Galveston offers up a huge variety of angling opportunities: battling gigantic Tuna offshore, hooking huge Red Snapper over the reefs, and exploring shallow inshore waters for Flatfish and Redfish. Get Hooked Charters Galveston offers guests the chance to experience all of this and more!

With a fleet of 5 full-time vessels and a motley crew of friendly, local captains behind the helm, this charter company goes above and beyond to make sure that no guest misses out on their dream angling adventure. From newbies and families to seasoned fishermen, everyone is welcome aboard!

USCG-licensed captain Mike Short started the business in 2007, wanting to put his years of experience to good use. Now, he works alongside a whole host of other experienced captains to offer a variety of adventures exploring Galveston’s waters. One thing’s for certain: they all can’t wait to show you ‘round the magnificent fishing grounds of your choice.

Step aboard the charter company’s 39’ Contender, and you’ll have all of Galveston’s prolific at your fingertips. This boat is equally adept at cruising inshore waters as she is at travelling up to a whopping 100 miles offshore. With room for up to 6 guests, as well as top-quality navigational and safety gear, she’s the perfect choice for a family adventure or fishing battle with your buddies.

Depending on the trip you opt for, you’ll have the chance to target a whole range of famous species. Inshore, it’s all about the Texan trio of Flounder, Speckled Trout, and Redfish. These trips are a great option for newbies and families. More seasoned anglers can opt for a bluewater offshore adventure, or even travel overnight for the chance to hook some gigantic Yellowfin Tuna.

Your captain will make sure you’re decked out with top-quality rods and reels, as well as bait and tackle. All you need to bring are snacks, drinks, and a fishing license. Get Hooked Charters Galveston are ready and waiting to show you just what these waters have to offer!

It was great! We started promptly on time, and were lucky enough to be catching sharks within 2 hours of leaving the docks. The captain was looking for options, found out about some mahi in state waters, so we changed course and caught 10 of them! Highly recommend

State Water Close Offshore AM

Half day close offshore with Captain Kevin.

VERIFIED

Had a wonderfully time. Kevin was knowledgeable and friendly. The Captain knew the area and made sure we got good areas to work. 3 people chartered and we all caught plenty of fish including a shark over 5 feet. We all got to catch and fight large fish and it was an exiting experience. Perfect for a graduation trip or break from everyday life. Would recommend.
