Galveston Tuna Fishing Charters (Overnight)
On our Tuna Fishing Charters, we embark on an exciting journey over 100 miles off the Galveston coast for an unforgettable deep-sea adventure. Departing in the afternoon, we fish our way through the sunset along the Texas coast, targeting some of the most prized game fish. Throughout the afternoon, we focus on grouper, kingfish, mahi, big snapper, wahoo, and more. As night falls, we shift gears and switch our tactics to target tuna as they feed.
Target Species
Our primary targets are Yellowfin Tuna and Blackfin Tuna. Yellowfin are highly sought after for their impressive size and exceptional flavor, while Blackfin provide an exciting fight and tasty meat. The peak season for these tuna runs from June to September, when warm water temperatures and abundant baitfish draw these migratory predators closer to shore.
As we wait for the tuna bite to heat up, we also target a variety of other pelagic and reef-dwelling species, fishing both on our way out and back.
Where We Go
Tuna are always found in areas rich in food. They seek out strong currents and upwellings, which bring nutrient-packed waters to the surface, drawing in baitfish. These prime locations can include:
- Deepwater banks and ledges: These underwater structures create breaks in the flat seafloor, attracting baitfish and providing the perfect environment for tuna to ambush prey.
- Weed lines: Floating seaweed lines often attract baitfish, which in turn draw in tuna.
- Areas of convergence: Where different water masses meet, creating highly productive zones.
- Floating objects: Tuna frequently gather around floating debris, such as logs and buoys.
The Flower Gardens is a vast coral reef system located 90-110 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, accessible only through our Blue Water EXTREME trips. This one-of-a-kind ecosystem features depths ranging from 200 to over 1,000 feet, teeming with life, including giant grouper and wahoo.
What's Included
We’ve got everything covered! When you arrive at the Harborwalk Marina, the boat is fully fueled, the rods are rigged, and the cooler is packed with ice. Your professional, USCG-certified captain will have the bait ready for our deep-sea adventure and will assist you throughout the entire journey.
Safety is our top priority on our tuna fishing charters. We equip our boats with state-of-the-art electronics, navigation systems, and radar. Our boats are carefully maintained, and our engines are regularly serviced to ensure optimal performance.
What To Bring
Be sure to dress for the weather with comfortable clothing and sun protection. We’ll have a cooler stocked with ice, but please bring your own water, snacks, lunches, and beverages for the day. Since these are extended trips, it’s important to have plenty of food, drinks, and water to keep everyone fueled and hydrated.
Your captain will reach out before your trip to provide more detailed information on what to bring, and we’re always available to answer any questions you may have.
Guests over 17 will need a Texas Saltwater Fishing License. If you need assistance obtaining the proper license for your trip, feel free to contact us.
