About Galveston Red Snapper Fishing Trips

This is a special trip and is only offered during the Red Snapper season (typically June to July), we don’t offer it any other time of year. The Galveston Red Snapper fishing trip combines the best of a half day deep sea fishing trip for up to 6 people per boat, more fishing time, and goes further offshore to increase chances of catching big red snapper (often up to 20 pounds!).

Galveston Red Snapper fishing is world-class, come try it for yourself! This is an awesome trip to catch one of the most popular, hard fighting, and delicious fish swimming in the Gulf of Mexico. While we are out there, we also have the chance at catching other species encountered during a day of deep sea fishing as well. The season for red snapper can vary, but traditionally starts on June 1 every year and dates fill up fast. Our online bookings have availability for trips in real-time as well, we recommend booking ahead to ensure your preferred date.

If this is your first red snapper fishing experience; don’t worry, free fishing lessons are included!!!

We also provide all of the rods and reels, fishing tackle and bait for the trip, there’s no fuel surcharge, and we also include fish cleaning! All you’ll need are snacks, drinks (no glass), and a fishing license. We have a cooler on board to put drinks and snacks in, but feel free to bring your cooler as well. Remember that your captain and crew work hard to ensure that you have a great experience on your deep sea fishing experience, you can show them your appreciation with a 15-20% tip and a 5-star review online. Both are greatly appreciated.

During your red snapper deep sea fishing experience, we typically try to do a combination of bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, and jigging. This gives us the opportunity to encounter a wider variety of fish species during your trip. Depending on the weather and conditions of the day, we may be limited to trolling and bottom fishing– which are typically most productive anyways.

Our Galveston red snapper fishing is a type of deep sea fishing trip and is a 8-9 hour trip, we are usually fishing within 60 miles of Galveston on a variety of different types of structures. We do not always fish oil and gas platforms, but also fish on sunken wrecks, natural bottom, scattered rocks, and other features too. Common species can include red snapper, king mackerel, spanish mackerel, mangrove snapper, sharks, red drum, sheepshead, cobia, mahi mahi, tripletail, and others. The length of the trip is measured from dock to dock and starts at the scheduled time for the trip. We try our best to stay on time, as there are often multiple groups scheduled during the day to go fishing.

FAQs About Galveston Red Snapper Fishing

This typically depends on the type of trip booked and the time of year for the trip. To ensure a healthy population, red snapper are managed under a season that is set every year by the National Marine Fisheries Service. Traditionally, the season opens on June 1st and goes through the end of July. Outside of this time, we can still catch red snapper—but we cannot keep them.

Depending on the time of year, you may also catch King Mackerel, Dorado or Mahi Mahi, Sharks, mangrove snapper, amberjacks, wahoo, blacken tuna, cobia or ling, sailfish and many other species. Some fish are more common than others and may be further offshore depending on the time of year or weather, but you never know what you’ll catch on a Galveston deep sea fishing trip.

Depending on the type of trips and the weather for the day, this can often vary. The longer you have for your deep sea fishing trip, the better the opportunity for catching big red snapper and other species as well.

To ensure a healthy population, red snapper are managed under a season that is set every year by the National Marine Fisheries Service. Traditionally, the season opens on June 1st and goes through the end of July.

Outside of this time, we can still catch red snapper—but we cannot keep them. We are happy to offer catch and release trips for red snapper if you’re interested as well.

Yes, anyone over the age of 17 is required by law to have a valid Texas saltwater fishing license. There are a number of options for licenses available, but we recommend a one-day license for most cases. You can purchase the licenses online or in person at Academy, Wal-Mart, or most any sporting goods store. Make sure when you purchase the license, it does include the oversized red drum tag on the license for any inshore or nearshore trip if you would like to keep a big Redfish on the trip.

We provide all the rods and reels, tackle and bait for the trip. Fuel is also included in the price of the trip. We are happy to provide fish cleaning services as well, especially with a generous gratuity of 15-25% for your trip.

"I took three grandsons, ages 9-11, on a four hour trip. We had lots of fun. The Captain went to 3 different locations to look for good fishing. We caught baby sharks, which the kids found very thrilling. The staff on board were very helpful, and were able to remove each fish from the hook. I plan to go again."

"Great time had by all. I’ve fished on their trips in the past and never disappointed! This was my youngest son’s first deep sea trip, although he got motion sickness, the crew was helpful to him and he ended up enjoying himself! Always make the boat limits each time out. Deck hands were great and on top of everything! Will be again time permitting!"

"We try to go Deep Sea Fishing at least once a year. We were going to a competitor but thought we should try Williams Party Boats last year. This was our 2nd time coming now and the experience has been great. The crew is polite and helpful and the captain always finds a way to get us on the fish. I can't say enough good things about the experience and the memories made."

"The service is great. The things that most people need to look at that took me time to realize that this is fishing not catching. I have been out with this company many times. The staff is great and fishing is fishing."

Now taking open boat and private reservations for the 2024 red snapper season out of Galveston, TX.The season is from June 1st and is expected to run through the middle of August.
