Fishing Charters Galveston offers bay & jetty trips, offshore, Red Snapper and Dolphin Trips that you together with your family and friends will surely enjoy! Operated by Captain William Berg this charter is fun and educational, and most of all productive!

Your captain for the day will do his best to provide you with the style of fishing that you are looking for. It does not matter if you are looking to fill the freezer and put fish on the table or want the thrill of hooking some of the more sporting species, they sure know the areas to look for. Most days there is time to do both.

There will be times when your captain might suggest a specific species to fish for or how to fish for the species, he knows should be biting to give you the best opportunity to hook quality fish.

The full day charters allow enough time to try a couple assorted styles of fishing to increase your odds at multiple species. Just by being on the water for a full day, your odds of a great catch improve because the captain has time to change locations, or fishing techniques and go further if the fishing has changed from the day before.

While many of the species in the gulf are suitable for the table (everyone’s taste is different) there are other species that are more for sport and put up a good fight. Anything is possible on a full day trip – King mackerel, cobia, dolphin fish, barracuda, bonito, wahoo, amberjack, trigger fish, flounder, red snapper, Vermillion snapper, lane snapper, grouper and more. We cannot guarantee what fish will be biting, these are all species you might catch by trusting your captain to know what is biting the best.

Your rods, reels, tackle and bait are all inclusive in the fee. You will also have a large icebox (with ice), drinks (water) on board. Expect an excellent service with a great attitude as you go along the trip because the captain wants you to have an awesome experience. He will even clean your catch after the trip.

We took three graduating teenage boys out for a blue water fishing adventure, and Captain Jim Berg delivered an unforgettable experience. All the boys caught fish, including a shark. The two first mates were fantastic, ensuring bait was always on the hooks and the hooks stayed in the water. They also provided excellent advice to the boys on landing their catches, which is quite different from lake fishing. The four adults thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride as well. It was our first time venturing into blue water, and it turned out to be a wonderful trip for everyone. We’d love to come back. A big thanks to Captain Jim Berg and the crew!
