Enjoy a fun-filled day fishing the rich waters of Texas and create some great memories with Aqua Safari Charters. You’ll start out of Galveston and head to inshore waters, as well as offshore fishing grounds, to explore the wide variety of fish these productive grounds have on offer. Right by your side will be your Captain to guide you and help you have a trip to remember!

You’ll start off on a restored 42’ Delta offshore sport fishing boat with plenty of room for up to 18 anglers. It runs on twin 320 HP Cummins engines and uses all the best navigation gear which includes GPS, fishfinder, radar, as well as VHF radio systems. The boat has a flybridge, toilet, and shower. You’ll have an ice box to store your fish and there will also be a first mate coming on your trip for any extra help you may need.

The species you’ll have the chance to reel in include Mahi Mahi, Blacktip Shark, Flounder, Red Snapper, Cobia, and more. Using light and heavy tackle, you’ll attract your prey by bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, trolling, and drifting. 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.

Before you start the trip, you should bring your license, food, and drinks.

Come fish with Aqua Safari Charters and experience all the beauties of fishing in this part of Texas!
