Charter Fishing Galveston runs angling trips out of Galveston and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about. With 4 boats to choose from.

Booking an offshore charter will take you to fishing grounds further from the dock to open waters. In open water fishing, you might hook Bull Redfish, sharks, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, and if you are lucky, the illusive Cobia. Fishing for Snapper, Grouper, or other bottom fish will need a bit more travel time but it is well worth it when hooking the big one. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so. When everyone is limited out, you will work on filling the box with other offshore fish at the rigs and around the Gulf.

You’ll be fishing from a 38’ Bertram. It also includes a toilet and ice-box. There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated.

All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. All that’s up to you is to use it as best you can.

The boat will be supplied with drinks for your pleasure, be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time.

Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with. Children under the age of 10 are not permitted on any offshore charter. The bay and jetty charter trips do not permit children under the age of 7. Any charter that includes children, must have adequate adult supervision for safety reasons.
