If you're in the market for a day to remember, look no further than 3rdCoast Charters. Your guide for the day is Captain Matthew, allowing you to benefit from years of local experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Flounder, Redfish, and who knows what else! During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You'll find yourself aboard a 22' Majek bay boat with capacity for 3 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with 3rdCoast Charters is just a click away.

An Unforgettable Fishing Experience!
6 Hour Trip – Galveston Bay Complex on March 15, 2025

I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing charter with 3rd Coast Charters and it was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we boarded the boat, the Captain made us feel welcome and ensured we were comfortable. The captain was knowledgeable about the local waters and took us to some amazing fishing spots. We caught a variety of fish, and the thrill of reeling them in was an incredible experience. The captain was attentive, providing tips and assistance whenever needed, which was very appreciated as I am a beginner. I highly recommend 3rd Coast Charters to anyone looking for a top-notch fishing experience. I can’t wait to book my next trip!

Great Fishing, Good Vibes and Awesome Tunes!!
6 Hour Trip – Galveston Bay Complex on April 1, 2025

We had an amazing time with our fishing guide! He was super friendly and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. His knowledge of the area and fishing techniques was top-notch, which made it easy to learn and enjoy the trip. Plus, the music he played as we headed out and came back in added such a great vibe to the whole day. It was the perfect mix of fishing, fun, and good tunes. Highly recommend!

Majek boat was well equipped and fast. Captain Matt showed up on time and we headed out early to our fishing spot. He put us on some cold weather trout to 26". Great trip and we will definitely charter him again.
