Only Chance Charters offers top-rated Galveston fishing charters, providing exciting and customized fishing trips for anglers of all skill levels. Whether you’re looking for a private fishing charter in Galveston Bay or an offshore adventure in the Gulf of Mexico, our experienced captain ensures a memorable day on the water. Departing from The Galveston Yacht Marina, we take guests on expertly guided trips using a 26ft Robalo Bay Boat equipped with twin 200HP Mercury engines, delivering a smooth and comfortable ride to prime fishing locations.


We specialize in Galveston inshore fishing, near-coastal excursions, and deep-sea fishing, using techniques such as bottom fishing, cork fishing, trolling, and drift fishing. Anglers have the chance to reel in prized species like redfish, speckled trout, flounder, sheepshead, drum, cobia, jack crevalle, stingray, and sharks. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking for a thrilling challenge or a beginner eager to experience the excitement of fishing in Galveston, our charters are designed to provide an unforgettable day on the water.


Guests can choose from a range of trips, including a 4-hour fishing trip in Galveston, perfect for families and casual anglers, or a 6-hour fishing trip, allowing more time to explore the waters and target bigger fish. For those looking to venture further, our 6-hour near-coastal trip stays within 9 miles of shore, focusing on hard-fighting species like red drum, cobia, jack crevalle, and sharks. From June to September, we also offer a seasonal shark hunt, giving anglers the chance to battle some of the ocean’s most powerful predators.


Every trip requires guests to bring a Texas fishing license, and we provide a direct link for easy purchase. We meet at The Galveston Yacht Marina, where guests can board and prepare for an exciting day on the water. Fishing with Only Chance Charters means expert guidance, high-quality equipment, and access to the best fishing spots in the area. If you're searching for affordable fishing charters in Galveston, a private fishing experience in Galveston Bay, or a family-friendly fishing trip on the Texas Gulf Coast, Only Chance Charters delivers an exceptional experience every time.
