Captain Pedro was awesome! We started out by checking some crab lines that he had placed the day before. We, myself, my wife and daughter,  had to pull the traps in, empty the crabs and throw the traps back in. That was so much fun and we caught quite a few blue crabs and stone crabs. We then went fishing and were able to catch a 30” Red fish, sea trout and several more species. We fished for several hrs and most of the time was NOT travel time, unlike most other charters Ive been on. Captain Pedro baited the hooks, but we cast the lines outs and hooked the fish ourselves. When it was near time to go in, we checked the crab cages again and got several more blue crabs. We ended up with more than two dozen crabs. Once back at the dock, Captain Pedro filleted our fish amd showed me how to easily clean the crabs. He then told us the best way to cook both fish and crab. We had never done a crab boil before, so we followed his instructions and it was so easy to clean them and we made a delicious crab boil. It was so good! We’re gonna cook the fish tomorrow night and Im sure they will be delicious as well. Highly recommend this charter and Captain Pedro!

The experience with Captain Pedro was Top notch! We started the day with him meeting us at the front of the dock and getting us loaded up quickly! He got us loaded onto the boat and out on the water quickly! Although he had live shrimp he took us on a short boat ride to catch live bait! In 20 minutes we caught more than 20 bait fish. This was a great way to start the experience for the kids! He took us to our first location where we unfortunately didn’t have any luck! But captain Pedro was on the phone/comms reaching out to other charters and finding new places for us to go! At our second location it took us less than 10 minutes to catch our first fish! Afterwards it erupted! We caught 7 red fish all over 35” and two over 40”! It was an awesome experience. Pedro was super helpful in every facet of the experience! He was great with the kids, was active the entire time keeping as many lines in the water for the maximum time possible, and even filleted all the fish for us! He even connected us with a taxidermist to get our largest fish mounted! Overall it was an incredible experience and we will be booking with SeaPlay again very soon!!!

We booked with SeaPlay Sportfishing hoping to get in on the September bull red run, expecting some redfish action along with other game. The weather had fishing in Galveston acting a little odd, but Capt. Pedro worked hard to keep us on the bite. We caught a few trout and loaded up on mullet, which doubled as bait for later in the trip.

The highlight of the day came when the only kid in our group landed a sandbar shark — a memory none of us will forget! Even with tricky conditions, Capt. Pedro kept us engaged, positive, and moving the trip forward. His energy and effort made the charter worthwhile, and we appreciated how he made sure we still had a great time on the water. Can’t wait to come back and chase the big reds again when conditions line up!

We went on an afternoon shark hunt with captain Pedro and would highly recommend. It was two adults and 2 boys (age 10) and the boys were the ones who we really booked this for. Pedro was awesome with the boys took the time to explain things to them as well as helped them especially real in the big ones and yet the kids still felt like they did it all themselves and were very proud as we took home 2- 6ft sharks (Capt Pedro gave us the option to keep them or to keep fishing but we chose to keep each of the boys sharks) which filled up the cooler! We started the trip with a quick but smooth trip to a hot spot of sand trout, Pedro had the lines all ready and all 4 of us couldn’t even drop the lines to the bottom before we were hooked up with a catch! We each caught multiple back to back for live bait. After that we took a further ride out to a spot where it felt like almost instantly we were seeing the sharks. Within 30 mins maybe even less we were hooked up with the first big shark and boy did they put up a fight! We hooked up a few big ones and were amazed at the spinners and how they would jump 4-5 ft out of the water to try and break off the lines! Pedro helped make sure that both boys put in the work and tired themselves out but still had enough help and could call the catch their own. Both of us parents helped some and got some great pictures and videos of the catches. It was an exciting and a thrill for sure and afterwards Pedro cleaned them up and made sure we left with tons of shark meat for multiple meals!! Overall it was well worth it and the kids have stories for a lifetime while the adults made memories and also were taught a lot about the fishing and the difference in sharks and how the catching regulations for each of them. Definitely recommend and might have to book again on our next trip down to Galveston in search of even a bigger one!! Thanks Capt Pedro for the awesome time and everything you did to make the trip enjoyable for us and the boys they haven’t stopped talking about it since!

Sea Play Charters gave us a day to remember! Pedro was the definition of a top-tier guide — patient, upbeat, and determined to make sure everyone had their moment. Our 71-year-old grandma came with one goal: to reel in a big one. Pedro made sure she did just that, helping her land a gorgeous Red Drum that made her whole trip! Once the fish started biting, it was nonstop excitement — sand trout, stingray, a fine tooth shark, and an unforgettable 100-pound lemon shark. Pedro’s positivity and care made the day feel special for everyone on board!
