There's a fish with your name on it in Galveston and Ultimate Luxury Fishing Experience will help you catch it!

These waters are known for Amberjack, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Cobia, Flounder, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Blue Marlin, Redfish, Mako Shark, Red Snapper, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself!

During the trip you might be spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. James can also have you kite fishing.

Ultimate Luxury Fishing Experience is a kid-friendly charter service, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to keep up those energy levels!

Your vessel for the day is a 48' Sportfishing with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Rods, reels, and tackle are included, 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.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

Before coming aboard, it may be required 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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks available on board.

Ultimate Luxury Fishing Experience will make it easy for you to go fishing in Galveston. So, how about booking that trip?

    Luxurious fishing boat

    4 Hours Bay & Jetty (SPECIAL) Price - 1:00 PM on October 20, 2026 • 4 adults

    The 51-footer boat was luxurious, impressive & clean & had a cuddy cabin with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom & a kitchenette. The Captain was very helpful & courteous. He found good spots to fish & helped us with the fishing reels & bait. We caught some fish. We'd love to do it again sometime in the future. We all had fun. Recommended.

    Incredibly disappointing 😞

    5 Hour/Bay&Jetty Best fishing trip - 1:30 PM on September 19, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Caught nothing. In 5 hours of fishing we literally touched a fishing rod only once. The guy fished by himself the whole time. I also find it hard to believe that the pics on the website were caught on this boat. I would not recommend this to a friend.
