Explore Galveston's offshore waters with Bandolure Charters! Captain Jay Dee will be your host and guide for the day, taking you to best fishing spots in the area. He has a knack for locating where the fish are and he's very attentive to his guests. He'll make sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable catching a few, regardless of your previous fishing experience.

You'll be fishing on Bandolure, a 31' Twin Vee catamaran that accommodates up to 5 guests. The boat is powered by twin 250 HP Suzuki engines and reaches the speed of 45 knots. This vessel also has up-to-date and cutting-edge navigational technologies. This assures a safe and reliable ride to and from the dock! In the harsh Gulf waters, the catamaran-style hull provides a calm ride. There's plenty of room for fuel and fish, as well as a seating area.

During your trip, you'll have a chance to target a variety of fish species, such as Red Snapper, Kingfish, Black Drum, Redfish, Amberjack, Barracuda, and many more. Discuss with the captain what you want to catch, so he can adjust the techniques and move to spots where you'll have the best chances to reach your goal.

All fishing equipment is included in the price, as well as catch cleaning service after the trip. Captain will also prepare fresh water but feel free to bring other drinks and some snacks. Make sure to have your fishing license with you.

Bandolure Charters is here for a fun-filled day on the water for you and your loved ones. Pick a date and see you at the dock!

We had 4 of us on the boat for 2 days. All of us limited on Snapper and they were big ones. Caught sharks and Barracuda, and several others. I would recommend this trip to anyone. We had a great time.

Bandolure Charters (Silver Trip)
10 Hour Trip – Snapper on October 8, 20224 adults

Great fishing! Got to catch our own bait fish. Captain Jay Dee an Max put us on the fish right away! I am 70 years old with a bum arm but still like to fish. Had no problem as they were very help full getting me set up. Water was extremely clear 80 miles out and the fish were very large. We were catching red snapper and amberjack as fast as we got the bait down. Great boat! Extremely fast to get us to the blue water as soon as possible. Makes for more time fishing! Jay Dee knows where the fish are so book a trip. I know I'm going to again. Highly recommend Bandolure Charters. Lots of fun! Lots of fish! He also turned me on to Tyler Childers "Whitehouse Road" inadvertently. Terence

Captain Jay Dee has been fishing in the area since he was very young. He's a very dedicated guide and does his best to put his guests on fish. There's no better feeling than helping someone to get their first catch!
