About Your Trip

Climb aboard with our Captain and see what the deep waters off the coast of Galveston have to offer! The deep waters in the Gulf of Mexico are an excellent place to chase after some big game, and on this trip you'll be going extra far to get even more sizable fish! Head out on a weekday and you'll get a generous discount on this offshore excursion.

On this 9-hour trip, our Captain will take you up to 40 miles offshore to target impressive Blacktip Shark, Cobia, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Mangrove Snapper, and Red Snapper. To attract these picture-worthy fish you'll be using a variety of techniques including light to heavy tackle, live bait, bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing or deep dropping. Just let the Captain know what you want to catch and he'll get you set up with the best method! The fishing starts an hour and a half after leaving the dock, leaving you with a full 6 hours to try out as many of these techniques as you want!

On this trip you'll be fishing aboard our massive 42’ Delta sportfisher that can hold an impressive 18 people. Powered by twin 160 HP Caterpillar engines, this vessel will cut through the surf like butter and smoothly get you to the deep waters. It comes with GPS, Fishfinder, a Flybridge, and an Ice Box to store your catches.

We will provide all rods, reels and tackle. All you need to bring is a valid Texas Fishing License with a saltwater stamp. You can also bring food and drink of your choice on board (no glass). This trip can host up to 18 people and is for anglers of all skill levels, so don't hold back on inviting friends!
