Coastal Charters "Blackjack" 

Captain Joe went way above and beyond to ensure that my 16 year old son and his friends had a great offshore experience. He's patient and encouraging, and you can tell he loves his profession. In addition to a box full of red snapper and king fish, the boys got experiences they'll remember for a long time. Thanks, Captain Joe.

We set out to celebrate a 50th birthday with some off shore fishing. Banjo and Kaylee and Caleb were a first class crew with fishing knowldege, trip logistics and dolling out the jokes. Would recommend for anyone experienced to a first timer. We will be back for sure. thank you Coastal charters!

Everything!!

Just an amazing day of fishing with Richard and Justin Hall who were very knowledgeable and experienced for our Bay fishing trip. We caught lots of drum, red, trout and even flounder. They were amazing Captains for small kids too. Definitely recommend for fishing Port Aransas and the Aransas Pass and Rockport Bay Area!

Our trip was booked for 7 am but was double booked and we were pushed to afternoon. We went ahead even though it was not what we wanted. Captain was nice and friendly but was quick with excuses why he was late for pickup. Then it took a long time to leave bc the boat wasn’t fueled. When we finally took off, he was very friendly and kind, but made it obvious he wanted to get to spot, catch our limit and go home. The chop was awful, and ended up ruining trip for multiple people. Traveled for 2.5 hours of 4 hr trip to get to spot bc of how bad seas were. He definitely put us on fish however, were there for less than 15 minutes, caught 3 and lost 2. Just wasn’t worth being beat to crap by waves for so long. It wasn’t the captains fault for any of it. Biggest frustration was being bumped after paying such a premium. $1500 for a trip should get us what we asked for, not the scraps. The owner reached out at 7 pm the day before blaming the mix up on people in India and not concerned at all with what was being done to us and our vacation. We rolled with it, only to have them be late, infield at pickup, and complaining how expensive bait was. We paid a premium, and didn’t get anything close to expectations. Captain was incredibly nice, and patient after we had a couple people from our party have serious comfort issues out on water. When arriving to dock after trip, owner again seemed to not care at all for what we were out through on booking only worried about getting payment, giving us a sour taste in mouth after a fishing trip that was less than ideal. Boat wasn’t fine, Captain was very nice and friendly, knew exactly where to go to catch them even though it was a miserable trip getting there. Dealt with our issues, and never made us feel bad or like a burden for such short fishing time. Felt like trip was overpriced, but delivered fish, so I won’t say don’t go. Just disappointed for the extremely high cost of booking.

Yesterday's 12 hr adventure was the best. Banjo the captain put us on a 70 lb record wahoo And some big jacks! Banjos crew knows Thier stuff aswell landed us 3 fish on at once! Definitely a CHILL Environment!
