Make the most of your time in Galveston and go fishing with Skippers Charter Service. Captain Jacob will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from their local experience.

Why book with the smaller open center console boats? When you can book with us and have a cabin with a full size bathroom & shower.

There's no guarantee when you're fishing, but just some of the species you can catch around here include Great Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Black Drum, Cobia, Amberjack, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Red Snapper, Lane Snapper, Flounder, Spanish Mackerel, Yellowfin Tuna, Tarpon, and more if you come at the right time of year. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Deep sea, bay and jetty fishing at its best. Why accept part of the experience when you can charter with us for less and have luxury and air conditioning, full size bathroom, shower, and if you are tired and need to take a nap, there is a state room with a bed to do that also. We are a kid-friendly charter company. When weather permits the captain will have the youngsters take the wheel to see what it's like to drive the boat. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. 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.

It's never a bad idea to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Don't hesitate, book your trip, today!

We invested a lot of money and time for this trip and went home with empty hands. Could have been much better experience
Response from Captain

We do apologize that we could not catch the fish that they desired. They booked a bay and jetty charter for 6 hours, we gave them two extra hours of fishing , so we stayed out roughly eight hours. they became somewhat , I don't know of the word to use , but they become somewhat voicy that we would not take them sixty miles offshore and fish for red snapper. They booked a bay and jetty charter for 6 hours not an offshore charter for red snapper, also, red snapper season is closed now, And it would be illegal to catch them, and we explain that to them, but they did not wanna understand that, And keep telling us we did not know what we're talking about. They did catch some fish was just not the desired fish they wanted. That is the reason why you will final charter boats that the captains will take pictures of the fish.
