Your Fishing Charter

Taking a trip with Texas Deep Sea Fishing is your best choice if you’re interested in deep-sea fishing. Our captains have over 50 years of combined deep-sea fishing experience in Freeport/Galveston waters. They have thousands of days on the Gulf of Mexico in pursuit of Red Snapper, Wahoo, Cobia, Mahi-Mahi, Grouper, Amberjack, Tuna, Shark, King Mackerel, and many others. Full limits, full fish boxes, and fond memories are our specialty!

Over the years, Captains Derwyn and Marshall Booker have had the pleasure of running dozens of offshore fishing boats; always looking for the one that provides the safest, fastest, most comfortable ride. One of the best in their opinion is their 33’ Contender. With 600 horsepower on the stern, it boasts a top speed of 60 mph and a cruising speed of over 30 mph. It will get you to and from the fishing grounds quickly and comfortably, maximizing your fishing time. Some of its other features include a spacious bow and cockpit for fishing, plenty of comfortable seating for cruising, an enclosed restroom with an electric flush toilet, and awesome electronics including sonar, radar, and Bluetooth sound system.

The crew’s primary goal is always to provide you with a safe, pleasurable, and productive day on the water. Season after season, they’ve made this goal a reality. Your captain will assist with equipment, techniques, and photos while at sea as well as processing your catch at the end of the trip.

Texas Deep Sea Fishing operates from a covered dock in a private marina which features secure, paved parking, bathhouses with showers, and an onsite restaurant/bar that can prepare an awesome meal including cooking your fresh catch.

Your Texas Deep Sea Fishing Charter is a special day. From the time you make your reservation until you bid farewell and drive away with a cooler full of fillets, your captain will be in touch to keep you informed and answer questions.
