The captain stopped and gave us the option to cancel and get a refund or reschedule. We caught Red Snapper and Mangrove Snapper right when we stopped the boat. My daughter caught another Shark also on this trip also. The trip was reasonably priced and the experience was as good as I have had on a charter. Book It you won't regret it.

Steve started to chum and said, "Hopefully, the fish will start coming within an hour." He obviously knew his stuff because were were reeling in monster red drum after monster red drum within the hour. We also caught 3 Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks! We had 3 children on the boat as well and Kevin & Steve are great with families. I've been on other charters where the captains were crude and profane in front of my children, but Kevin & Steve were classy from start to finish. Thank you to Kevin & Steve for an absolutely incredible morning on the water and for making a fish memory that will last a lifetime.

Want to catch some fish? Are you near/visiting Surfside Beach, Texas and want an awesome…read moreexperience with a salt water fishing guide? Then call Surfside Beach Charters! Captain Kevin or Captain Johnny will give you the best experience that you can get in the Surfside/Freeport area without a doubt! We were honored to be aboard with Captain Kevin on "Size Matters" (a fine vessel primarily slated for full-day federal waters fishing trips), the larger of the 2 boats. "Live Action" is the "smaller" vessel, but moreso different by design and primarily for 1/2 day trips in state waters. When you call, you'll hopefully get Sharon (Captain Kevin's wife). She's in control of the calendar/bookings. Should you reach Captain Kevin, he's likely on a trip when you call (esp. if he sounds otherwise preoccupied; and yet we heard him on a call to be so kind answering many other questions that weren't directly related to fishing!). So, should this happen to you, please understand & simply call the other # listed! Oh! I must mention an incredible side note: our trip was delayed! Captain Kevin called me early in the morning of our scheduled afternoon trip. The waters were too rough & wind was bad: he initially cancelled our trip for ALL of our behalves. Turns out, the next day booking cancelled. He called us back to reschedule the trip or to refund our deposit. The timing was right: It was better conditions and we had the time, so we jumped at the rescheduling opportunity! Fishing: what a good guide knows best! Surfside Beach Charters know where to go to catch fish! (I have no intention to slam anyone else, but it's really cool when you pull in & here that "other" charters didn't do or fair as well as we did!) Your capt will ask you your goals and do his best to meet your goals & exceed your expectations. But always know, THEY nor WE are not always able to achieve ALL expectations...that part is up to the fish and the conditions. Our day wasn't the best for some fish, but for others it rocked! Family fishing: 2 parents & 2 kids... our kids were seasick the majority of the time: 1 never saw a fish caught (puking or eyes closed, wishing he stayed home); the other reeled in a few fish, but was reeling over the side of the boat for other reasons! "Sea bands" don't work worth a flip, FYI. I took Dramamine too late (1 hr prior to trip, as directed): be sure to take it at least 3-4 hrs in advance (I was fine for the 2nd half of our trip). Captain Kevin was SO sweet during the wretchedness: he slowed the boat for big waves, did his best maneuvering the waters to minimize "ugliness" (choppy day out there for us!), drove fast when he could, fished "for me" when I needed to gather my composure, and handed over the rod when I was ready...Captain Kevin is da bomb! Saltwater fishing charters are not cheap, but the experience with a solid outfit is worth every penny! Included in the price is filleting your fish caught, and wonderful bounties await as they filled our bellies (with plenty more to come!): Freshly caught fish = the best fish you will ever eat! Be sure to tip your captain well, especially for a successful adventure ($50 = goals achieved; more for "blew my mind awesome!"). We absolutely recommend Surfside Beach Charters for guided saltwater fishing charters: you'll catch fish, you'll be treated professionally/down-to-earth/"real", you have experienced captains, your accommodations are "sea-worthy", you'll be eating well, and the experience is priceless! Thank you, Surfside Beach Charters: you're 1st on the list for our next chartered saltwater fishing expedition! Life memories were made today! May they help make lasting memories for you too!

Originally we were booked Monday with a girl and that morning her boat wouldn't start so we ended…read moreup with Captain Josh. His boat was much nicer and the tradition was smooth. It was a super slow day. We caught two flounders which were too small to keep and a handful of sheepshead. Only two were big enough to keep. We wasted half the trip driving around to worthless spots and even had to stop mid trip and go back for bait because he didn't have enough. We were quoted $275 for the spring special over the phone and then charged $375. It's my husband fault for not getting the booking rate in writing. We ended up paying Josh's regular rate because the girl wasn't there to confirm. Overall we had a good time, but if we pay good money to charter a trip, at least give us a guide that knows the routes. I knew it would be a bust when 5 minutes in Josh says he only does off shore trips. If we ever try Cowboys again we will have Josh take us offshore. We liked him personally but he wasn't equipped or knowledgeable about the bay side like he was offshore.

I was on a 3 day, 2-night live-aboard dive trip to the Flower Gardens, and the boat had essentially a full regimen with ~31 divers. The landscapes (West bank, a rig, and over at Stetson), the weather, and the wildlife (a few sharks, some really friendly sea turtles, eels and stingrays, oh my!) were all really neat, but it was the crew that really makes this organization worth visiting. The tank filler (Gary, I think) had his hands full with keeping all our tanks full, helping us adjust our rigs, and just giving us some good background on the dive sites. The dive masters (Brandon and JT) were helpful, well-informed, and super cheerful. The captain kept us in stitches with some good humor as we trudged through the necessary drills and information sessions, and the galley crew was phenomenal. I don't imagine it was easy feeding the 35+ people on board, but they prepared delicious, copious food-- if you went hungry, it was on you. Sleeping quarters were a mite tight, but that's to be expected. With 31 divers, the dive prep area was a little tight, but everyone was really great. Overall, the crew makes you feel welcome and does everything they can, the facilities are comfortable, and the experience is great. If you get a chance to dive the Flower Gardens, you should check out the Fling.
