This was my 16 y/o son’s dream. Donnie and Brad were wonderful. Brad got us on the fish quickly. He was very professional and understanding with our novice fishermen. We caught a lot of fish!

We had an awesome time. Brad was very knowledgeable about where to go to keep the excitement in fishing! He kept us catching the whole trip! This made the trip very much worth the money! We caught a 26” trout and a 150-200 lb stingray!! If you haven’t been out in the ocean fishing, I recommend this company. Very professional, knowledgeable and super nice!

I have been on several guided fishing trips and this is one of the best so far! Captain Brad knew where to find the ‘honey hole’ for trout, sheephead and redfish. We caught one every 15-20 minutes. Then we went shark fishing and got a few small ones and a 5 footer. Was very fun! Well worth the money!

We had a wonderful trip, stated out at the jetty catching trout, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel & black drum. We then moved out in open water and caught black tipped shark, tripletail! We had a blast we will definitely book this charter again! The guys that helped us on the boat (Brad & Matt) were great very knowledgeable!

We drove down from out of town and must say, our fishing trip with fishseaplay.com was amazing. Mr. Donnie got things set up with zero hassle or issues, and when out fishing Captian Brad and First Mate Matt were professional, knew what they were doing, and where the fish were. Expertise at it’s finest

We can’t wait to book another trip, we could not have asked for a better experience! The captain knew exactly where to go, to get the most and biggest fish. My daughter caught a large shark, which was the highlight of our trip.

Weather was questionable until the morning of the trip. But we were able to go out and it was awesome! Started raining and the waves built up the last hour or 2, I think most captains would of said we are going back. But Capt. Brad was super cool and would’ve stayed out until our time was up, if we wanted to stay out. Point is even though the weather wasn’t favorable we all caught tons of fish and had a blast making memories. I’d totally do it again.

Mother nature didn’t make it easy on finding fish.wind &waves made it a bit of a challenge so we didn’t catch as much as we would have liked but the captain did his best and we did catch a few and we had a blast!

Great boat, wide beam, easy to fish from. Donnie and Matt were top notch to fish with. After some timid bites from trout we had a good time reeling in sharks, threw some large ones back!

We had a great time. Caught a lot of fish. Captain Brad took to a great place out of the high winds. As soon as we anchored, we were catching fish (redfish, black drum and sheepshead). Limited out on big redfish and sheepshead)

We came town for a work meeting and booked this trip as a way to enjoy and area none of us had much experience with. We all enjoy fishing and we’re excited about this experience. Captain Brad did an amazing job keeping us on fish, and well entertained in the process. They were very accommodating and made sure we were getting everything we’d hoped for. We can’t wait to come back for another trip. Well done, guys!

We had a great time. It was exciting to catch a variety of fish. My husband and I got a little nauseous, so I would suggest plenty of sleep, water and Dramamine before hand lol but we had a great time. The best fishing experience so far and we will use this company the next time we book a charter in the area!

It was our first time salt water fishing and Captain Donnie was courteous and accommodating setting up the jetty trip for my son, grandson and granddaughter. The boat was awesome and Captain Brad worked great with the kids, was so helpful, patient and very knowledgeable of the waters, the equipment and the fish. Caught some fish and finished up with grandson catching a small shark! Exciting! Fun! We loved it and will for sure call SeaPlay next time we’re in Galveston.

The Sea Play Sport Fishing Trip was a very nice trip. The boat was in very good shape. We travelled over to the Bolivar and fished near the Jetty. We caught Sheephead and Sand Trout. We ran out of live bait after about 3 hours and this ended our fishing around the jetties. We then tried to catch big Fish in the Bay (off of cut bait mullet) This was fruitless as the big fish were not biting. The crew was good, supportive, engaging and fun. My biggest critique is that the cost of the trip was $500 but we had to come up with an additional $150 for the crew. I suggest that an estimated expected tip should be encluded on the webpage. That way the customer is not surprised about this additional cost.

Took several of by sons out for a day of fishing and had a blast. Crew made us feel right at home and gave us a most enjoyable trip. We caught fish and had a good time. Scheduled a trip for the rest of my sons two weeks later. Really appreciate the fact that the crew cleaned our catch! We were treated like royalty.
