Texas Deep Sea Fishing – 33' Contender
Taking a trip with Texas Deep Sea Fishing is your best choice if you're interested in deep-sea fishing. Our captains have over 50 years of combined deep-sea fishing experience in Freeport/Galveston waters.

Full limits, full fish boxes, and fond memories are our specialty!
Over the years, Captains Derwyn and Marshall Booker have had the pleasure of running dozens of offshore fishing boats; always looking for the one that provides the safest, fastest, most comfortable ride. One of the best in their opinion is their 33' Contender. With 600 horsepower on the stern, it boasts a top speed of 60 mph and a cruising speed of over 30 mph. It will get you to and from the fishing grounds quickly and comfortably, maximizing your fishing time. Some of its other features include a spacious bow and cockpit for fishing, plenty of comfortable seating for cruising, an enclosed restroom with an electric flush toilet, and awesome electronics including sonar, radar, and Bluetooth sound system.

Texas Deep Sea Fishing operates from a covered dock in a private marina which features secure, paved parking, bathhouses with showers, and an onsite restaurant/bar that can prepare an awesome meal including cooking your fresh catch.
Your Texas Deep Sea Fishing Charter is a special day. From the time you make your reservation until you bid farewell and drive away with a cooler full of fillets, your captain will be in touch to keep you informed and answer questions.

Caught our limit in red snapper, lots of mahi, got into the kingfish, and topped it off with a hammerhead shark that we got to pet before releasing! Captain Marshall and deckhand Sam were great at taking care of our group, including the 8 and 13 year olds.
Thank you for the 5-star review! Not many people can say they’ve petted a hammerhead shark!
We caught the entire ocean. it was a great trip. started the days on Kingfish, caught a mess of beeliners, a few amberjack we let go, and then limited out on snapper. Could not have asked for a better day. Captain Booker and Sam were outstanding. we will go again.
Matthew, thanks for the 5 star review. Those boys laid a beating on the fish that day. Lookin' forward to next time!
this was a trip we have talked ahout before. we did the 8 hr trip!! our captain and 1st mate were awesome. they enertained us. they did so great helping us with the fishing. tried to make sure we got what fishes we wanted to catch. would defintely do this with this captain again!!! this is the best charter next time will use them again but will bring some little fans. but that isnt anything they could help with.
Capt Marshall, as always, puts us on fish all day all 3 days. Dont book with anyone else besides this outfitter. trust me, its a bucket list trip! we caught the whole ocean, every single day. Great Guide. See ya next year!
Thanks for taking time to leave us a good review, Nick. It was a pretty cool three days doing something different each day and chasing different stuff. I’ve got a lot of good memories and bad jokes saved up and will be looking forward to next year.
