If you plan on fishing in Galveston, look no further than Bravo Zulu Fishing Charters. Captain Rene will be your guide, bringing aboard their knowledge and experience.
Redfish, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Blacktip Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Bull Shark, and more could be biting if you come at the right time of year.
During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Rene believes in teaching kids to fish while they're young, so get 'em offline and onto the water! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Don't forget to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!
You'll be dropping lines from a 24' Center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials.
Capt. Rene will supply rods and reels for you. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Father’s Day Fishing Trip to Remember This Father’s Day fishing trip with my boys was an experience we will never forget. From start to finish, everything about the trip was outstanding. We caught redfish, black drum, trout, and several sharks, making for an action-packed day on the water. Captain Rene was exceptional. He didn’t just take us fishing—he made the experience personal. He took the time to work with us, answer our questions, and ensure everyone had a great time. His boat was extremely clean, well-maintained, and fully stocked with everything needed for a successful trip. What stood out most was the effort Captain Rene put into making the day special for my family. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine personality turned a great fishing trip into a memorable Father’s Day experience. We will absolutely be booking another trip with Captain Rene. He didn’t just gain another customer—he made a friend. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Captain Renee was fantastic. Our two boys had an absolute blast and made memories we’ll be talking about for years. She was incredibly patient with them, took time to work on their fishing skills, and made sure they stayed engaged and having fun the entire trip. We caught fish, learned a lot, and enjoyed a great morning on the water. What stood out most was how well he balanced helping the kids while still making it a fun and successful fishing trip for everyone. If you’re looking for a family-friendly charter with a knowledgeable and personable captain, I highly recommend booking with Capt. Renee. Thanks for a great experience and some wonderful family memories!
We went out with Guide Rene Garcia, we loved every minute. We knew nothing about saltwater fishing, Rene was a wealth of knowledge for us. He is very patient and kind. And ladies if you've been unsure if you wanted to participate while your partner is fishing, Rene is your guy. He's a tremendous help, he kept my line bated at all times, he would cast out my line for me. All I had to do was reel in my catch, so much fun. He taught us alot and took the time to answer any of our questions. Definitely giving him a call the next time we come to Galveston. Thank you Rene for a heck of a good time!!!

Very professional down to Earth Captain, great communication through booking process. Good price.. Took us to multiple spots to catch a variety of fish. Very good at teaching those with little experience and not invasive to those who do know how. Truly Knowledgeable and great at explaining not only fishing but anything inregards to the ocean and it’s animal life. This Was my second trip with him and already looking forward to my 3rd. If you want to have fun and catch fish, Captain Rene is your guy.

Captain Rene was awesome! He was kind, professional, patient, and most of all - he really knows what he is doing out there. My daughter and I did a morning 4hr fishing trip with him to the Galveston Jetties. His boat was comfortable and full of first class equipment. He os an expert on the seasonal fish patterns and did a great job teaching both my daughter and I the technique required to catch the spawning Sheepshead off the rocks, and we had a blast. We caught 10 fish, including 6 Sheepshead and 2 Black Drum. Kept and cooked the Sheepshead for dinner with the rest of our family and it was delicious. Very underrated gamefish! Tastes better than Redfish IMHO. We come to Galveston at least once a year, and we will definitely be calling Captain Rene for our next fishing trip in Galveston.

Captain Rene greeted us and after a quick explanation of the plan, we were on our way. We hit the fish almost immediately. Smaller bait fish and a few good size sand trout and whiting. When we got our bait on the heavy duty rods we hit a black-tip shark, black drum and the then we tagged out on big reds. Captain Rene was very friendly, respectful, and attentive. He guided us when we needed help or if we asked for some direction. Never over bearing and never disrespectful. Captain Rene showed us a great time and delivered on a great fishing experience! Once again, thank you for your time and your service! We'll be back!
We had an awesome experience from start to finish. Captain was respectful, easy-going, and made the whole trip really enjoyable. We caught a good amount of fish and captain filleted everything for us afterwards. You can tell he generally cares about giving people a great experience. I've been on other charters before, but this one really stood out. Highly recommend giving them a try over other charters.
Captain Rene is extremely nice, well prepared, and very helpful. If you communicate in advance about your expectations for the trip, Captain Rene will accommodate you and meet your expectations. For example, be sure to let him know if you are a beginner or an experienced fisherman and he will plan accordingly. We will definitely use him again. Thanks for the trip RG… It was super fun!
This was my fourth trip with Captain Renee over the past two years, and each experience has been outstanding. He is a true professional with extensive knowledge of fishing in the Galveston waters. Captain Renee is very patient and adapts well to your level of fishing experience, making the trip enjoyable for both beginners and seasoned anglers. I highly recommend him and will continue to book with him in the future.
Capt. Rene was an awesome guide and a pleasure to fish with. Our trip was a great and productive with limits of Spec’s, , 32” Red and 1 Pompano. Thank you Rene for the meat, memories and your service to our nation. Happy 250th!!!!
I had booked this trip for my daughter and myself, she just wanted to go fishing with me (awww) before heading back to college, but she unfortunately had to last minute cancel so I invited my brother. We're both pushing 60 years old, have fished the Galveston area our entire lives, had zero expectations as conditions weren't ideal, but just grateful for the time window to enjoy the morning together and make some casts. We had not fished the jetties together since the early 80's so it was certainly a 4-hour nostalgia trip for us with memories of fishing with our Dad as kids. Rene pivoted to several spots on the jetties but it wasn't happening with desired species ... not his fault ... so we discussed Plan B options ... one of which was a spot we regularly fished with our Dad in the late 70's / early 80's. We posted up at the Plan B spot, scratched out some nice sand trout and a keeper speck, and had a great time with Rene shooting the breeze and reminiscing. If you book Rene, looking for the full experience boat ride to the jetties and all that, which can be insane when it's game on, by all means start the day that way. If it's not happening, trust me it's not his fault, tell him "Let's try plans B, C, and D." He knows where to go. My brother and I are definitely going to book him again with that exact float plan, meaning hit the jetties and be ready to pivot if it's not happening. Enjoyed the hang, Rene, thank you for your service to our country, and we'll see you soon.

