Galveston Charter Fishing
Galveston Charter Fishing
Galveston Charter Fishing is located in Galveston and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters. We have 3 boats in our fleet, up to 38’.
Come on aboard with Captain Kip, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, drift fishing, and spinning, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 5 to 12-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Black Drum, King Mackerel, Snapper, Cobia, Jack Crevalle, and Mahi Mahi, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.
You’ll be fishing from a 33’ Bertram boat. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water.
Please keep in mind you’ll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so.
There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated. The boat will be supplied with bottled water, feel free to bring beverages and snacks of your choice. Be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or need additional guidance.
Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.
Book your trip now and hit the water with Charter Fishing Galveston.

5 Hour Trip – Bay and Jetty (6 Men)
5 Hours Bay and Jetty Trip
What a great day! Captain Jim did everything he could to make sure we had a great trip (even though we had a kiddo throw up on the boat!) and Ryan and Jacob worked really hard to put us on the fish and make sure we had baits in the water. We had to abandon our first spot due to it being too rough for the 6 and 7 year old on the trip, but not before we landed a nice-sized jack! Then we went to a calmer spot where we hauled in some catfish, a nice spinner shark and had a chance at a couple more sharks. Everyone was super patient and encouraging for the kids, which is exactly what we hoped for - they even let them "drive" the boat on the way in and gave us extra time to try and make sure we caught as many as we could. All said, fishing is fishing and is never predictable, but even though we didn't land huge amounts of fish, everyone had a blast and mentioned it as one of the highlights of our trip. Lots of crews can put you on the known spots and catch you a few fish, but I can't imagine anyone provides a better experience. We hope to be back someday!

14 hour blue water
Overall great experience crew was very nice and helpful, patient with new and even sick fisherman, caught a lot of red snapper and shark unfortunately snapper season wasn’t upon us, and king fish we’re late on the season but the crew tried their hardest to find us fish to fight such as shark, ling, and snapper, crew were great company the entire time great sense of humor! Would recommend but definitely do research on seasons and what’s biting on your trip!

Charter Fishing at its BEST!
We feel extremely lucky that the family at the beach rental next door had used this Captain last summer. We were able to book this charter on short notice thanks to the referral. The boat exceeded our expectations. The crew members were helpful and friendly, answering all our questions and anticipating our needs. We could not have picked a friendlier group. We will see you in late August.

Our family had a great time catching Sharks. Only advice I have is if you’re bringing family and friends be sure to pick up motion sickness pills. 3 of 8 of us was sea sick. They all are okay one of them caught 3 Sharks while he was sick. Ain’t stopping him from catching them. Highly recommended. I’ll book them again whenever I come back this way.
