Blue Water Excursions is here to give you a unique fishing adventure you’ll never forget. Join this professional crew, whose goal is to provide you with the most enjoyable experience on the water. Captain Chad Banks is a licensed master 200-ton captain with years of experience and thousands of fishing trips offshore of Port Aransas under his belt. His local knowledge and dedication to service will ensure you have a wonderful day out in the big blue and will keep you coming back for more.

The boat you’ll be fishing from is a 36’  long and 12 ft wide Twin Vee catamaran that accommodates up to 6 guests. This catamaran is powered by twin 300 HP Yamaha engines and reaches the speed of 45 knots. There is a private toilet on the boat, as well as a live bait tank, a cooler, and modern navigational electronics.

Choose the trip between 6 and 12 hours long. It all depends on how much effort you want to put in and what species you’re after. Some of your targets will be Red Snapper, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Amberjack, Kingfish, Marlin, Swordfish, and many more.

All fishing equipment is included in the price, so you only need to purchase your fishing license and pack some snacks and drinks for the day. The crew prides itself on offering a great experience at competitive prices.

From tasty inshore species to big game offshore fish, Blue Water Excursions will help you get your trophy.

What a Ride.
6 Hour Trip (AM) on June 11, 20253 adults
We set out with storms in the area but were forecasted to stay inland. Weatherman got it wrong. We got out to the red snappers and quickly caught our limit before our Captain said we have to head back due to storms approaching. What a ride. I've never seen such wind and high waves. It took us 2.5 hours to get back in, but we were never worried. The captain really knew what he was doing. The Captain and deck hand Derrick were so nice and are real pros. We caught our limit and a great story to go with it. I highly recommend Blue Water Excursions. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Liam had us on king mackerel just past the jetties from the marina in minutes.. Then we went on the journey for the red snapper & he did not disappoint. We all pulled in some 10 lbs + snapper and had some Mahi Mahi as plus while out there. The crew as a whole with Derek was on point. I'd definitely be looking to book with them again

All my daughter wanted was to catch a shark for her birthday, so I expressed as much in a message to the captain. They obliged. We targeted shark early, then went after some Red Snapper for the dinner plate. Great time. Very accommodating. I recommend for any family private charter.

I invited some friends to go on the fishing trip for my birthday, Nelson the captain, very knowledgeable and friendly, Derek the Deckhand worked his butt off. To keep lures in the water and bait on the hooks overall a great trip recommended to all I was in business myself and charting is not easy. Captain Ronny

From the moment we stepped on the boat, the crew was friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. We caught a ton of fish, learned a lot, and had nonstop fun out on the open water. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make unforgettable memories on the Gulf!
