My family and I had an amazing fishing experience with Island Adventures! It was me and my 8 year old sons first time salt water fishing, and first time as a family charter fishing. My husband, son and I all caught multiple fish, saw dolphins swimming right next to the boat, and brought home fish to cook! Our captain was excellent! He focused on helping our son become a true angler, teaching him new techniques and tips! Even taught my experienced fisherman husband a thing or two! The entire trip was awesome…we are so thankful for the cherrished memories made. Island Adventures went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations. We will definitely use them again in the near future!

my sons (both teenagers) and my friend joined me for a 4 hour trip on the Gulf. they warned us of rough water but insisted we would be fine.  either way, took us to several spots on the jettys where captain Zach took charge. baiting hooks with shrimp and playing excellent music while netting massive sheepshead, red fish and black drum.  he kept extra rods baited and in the water to keep us on the bite the entire time. we moved to a few spots when the bite slowed and we caught over 30 fish on our 4 hour trip.  filet’s and all. captain Zach had a great attitude and was having just as much fun as we were. 

absolutely great time.

would highly recommend sailing with these guys.

Captain Zach is top notch. Excellent equipment, and truly takes your desire to catch fish as a personal mission.  He put us on the fish I wanted to catch. I caught my limit of sheep head, puppy drum, along with red fish and huge black drum. This was fishing until your arms can’t fight anymore.  Fantastic guy to fish with, he truly takes your success as a personal mission. Then when finished and completely shot from catching so many fish I got to rest while he continued to bust his ass and clean all the fish for another 2 hours. Total attention to doing a great job. All bagged up and helped me get my catch to my cooler in my truck. This is who you want if you want the best in Galveston to fish with. Take my word on that.

I am thinking that Zach had some magic bait for us because there was another boat fishing off to the side of us and while they were there, they caught one fish and we caught 12 or 14 in the same time period.  Zach helped us keep hooks in the water, quickly removing fish, rebaiting and even rerigging when we “caught” the occasional rock at the jetty.  He was happy and cheerful the entire trip.  Great guy, wouldn’t hesitate to fish with him again.  We caught 7 really nice keeper sheepshead and 5 or 6 other species that went back in the water .  What a great fishing memory.

If you want a enjoyable time with your family and friends, Captain Eric is your man. He was smiling the moment we walked up, grateful for you being on his boat, and excited to show you what the waters of Galveston had to offer. He put us on fish, guided those with little experience, encouraged those with experice and was excited for each as they reeled in their catches. A dudes dude, his knowlegde was evident and his desire for you to have the trip of a lifetime shown through in his service to you. We not only caught fish and had a great time, but gained a friend in the process. Having been on many charters out of Galveston, by far my favorite I’ve ever been on.
