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.

Your trip with Bravo Zulu Fishing Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

    Lines Tight and Memories Made: An Outstanding Fishing Trip”

    4 Hour Trip — Galveston Bay Jetty on June 22, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Great Trip for the Whole Family

    4 Hour Trip — Galveston Bay Jetty on June 15, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    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!

    Half Day Trip With Captain Rene

    4 Hour Trip — Galveston Bay Jetty - 1:00 PM on May 30, 2026

    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.

    Had a blast

    4 Hour Trip — Galveston Bay Jetty on April 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    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!!!

    Great 1/2 day Galveston Jetty trip

    4 Hour Trip — Galveston Bay Jetty on March 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    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.

    Great experience!

    4 Hour Trip - Galveston Bay Jetty - 3:00 PM on November 24, 2025 • 2 adults

    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!

    Exciting Trip!

    4 Hour Trip — Galveston Bay Jetty on June 6, 2026 • 5 adults

    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!

    Outstanding charter experience - above and beyond

    4 Hour Trip — Galveston Bay Jetty - 1:00 PM on April 16, 2026 • 2 adults

    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.

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!
