Ready to fish bigger waters and land bigger fish? Capt. Josh's Offshore Charters is federally permitted to take you farther offshore, right where the real action happens.

With trips ranging from 4 to 18 hours, there's something for everyone, from quick outings to hardcore offshore adventures. Drop lines for Snapper and Grouper, or troll for aggressive King Mackerel and trophy pelagics like Sailfish, Tuna, and Marlin off South Padre Island. You'll mix it up with techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, popper casting, and slow-pitch jigging; no two trips feel the same.

You'll head out on a 30' Albemarle Express, a top-tier offshore fishing machine known for its smooth, dry ride and serious performance. Cruising at 30 knots, it gets you to the fish fast, so you spend less time traveling and more time reeling them in.

Comfort meets capability with a roomy layout, enclosed helm, and a ride that handles offshore conditions with ease. This boat is built to fish hard while keeping you comfortable all day long.

Outfitted with cutting-edge electronics, radar, GPS anchor, autopilot, and fish-finding tech, plus high-end Penn and Shimano gear that's maintained and refreshed each season, you'll be fully equipped for success.

Best of all? No surprises. Capt. Josh keeps it straightforward; fuel, bait, drinks, parking, and fish cleaning are all included. Just bring your Texas saltwater fishing license and your sense of adventure.

Grab your crew, bring the family, and get ready to make unforgettable memories on the water.

    Absolute blast!

    Half Day Trip on April 23, 2026 • 4 adults

    Highly anticipated trip and it did not disappoint! 🐟 Josh put us on over 50 red snapper (7 keepers!) and gave great local advice. White Sands restaurant for the win on cooking them up! He definitely knows his fishing, the waters and where to catch! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can’t wait to book again. Thanks for an incredible day Josh!

    12 for 12, limited out in 2 hours!

    Full Day Trip on October 13, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    We limited out on state snappers in less than 2 hours, 3 person group. Captain Josh was very kind to my family and had the patience with my noob fishing relatives. He was very safe and explained processes when necessary. The boat was kepted very clean and ran well, even during the catching feast, housekeeping was maintained. the boat was not loud and he even asked us if we would like music played to our liking. I will use Captain Josh every year when in the SPI area.

    Hammered the snapper!

    Full Day Trip on February 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Josh put us on the fish today!! We caught so many snapper our arms were getting tired! The snapper were big ones too. Josh was great - he kept the poles baited, got the fish in the boat & then released them all afternoon after we limited out. We'd do it again if we can get the time.

    Fishing Reunion

    Half Day Trip on September 20, 2025 • 4 adults

    Four old college friends wanted to relive their early year fishing trips. Captain Josh was very patient with us and put us on a lot of fish. Unfortunately almost all were too little. Captain Josh didn’t give up and we caught a 40-50 lb cobia. He made sure we had a great time.

    Awesome

    Half Day Trip on March 10, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Josh was awesome!!! Just a really good guy to fish with, very willing to share his knowledge and expertise, making for a great day fishing. We Caught so many fish couldn't keep count. Caught fish at every stop. Limited out on Red Snapper and even showed my wife a pod of Dolphins on the return ride to the marina. (Saving me from a Dolphin tour.) Will definitely fish with Captain Josh again and would highly recommend him to anyone for a fishing charter. Great time, Thank you

    Great time

    Full Day Trip on June 28, 2025 • 3 adults

    Josh was so personable not only that but here’s been a local so long he knows all the good spots. Today we went for snapper then trolled for bigger fish. Although we caught A TON of snapper none of them were legal but Josh KEPT trying. You can absolutely tell Josh is passionate about his job and more importantly wants the customers to enjoy their trip!!!

    If I Could Give More Then Five Stars I Would

    10 Hour Trip – Billfish/Tuna on October 25, 2024 • 2 adults

    I want to start out by saying my family and I had the best time with Josh that we could have. Josh was very knowledgeable and he was patient with my elderly parents. We could not have asked for a better experience. I would recommend Josh for anyone for any experience level. He put us on fish as soon as we reached the fishery. We got fish down to the last minute of our trip. The hardest working captain I have ever chartered. We will definitely book again!!! Thanks Josh for an experience of a life time!

    Captain Josh was a knowledgeable, experienced and fun captain - my wife and I had a blast!!

    Half Day Trip on September 1, 2024 • 2 adults

    This was an amazing first off shore fishing experience! We had a blast with Capt Josh- he could answer all of our questions about the different fish we had seen during our visit, explained the fishing regulations. He was extremely helpful with my wife when she was nervous about reeling the fish in and gave assistance as needed. We will definitely fish with Captain Josh again!