Appreciate the thoughtful review. Glad you and your brother got to spend that morning on the water together, especially with the memories of fishing those same spots with your Dad. Conditions weren’t ideal but we made the most of it and still put a few in the boat. Always enjoy the conversation and the history that comes with trips like that. Thanks for the kind words about my service. Looking forward to having you both back out there. Thank you for choosing Bravo Zulu Fishing Charters. God Bless.
Captain Rene went WELL out of his way to make sure my son had the best fishing experience for his birthday. I cant even say enough about his kindness. Super patient with us less experienced fishermen. Had us on some great catches in no time at all. made sure we stayed baited up and lines in the water. Very knowledgeable and experienced with the area. Kept us completely in the loop on what our objectives were to get those reels singing! His communication was above average in staying in touch and custom tailoring the trip to our specific skill set and expectations. I will warn you though…. thanks to Captain Rene… My son and I are officially addicted to saltwater fishing now! Looking forward to getting back on his boat ASAP😂

Had a great time getting your son out there for his birthday. Always aim to keep things patient and keep the lines in the water so everyone stays in the action. We put some solid catches in the boat and it sounds like the trip got you both hooked on saltwater fishing. Looking forward to having you back on the boat soon. Thank you for choosing Bravo Zulu Fishing Charters. God Bless.

Appreciate the review on that Father’s Day trip with your boys. Had a good time getting everyone on redfish, black drum, trout and sharks. Glad I could keep it personal and make it a solid memory.

Appreciate the review on the family trip. The boys were fun to work with and we got some fish in the boat while I showed them a few things. Glad everyone stayed engaged and had a good time. Thanks for the kind words. Thank you for choosing Bravo Zulu Fishing Charters. God Bless.

This was my first time fishing in ages and my wife and kids first time ever. Rene was absolutely amazing with us. He took the time to get us comfortable and used to the equipment and had the kids looking like pros in no time at all. My 11-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter had a blast. I was worried they might be bored or not into it but they loved everything from the boat ride to the jetty to learning about sea life and other things in the area. And of course they loved catching fish. We were blessed with wonderful weather and were able to take home some great game fish for dinner. I highly recommend Captain Rene, he made us feel like we were the number one priority at all times and gave us a memorable experience we will talk about forever.

Had a good time getting your wife and kids out for their first trip. Turned them into little pros quick on the boat and at the jetty while we pointed out some sea life and got a few nice game fish in the cooler for dinner. Thanks for bringing the family. Thank you for choosing Bravo Zulu Fishing Charters. God Bless.

I was born and raised in Houston, but Galveston has always been my second home. Growing up, I spent endless weekends and summers fishing off the surf and piers all around the island. Saltwater fishing and being on or near the sea have always been a passion and a sanctuary for me. After spending some time in the military, including two tours in Afghanistan, I was drawn back to Galveston for some much-needed rest and relaxation. But after some deep soul searching, my heart was moved to share my passion and sanctuary with others. I earned my captain's license in 2017 and started my veteran-owned business the following year. My motto is 'Inspire Share Respect.' I believe in inspiring others, sharing experiences, and showing respect for all life. Find your passion and pursue it relentlessly. I invite you to join me on an adventure and experience the thrill of saltwater fishing in Galveston. Let's make memories together and discover the beauty of the sea. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience, book your trip today!
