Hi, I'm Captain Mark Allen. I'm a father to 4 wonderful boys who love to fish and be outdoors. I grew up fishing in Galveston bay with my dad. I always loved to fish. What once was a hobby turned into an addiction. I love to fish. I live 8 min from the boat ramp. I can make it from one of my furthest fishing spots to home in 25min( that's with loading the boat on the trailer). When I'm not on a charter, I'm out on water finding fish and learning more about fishing so I can pass it on. My favorite thing about being a fishing guide is getting to share my love for fishing with people. If you book with me I promise you will have a great time.

Great experience for adults and kids!
Half Day Trip – East Galveston Bay on July 8, 2026 • 5 adults
Captain Mark gave our family an amazing fishing charter experience! Our group included a senior, two adults, and two children (ages 7 and 9), and he did a fantastic job making sure everyone was comfortable, engaged, and having fun. He met each of us at our own level of experience, was patient, respectful, kind, and professional throughout the trip. We highly recommend Captain Mark to anyone looking for a great fishing charter and would definitely book with him again!

Captain Mark went above and beyond to get us on the fish.
Family / Beginners Trip/ Boat ride - 5:00 PM on June 13, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child
Captain Mark went well above and beyond the time we paid for. He made sure my son caught a fish, listened attentively to me, my father-in-law, and my brother-in-law for three hours, and took us to multiple locations. He kept up great conversation, was incredibly patient with all of us, and even let us bring whatever we wanted on the boat. He’s an outstanding captain. Thank you, Mark!

Mission accomplished
Family / Beginners Trip/ Boat ride on April 15, 2026 • 2 adults
My son finally caught fish big enough to keep! Thanks to this experience, he's changed from hating fishing to asking when we can go again. I'm incredibly thankful for Mark, this was the highlight of our trip!
