The nitty gritty: this isn't a tour. It's definitely a dolphin viewing experience with some side comments about the trip, which is appreciated. If you're looking for an in-depth history and guided tour of the harbor, this ain't it. But, if you're hoping g to just see some awesome dolphins, and get up close, this is your jam.

It's currently letting Galveston Yacht Club re-establish off of the property. It has multiple floors an is outfitting for meeting or all kinds of spaces, classrooms, etc. I haven't had a full tour. Tons of docks - they are being repaired with a goal date of the end of the year I think, maybe sooner. Prime area. I believe the goal is to sell it to a group to further sailing education and participation which is really cool. Great staff.

November 21, 2021…read more AWESOME EXPERIENCE with Captain Clement Jardin!! In honor of my 60th BD on the 23rd...we, "just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...a tale" of 3 gals on the bayou!!! (gilligan's island song reference) The three of us had the best time...Sunday FUNday! It was predicted to be a 40-80% chance of rain ...BUTT, not today Satan...the weather was perfect...hardly any clouds, 75 out and a decent wind...Capt Clement was patient, friendly and informative. I was the captain for about an hour...then I asked my friend to take over...she hesitantly did! We were on a 30 foot sailboat called, "the lift off!" It had plenty of space to sit. While on the water we met several other sailors/captains that Clement knew and we got to talk to from afloat. This outing cost $50 each and we were sailing in Offatt's bayou for 2 hours (maximum is 3 hours but, we all had to pee, so we lost an hour...old bitty's!!! LOL!) All in all, it was a FANTASTIC experience ...very zen. Get this...one friend aboard hadn't been on (any) kind of boat in 38 years (she had been involved in a near fatal boat crash at 14) and today, was the day she conquered that fear of water-crafts. We all learned a lot from Captain Jardin and about ourselves. " and if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again" (christopher cross 1979) For information about this sail...you can reach Captain at this email cjardin@ssbgalveston.org Or Call 409 572 2560 Do it!!!

The engine was erratic, dropping down in speed suddenly at full throttle and increasing speed when moving slowly.

Tips: Come early if you have never operated a boat because you will have to watch a safety video and make a reservation ahead of time!

The guy who answered the phone and took the details of the credit card, gave me a reservation number. We were supposed to get out at 10 am. on September 30 and be back by 12 pm. Before I left my house I called them a few times and then when I was on the road I called him a few times. I sent him a text to which they answered: Your outing today will be delayed due to unexpected situation. Please standby and we will let you know. After that there was silence. There was no office at the address listed on the site or the address where we were supposed to pick up our boat. I was made a fool.

First time fishing! Overall it was cool…read more Once you sign up for the tour they send you a ton of info via email when you book and just before your vist. Go over it all carefully, before you go. Its located right next to Katies Seafood in Galveston, if your familiar. Its more like a check in shack, no bathrooms. We did the 4 hr tour, this was enough time, we went to 3 seperate fishing locations. Boat ride to get out there is pretty slow, so prepare for that. What's nice about this is they provide the boat, rods, bait etc. And you just show up with your fishing license. You can bring your own soft shell cooler with snacks/food. It's a nice family outing. If you are a novice fisherwoman this is for you. There was 2 guys going around giving basic casting info, and They help you get your fish out the water, and store it until you get to shore, then you get the fish directly handed to you. They do seek out tips at the end of the ride. The con is that because you are so close to the next person sitting to you fishing your hook gets caught and easily tangled up with your neighbor. It's good for there business to maximize seats but not great from fisherwoman perspective. Too much interference/competition the people sitting next to you. and there's fisherman on the dock around the boat after the tour that will break down your fish right near the deck for $5.00. Caught 2 catfish, but due to size was not able to keep. Pros and cons for sure.

The fishing reports have stated that this season hasn't been great, but we wanted to wet a hook…read more After multiple stops the boat had caught our red snapper limit. Mostly 18 to 26 inches with a few exceptional fish. Then we began fishing for vermilion snapper having no catch limit. I specifically asked for guidance to catch them from our deck hand. With this info, my son and I caught an additional 16 fish. On the ride back I spoke with many other passengers and they were not given this advice and they had little success with the Vermilion. Lack of communication is a weakness with many businesses, including this one. Such an easy way to significantly improve client experience. Had the boat been communicating with the fisherman during the 4 hour ride out to the fishing area, explaining equipment use and techniques would have significantly reduced line entanglement (which always happens) caused from novice fisherman. The boat was full, so when demand is high, a business does not have to work hard for it's clients. They have lots of room for improvement, but at the end of the day, we caught fish. The prices (for the trip and on the boat) were reasonable and we had fun. My son and I were happy.
