ULTRA FISHING CHARTERS offers exceptional offshore fishing charters out of Freeport, Texas! You'll head out with Captain Al Manica, a USCG licensed captain, who also happens to be a merchant marine officer and a PADI dive-master. He's got over 27 years of professional experience so you're in good hands with Capt. Al and his crew!

Hop aboard his beautiful and comfortable 38' Chris Craft sport-fishing yacht. She's the ideal choice for up to 6 anglers and comes powered by menacing twin 700 HP GM marine engines. This boat is super reliable and secure and contains all the necessary safety and navigational equipment including: EPIRB, GPS, and Fish finder. What's more, she features a fly-bridge, full-sized restroom, kitchen/galley, large main salon, two state rooms and huge open aft deck to fish from.

On your trip, you'll target Red Snapper, Amberjack, Ling, Grouper, Wahoo, King Mackerel, and more. Capt. Al and his deckhand selflessly share their knowledge and skills with you, so you'll not only be able to catch fish successfully but also learn from the pros!

They'll also provide all the gear you need for a successful day and your helpful deckhand is happy to clean, fillet, and bag your catch at the end of the trip. He works hard to make sure you go home happy and tips are appreciated.

Ultra Fishing Charters' number one goal is ensuring you have fun and leave with great memories to last a lifetime!

Half Day Fishing Trip July 4th Weekend

Half Day Trip on July 3, 2021 • 3 adults

Had a very delightful day on a very calm sea, with no breeze, no fish but excellent conversation.  Captain Al and his boat mate Pat gave their all trying different locations and techniques (Trolling and bottom fishing) in hopes of finding the fish that actually wanted to bite!  At each location he could see fish on his Fish Finder but we couldn't entice any to take the bait.  In one instance I saw 2 good size Cobia floating under a patch of seaweed and they just sat there watching the boat pass pack and forth.  Crazy Fish!!!  I can say that every boat in the area seemed to be having the same lack of success and saw no action on any line in the water.  I highly recommended Captain Al's boat for your next charter trip, especially if you are looking for a laid back crew on a sturdy boat with a cabin to escape the sun.  They are accommodating to every type of fishing experience, even if you've never held a rod in your hand!  Always remember.....ANY DAY ON THE WATER IS A GOOD DAY!

Day on the water

7 Hour Trip on March 19, 2021 • 4 adults

Captain Al and deckhand Jeff were super nice and did everything they could to make the day a great experience. It was a bit rough in the morning and the fish did not cooperate as much as we hoped, but that’s fishing. It’s always a fun experience with the family, the weather ended up being fantastic and CAPT Al and Jeff ensured we enjoyed ourselves. I recommend and I will go back in the future.

Half Day with Captain Al

Half Day Trip on April 15, 2022 • 2 adults

By far the friendliest and most attentive Captain I've had the pleasure of fishing with. Made sure we had everything we needed and was constantly asking if he could do anything for us. 10 out of 10 stars!!!

First timers full day deep sea fishing

7 Hour Trip on April 9, 2022 • 6 adults

Overall great price and experience even though we didn't catch any fish to come home with (apparently it's not great fishing season in April). Comfortable boat with all the amenities we needed like a restroom and couch. Will come back again in the summer time when it's apparently peak season. Thanks again!

Although the larger "keepers" were further out yesterday, we still managed to catch our share of snappers and we also gave a grouper a good run for his money until he snapped the line. In either case, it was great taking your group out to have a fun filled day on the water. Y'all are welcome back on the "Carolyn Jane" anytime and please enjoy the attached photos that I took during your trip yesterday...   Thanks again for your business and the tip.

Full day With Captain Al

7 Hour Trip on August 5, 2019 • 4 adults

The morning started off with a rush, scrambling to get out past the morning showers, and it was worth every minute with the experienced Captain Al. He got us right into the fish we were after first thing in the morning and kept us catching em and stacking em up ALL DAY LONG. We completely tagged out two of the three people when we ran out of room in the ice chest. Captain Al and Deckhand Pat were knowledgable, friendly, patient, caring, and went out of their way to keep everyone comfortable and having fun even between the action. This was a once in a lifetime experience we had today, quality family time that was nothing but smiles, laughter, and good times all around. Everyone had a blast catching fish, and we even witnessed a huge pod of dolphins birthing a calf while we rested for lunch which was another amazing experience about this trip. We highly recommend this charter and when we get the opportunity to go again, we will be booking with these guys. DON'T PICK ANYONE ELSE, THESE ARE THE GUYS YOU WANT

Hi William, 

It was great taking you and your family offshore fishing yesterday. It was non-stop catching and FUN!. The video we took of the dolphin giving birth was exceptional and probably a once in a lifetime experience! Just keep me in mind after you post it on Youtube and make a few million...lol,  Thanks again, Capt. Al
