Captain Mark Allen

Evening Bay Trip – Crystal Beach2 adults

Captain Mark was a super guide, and a great guy as well! He showed us how to cast and catch and reel in and made the outing a lot of fun! He connected well with my daughter, even though she was hesitant at first and didn’t know what to do. By the end of the trip she was casting beautifully and catching fish! He had a good boat and good equipment!Thank you, Captain Mark.

    Great experience for adults and kids!

    Half Day Trip – East Galveston Bay • 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 • 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 • 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!
