great fishing spots on the 6 hour tour. His first mate Dalton taught us a lot about fishing in Galveston and he worked hard to keep our lines in the water. Our group had a wonderful experience. We hope to fish with the crew again in the future.

Off Shore with Frisky Reds
8 Hour Trip on July 1, 20256 adults

I took my family out 60 miles with Frisky Reds. We hammered the red snapper! I have been offshore charter many times and what I loved most about this trip was the crew. They were extremely helpful, attentive, great with my teenagers, and made the trip memorable. Many times boat crews can be real jerks and inpatient with people that never fish but these guys were AWESOME. I would HIGHLY recommend Frisky Reds for anyone wanting to have a great trip.

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

I love all kinds of fishing, whether inshore or offshore. I never get tired of watching the big redfish or or monster snappers come aboard. I started fishing with grandparents when I could barely walk and addicted to it my whole life. I always try and make the best memories for all customers and always go the extra mile for kids.
