There wasn't a question he couldn't answer, despite his youth. He handled everything for us, since we were inexperienced, unless we wanted to do it ourselves. He thoroughly knows the island waters. My only complain was that he would smoke briefly during transit, which was hard since we had some motion sickness. But I would hire him again.

Monday MLK day was going to be our last day there so I looked for a guide to take them out Monday. Mike was responsive and reasonably priced so I booked it for them. They had a fantastic time!

They had a great experience and will use Mike again!

We caught so many fish we had to put some back in the water. Did the 7am timeframe it takes about 4 hours.

Definitely recommend!

My family recently booked a fishing trip with Just Cast Charters, and unfortunately it was one of…read morethe most disappointing experiences we've had. We specifically paid for a jetty fishing trip, but we never actually went to the jetties. Instead, we were taken to a bay bridge where the fishing was very slow and we didn't catch anything of any significant size. After some time, the guide asked if we wanted to try shark fishing. Since none of us had experience with it and my 5-year-old son was incredibly excited by the idea, we agreed. What nobody explained was that this would involve nearly two hours of simply sitting and watching lines in the water. There was no casting, no holding poles, and very little actual fishing. We were essentially sitting still, hoping something would happen. Looking back, I wish I had spoken up, but I trusted the guide's judgment and assumed there was a plan. Even after an hour with no action, we stayed in the same spot. I felt that a good guide should have recognized the situation and adjusted the approach rather than letting so much of a four-hour charter pass without giving us opportunities to actively fish. The most heartbreaking part was seeing how disappointed my family was. This trip included my dad, mom, husband, and young son, and we were all looking forward to making memories together. Coming back empty-handed was tough, especially after spending so much of the trip inactive. To make matters worse, when we returned to the dock, another boat that had been out on a similar four-hour charter came back with more than 10 large fish. Seeing that made me wonder what had gone wrong with our trip and why our experience was so different. I was also uncomfortable that our captain smoked while on board. Overall, I felt misled about what we had paid for and how our time would be spent. The experience left me feeling crushed and disappointed, especially for my son, who had been so excited for the trip. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Just Cast Charters. I'm sharing this review in hopes that other families can make an informed decision when choosing a charter.

Galveston Party Boats was a great deep sea fishing experience! I was very surprised that some…read moreothers didn't have the same experience. The 12 hr fishing trip starts at 0730 and ends at 1930. Some people in our group had gone before and they recommended showing up at 0530 to get checked in, and make sure we were one of the first people in line to get a prime table in the inside cabin of the boat. Just fyi there's only so much space indoors, if you're late, you'll most likely be sitting on the outside deck where's it's definitely hot during the summer. We went during the end of July and from what I've heard this is prime RED SNAPPER season. Just know that federal law limits red snapper to 2 per person with a minimum length of 16" to keep it. Other fish, for the most part are unlimited depending on their size and type of fish you catch, like vermilion snapper for example. As far as the experience goes, expect a 4 hr boat ride out to sea, 4 hrs of fishing, then 4 hr boat ride back to Galveston. This is a full day event. They let you bring food and non alcoholic drinks on board as long as you use a small soft cooler or backpack only. No big hard coolers or alcohol allowed. Luckily they also have a grill onboard with a variety of snacks, burgers, hot dogs, quesadillas, drinks, and beer for sale. That double bacon cheeseburger was SO GOOD! After you get back to Galveston, there are guys waiting to clean/filet your fish for a small price if you want as well. Enjoy, I'll definitely be back again!
