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.
