With Captain Danny Dorman at the help, Coastal Charters knows exactly what it takes to show you an incredible day on Port Aransas' world-famous waters!  Whatever your experience level, Capt. Danny and his crew can't wait to have you aboard and will take you to the best spots around for that picture-perfect moment.

The crew of Coastal Charters is made up of extremely friendly and experienced anglers, who they pride themselves on paying attention to every single guest who comes aboard. They especially love teaching kids and beginners everything about the different fish species available in this area, as well as fishing techniques.

You'll begin your adventure on board a 36' Twin Vee catamaran, originally built in 2006 and powered by twin 300 HP Suzuki engines. This speedy beauty is painted in the area's national colours and can fit up to 6 anglers. Bring along the whole family, or your best angling buddies!

She's decked out with a GPS, radar, and VHF radio for connection with the USCG, as well as an excellent fish finder to help you locate the best fishing spots. She also contains all the necessary safety equipment you'll need, including life jackets, a life raft, CPR-trained crew, and EPIRB. In addition, this vessel is equipped with a full toilet and bed and is wheelchair accessible.

Capt. Danny and his crew will take you offshore fishing in the rich waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where species such as Mahi Mahi, Blue and White Marlin, Tuna varieties, and Amberjack come to play. You'll also be targeting Wahoo, Mackerel, Cobia, Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Rainbow Runner, and that local favorite, Red Snapper, depending on the seasonality. Your crew will show you the best techniques to use to hook your dream catch.

A first mate will be present on each trip, helping you at all times. Rods, reels, tackle, and a variety of bait will be provided for you, too. Just grab a fishing license and hop aboard Coastal Charters for an incredible adventure!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 30, 20264 adults2 children

We had a great day on Texas Bet with Captain Tyler and first mate Joey! They kept us on fish all day. They kept the big boys challenged and the little kids engaged all day. We snagged king mackerel, vermillion snapper, a shark, and filefish (possibly a junior state record)!
