Galveston bay, jetty, and nearshore
Galveston fishing charters
Book a bay, jetty, or nearshore day with a local captain who reads tides, wind, and seasonal patterns before you leave the dock. Every outing is paced for the least experienced angler on board without slowing down the action.
We supply rods, tackle, and bait. Guest count and trip length are confirmed when you reserve your date.
Why book with us
Island Adventure Charters focuses on safe, memorable days on Galveston Bay and nearby waters. Target species include Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Sharks, and seasonal nearshore fish, with the plan adjusted for weather, tide, and your crew.
Captain Eric is Galveston-born and raised, with practical knowledge of bay shorelines, jetty structure, channel edges, and nearshore reefs so each trip follows the conditions, not a rigid script.
Trips stay approachable for kids, first-time anglers, and mixed groups. Expect patient coaching on tackle, bait, and technique so everyone can stay engaged and learn as you fish.
You fish from a thirty-foot boat equipped with an onboard toilet and a trolling motor for quiet repositioning when the bite calls for finesse.

Your captain
Eric started deckhanding at fourteen and has spent the years since building time on Galveston Bay, the jetties, and nearshore waters. Island Adventure Charters keeps trips calm, organized, and focused on teaching as much as catching, so families, beginners, and seasoned anglers all feel at home on a thirty-foot boat built for full days on the water.
