Based out of Galveston, Galveston Sportfishing wants to create memories with you that’ll last a lifetime.

Come on aboard with the energetic Capt. Benny, whose main priority is to provide a great experience and, of course, get you on some fish. He specializes in various fishing techniques, such as bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, popping, spearfishing, and spinning, depending on the species you’re targeting.

You have the option of 5 to 12-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Shark, King Mackerel, and Red Snapper, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather. Be sure to let the captain know what you’re after, and he’ll be happy to tailor the trip to your desires.

You’ll be fishing from a Dargel 250 HDX boat with enough room for up to 6 anglers to fish comfortably. It also includes an ice box, GPS, and Fishfinder. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip.

Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip and the crew will provide fish cleaning and filleting so you can take your catch with you for your next meal.

The first mate will be on hand during the trip to help you with anything you need, remember that leaving a tip for a job well done is customary and much appreciated. Kids are welcome aboard, so you’re free to make it a family adventure.
