Galveston Deep Sea Fishing Charters invites you for a terrific day of fishing in Galveston, Texas. Join Captain Hoot and his crew and explore various types of grounds to find and reel in many prized species. The nature around Galveston is beautiful, so along with a great fishing experience, you’re also bound to enjoy the natural scenery. Come and have a memorable fishing trip with Galveston Deep Sea Fishing Charters!

Your journey starts on a restored 40’ Cat Limbo offshore sport fishing boat that can sit up to 6 guests. Thanks to its powerful twin 380 HP Cummins engine as well as comprehensive navigation technology, you’ll reach the fish in no time. The boat’s facilities include a kitchen, toilet, shower, beds, and a flybridge. The boat is also air-conditioned and has got a livewell, refrigerator, and an ice box. A first mate will also be on board to give you any assistance you may need.

The waters around Galveston always offer plenty to catch. While exploring its inshore, nearshore, and offshore spots, as well as the reefs and wrecks, you can encounter Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Marlin, Hammerhead Shark, Tuna, Redfish, and other prized species that dwell in the area. You’ll catch them on light and heavy tackle by bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, and popping. Bring your kids as well so you can have some great family time in nature. Also, you’re free to keep all your catch and take it home.

The captain provides you with all the fishing gear you’ll need. Just make sure you have your licenses with you when you arrive (along with any drinks or snacks you want) and the adventure can begin.
