GULF COAST YAKER’S 🦈 (Bolivar Pen) 

We booked a beachside shark fishing trip had a great overall experience, even though the sharks just weren’t cooperating that day. The only fish we ended up catching were bait fish, but we know that’s the nature of fishing—especially when targeting sharks. The guide was knowledgeable, professional, and worked hard throughout the trip. They made sure we had everything we needed, explained the process, and did everything they could to give us the best chance at success. The setup was well organized, and we still enjoyed spending time on the beach and experiencing something different. While we would have loved to land a shark, we understand there are no guarantees in fishing. We’d gladly book with them again and hope for better luck next time.

We had a great time in Boliver with Scott. All of his gear was top notch and he was very accommodating. Was originally a little weary of booking a surf trip but we had a large group, and I would totally book again.

The captain and his crew were very nice and knowledgeable. We caught a huge stingray and a baby shark. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book a trip!

Highly recommend this if you want a full day of fishing at the beach. Learned a lot about shore fishing and the kids loved catching the sharks.

Scott was professional. Worked his tail off the entire time. Super knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Can’t wait for the next trip!!

great trip, they pulled up behind our house, got a nice sized bullshark. Will book again next time im back on boilvar.

Gulf Coast Yaker's has plenty of photos on their site of customers catching sharks for a reason. They know exactly what they're doing and all of those photos are proof of it! Our group witnessed it first hand too and we were all in disbleif when we caught our first catch (a 4 ft shark) within less than 2 hours. BTW we only booked it for 4 hours so they are very efficient at what they do. Also, out of those 4 hours booked we really only had 3 hours because we were late due to us not knowing about the ferry we had to take to get there from Galveston. Even then, Gulf Coast Yaker's gave us the extra hour without even asking. That was very generous and professional of them, but it's easy for them to do because they're just doing what they LOVE to do. So to them it's not really work at all. You can tell they are genuinely passionate about fishing and just want to see their customers happy and having a good time. Our group had an AMAZING time andtill can't believe we caught our fist shark and we're looking forward to doing this again soon! We would defintely recommend them! Pros: - Professionalism (they know what they're doing) - They'll keep you safe (as long as you follow their directions) - Great for family and friends (no fishing experience required, that's what they are there for) - Quick to respond - Very easy going - Fair prices Cons: - None

Love fishing 🎣 and know that not every time will you catch but we were able to catch a sandbar shark 🦈 that was 6 feet and around 150 pounds. Steven had everything setup before we arrived, fishing poles already ready, chairs, fire pit, and drone/kayak to take bait out far. Great experience and will do again soon. Also was able to catch a red drum that was around 40 pounds.

just as the reviews say this guy is the best host/fisherman all he cares about is giving us what we want which is the whole experience for our family to have the best time possible. he does exactly that and more couldnt thank him enough he also kept us safe gave great advice for sure coming back. this is way better than getting a boat!!!! caught some big fish!
