Texas Coast Fishing Charters
Texas Coast Fishing Charters
Texas Coast Fishing Charters is run and operated by Captain Cody Phillips, specializing in inshore and offshore fishing trips out of Galveston, TX. Cody has been on the water ever since he was five, and will happily share what he has learned with his guests. Anglers of all shapes and sizes are welcome aboard, no matter if you’re a novice or pro. Family trips are very much encouraged, as they are loads of fun for everyone.
You will be fishing aboard a 25’ Nautic Star saltwater fishing boat that’s powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine. It has all of the necessary safety and navigation equipment you’ll need for a productive trip, along with a live well for storing bait. There’s plenty of space for up to six people to be able to fish without getting in each other’s way.
If you’re interested in exploring the inshore waters, Captain Cody can take you fishing for Redfish, Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum in the bays. Otherwise, you can go offshore in search of fish that can’t be found so close to shore.
Rods, reels, and tackle are included in the price of any trip, and Captain Cody will be happy to clean and fillet anything you catch after the trip. You will need to bring along a valid Texas saltwater fishing license, and a pair of polarized sunglasses is highly recommended for the best experience.

Fishing, Fun, and First-Class Vibes with Captain Cody
Went out on a fishing trip with Captain Cody and had an awesome time. The weather was great, the boat was comfortable, and Cody really knows his stuff. We were on the fish quick and stayed busy the whole time. He made everything easy—baiting hooks, giving tips, even helping us reel in the big ones when it got wild. Whether you’re a beginner or you’ve done this before, Cody makes sure everyone’s having fun and catching fish. Super chill, professional, and just a good time all around. Definitely booking with him again next time we’re in town. Highly recommend! 🎣💯

A Great Captain
I will book with Captain Phillips again. What an awesome time my family had plus it was my daughter’s 15th birthday and my sister birthday tomorrow. Captain Phillips knows his craft he was always on high ALERT for any danger approaching. This Captain gets heavily involved with your ability to fish by helping with retrieving the fish 🎣 of your pole especially when you in trouble. We had a great time. I rate this Captain a 10 out of 10 and YES I would use him again and recommend his services. The Williams Family of Houston, Texas

Fun day with my wife.
I wanted my wife to catch something bigger than a pan fish, Captain Cody made that happen. We were not getting fish right away but he kept trying until we did. My wife caught the biggest and the smallest fish, but I caught 8 different species of fish which I was happy with. I would go with him again no doubt.

:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Fishing with Captain Cody!!
We had an incredible time with Captain Cody Phillips of Texas Coasts Charters! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. Not only did he put us on the fish, but he also coached us through reeling them in like a pro. We even caught a venomous fish—who would have thought?—but Cody immediately warned us and handled it safely. His knowledge of the water and marine life was impressive; he could identify fish before they were even fully out of the water! We also caught stingrays, and he treated them with such care and respect. This trip exceeded our expectations, and we’re already planning our next adventure with Captain Cody. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience, book with Texas Coasts Charters—you won’t regret Thank you so much, The Red-Wolff family!
