    If you’re looking for a spectacular fishing trip, this is the one to choose. Captain Phill possesses a rare blend of intellectual depth and interpersonal warmth. Hecwas extraordinarily patient with our 10 year old, allowing him to assist in tbe filleting of the fish, shared a personal story about God with two of our older sons, and secured my safety aboard the boat, while I tried to reel in a large stingray. He even worked around the poor weather and allowed us to reschedule our trip. You’d be blessed to spend a few hours with Phill, aboard his catamaran.

    Awesome trip with Captain Phillip!

    3 Hour Trip – Aquatic Life Tour2 adults

    Had an awesome time on this trip! We caught a really fun variety, including a couple different types of catfish, a stingray, and even a small shark. Captain Phillip Fruge was super nice, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. Catching so many different things kept the trip exciting the entire time. Definitely a memorable experience and I’d happily book with him again!

    Phillip showed us a wonderful time. Very accommodating and knowledgeable. I originally booked it for a morning trip but he recommended a sunset cruise which was definitely the right call. We even got to see a firework show on the water. Thank you for a wonderful time and a everlasting memory!

    Phil was exceptional. He patiently and skillfully guided our family of five who have almost no fishing experience. He even grew up here so he knows the island and these waters by heart. We will almost certainly book him again if we ever return.

What's biting with Sail Padre Catamaran in Port Isabel

September is all about Flounder fishing on the flats. But that doesn't mean that Reds, Specks, Snook, and Tarpon are slowing down. Snapper fishing is still hot, hot, hot.
