Capt Josh’s Offshore Charters is located in Port Isabel, just across the bridge from South Padre Island.

Capt. Josh will do whatever it takes make sure you have a fun day full of fishing, with 4 to 10 hour trips on the offer. Target Snapper and Grouper on the bottom and troll for scrappy King Mackerel and other pelagic species such as Sailfish, Tuna, and Marlin off of South Padre Island. On these trips, you can expect to employ a variety techniques such as Bottom fishing, trolling, casting popers, slow pitch jigging and more

Your fishing adventure starts on a 29’ custom built 2016 Sutphen center console that can safely take up to 4 anglers out to the fishing grounds at speeds of 50+mph. One of the newest, fastest and well appointed charter boats in the area. The boats fast cruising speed and excellent sea-keeping abilities give Josh’s guests more time fishing and the ability to travel further to better fishing spots.

Not only is Captain Josh’s boat fast and safe but it's also well appointed with radar, head (toilet) ,outriggers, digital GPS anchor, autopilot, and the latest fish finding technology. The boat is furnished with top of the line rods and reels from Penn and Shimano. The gear abroad is regularly maintained and replaced with new every season, giving you the best advantage to get the fish of a lifetime!

I believe that your trip should be seamless as possible thats why unlike other charters there’s no hidden fees. Parking, fish cleaning, extra fuel charges, non alcoholic drinks and bait are all included in my prices. The only thing you'll need is some excitement to catch some fish and a Texas salt water fishing license!

Bring your whole family and make memories of a lifetime with Capt. Josh!

Full Day Trip on October 13, 20251 adult1 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.

Full Day Trip on June 28, 20253 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!!!

Half Day Trip (AM) on March 10, 20252 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

Fishing Reunion
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 20, 20254 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.

Josh took me and the misses out last week for a half day trip. We had a great time, we caught lots of fish and took home some good snapper fillets. Josh is a great guide! He was helpful, informative and friendly. I will definitely use him again and recommend him all day long.
