Target Species

While Red Snapper is our primary target on these trips, there are plenty of other hard-fighting and delicious species we might catch. These include king mackerel, amberjack, grouper, and cobia. These exciting species add even more thrill to our Red Snapper trips, ensuring a memorable and rewarding day on the water—because you never know what you’ll reel in next!

Where We Go

We’ll be heading about 30 miles off the coast to target Red Snapper in deeper waters, usually around artificial reefs, oil rigs, and natural ledges.

These structures offer the perfect habitat for snapper, providing both shelter and an abundant food supply. We’ll typically be bottom fishing using live or dead baits like shrimp, squid, or cut bait. If we spot any birds, weedlines, or schools of bait along the way, we may make a quick stop to target other species, keeping the action going throughout the day.

What's Included

We’ve got everything covered for you! When you arrive at Harborwalk Marina, the boat will be fueled, the rods rigged, and the cooler packed with ice. Your professional, USCG-certified captain will have the bait ready for your Galveston Red Snapper fishing trip and will be there to assist you every step of the way.

Safety is our top priority on all Red Snapper fishing charters. Whether you prefer to be hands-on with rigging bait and handling fish or simply want to enjoy the experience, we’re here to help you create those epic memories while always prioritizing safe handling.

What To Bring

Be sure to come prepared for the weather with comfortable clothing and sun protection. We’ll have a cooler stocked with ice, so bring your waters, snacks, lunch, and other beverages for the day. Your captain will contact you before your trip to go over what to bring in more detail, and we’re always available to answer any questions.
