Texas Saltwater Adventures is a full-service charter operation that has been in business for over 20 years. Family owned and operated, it is the charter of choice for professional anglers, corporate groups, and families alike.

You will be fishing aboard a brand new 2024 24’ Long Beach custom boat that is powered by a 150 Suzuki HP engine to get to the hottest fishing spots fast. With space for up to 4 people, this boat will keep you comfortable with a T-Top for shade.

A stable and fast vessel, this is the perfect boat for bay fishing for Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Drum, Sheepshead, and more, as well as traveling off the coastline in search of Spanish Mackerel or Cobia. Take your pick, and get ready for an adventure to remember.

Whether you are a pro or have never held a fishing pole in your life, the friendly crew will guide you through the day, making sure you are comfortable and happy on the water. Whatever your age and experience level, you are welcome aboard to find out just how much fun fishing in Freeport can be.

Rods and reels will be provided for you to use, courtesy of the crew. Please note that everyone over the age of 17 must hold a valid Texas saltwater fishing license in order to fish aboard this boat.
