The Most Flavorful Boat Charters in Corpus Christi

Saltwater Cowboyz

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"We had so much fun with Captain Dusty. He is kind, considerate, and patient. He took us to all of the cool places to get our fish and, true to his word, Sarah caught her "fish of a lifetime." She got a 34 7/8", 16 lbs Bull Redfish. Even better, Dusty has a great working relationship with John at Doc's who knows how to filet a bull redfish properly. I haven't fished since I was eleven years old and even I caught fish. There are plenty of people who drive boats; Captain Dusty has intimate knowledge of this area. Local expertise adds to the experience and enjoyment. If you're looking for a fishing guide and not just a fishing trip, book Dusty -- and quick. His calendar fills up.Oh yeah, the sunrise photo was amazing."

Southbound Fishing Charters - Captain Pierre Petrila

★★★★★ 4.6 (20)

"Pierre and his co-captain were a delight to fish with!While on board, Pierre made an effort to get to know all of us and also make an even better effort to educate us about the water. I've been on many offshore fishing trips but this was my first bay experience. His boat and bait setup are wonderful -- all you really need to do is show up (AND ON TIME). Due to weather conditions, we didn't catch much but Pierre took us to at least 5 hot spots. His knowledge of Corpus was immense and really helped our Padre stay a success."

Woody's Sports Center

★★★★☆ 3.7 (90) • $$

"I went with my boyfriend and his family this past Sunday for the 8-12 bay fishing trip. The captains are good at explaining all of the rules and helping you out if you need assistance. They have fishing rods that are ready for your use as well as bait (dead shrimp and mullet). You can bring your own food/drinks aboard which is nice (they also have food/drinks for sale at the store where you buy your tickets) and they play music which is fun. They also have a bathroom and sink on board if you need to use it. There are also plenty of places to sit on the lower level and an observation deck. If you are prone to motion sickness then definitely bring some dramamine - the day we went the sea was pretty choppy and I was feeling it :(. The captain took us to three different places to fish and there were probably about 20 people on board which is a nice size group. My boyfriend's mom actually reeled in a 35-inch red drum and the staff on board assisted her with a net and even filleted it for her after we got back to shore. Unfortunately only one other person caught a fish they could keep (a sand trout). I was only able to catch a piggy perch. I would like to try this again but go for the evening trip instead. P.S. Make sure to get your tag if you're planning on keeping a red drum and bring your own cloth/rag for your hands. Also, they give discounts for seniors, military and students!"

"we had a group of ten. it's was a great trip for all our seniors. only wish we could have gotten closer to the birds. Captain Tommy's knowledge of the birds was awesome. We'll be back!"

Rockport Kayak Guide Services

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"I can't say enough nice things about this company. They delivered the kayak to us, supplied us with everything we needed and even threw in some extras like a pair of sunglasses and a waterproof bag for my phone and keys. They have so much knowledge and enthusiasm for the parks and wild life.When they came to pick up the kayak, they met us on shore with bottles of cold water.We were even able to pay with our credit card right on the spot.Convenient, affordable, knowledgeable, professional and most of all.....friendly and thoughtful."

Salty Marine Guide Service

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"You can't find a better captain than Jerry. The spots he took us to were spot and we caught Redfish, Trout and Flounder!"

Buccaneer Cruises

★★★★☆ 3.8 (10)

"This was a nice, relaxing, slow sunset, and dolphin cruise. The captain and first mate were super personable........ the first mate told us what type of birds and wildlife we should be looking for that were common in the area. we did see the pink spoon bill bird but I wasn't quick enough to get a picture... we also saw numerous other types of birds, and we did see dolphin! The sunset was beautiful and afterword step inside of Snoopy, and have some great appetizers and beverages!!!"

Goin Deep Fishing

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"The owners are very quick to respond to messages and answer all your questions. When the charter that we originally wanted was booked they offered us a discount on the bigger boat. It was a nice boat with an air conditioned place to rest. They provided everything including bait and snacks and sandwiches and drinks. They were very friendly and made it feel like you were out with friends showing you how to fish. The only negatives were that I had underestimated how long we would have to spend traveling to and from the fishing spots. We didn't seem to spend an awful lot of the 6 hours actually fishing. And my oldest son had a big one on the trolling line and it broke the line. He felt like he needed more instruction on what to do. But that's ok. We got our limit on snapper and everyone got to catch something."

Reel Addiction Fishing Guide

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Booked a trip for our family and we would definitely recommend Reel Addiction. Not only was Captain Jaime professional and courteous, he made it a fun and memorable experience! We will definitely book another trip."

Tails Up Guide Service

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"What a great fishing guide, knowledgable and friendly with great cooking tips as well. Every time I have gone out with him he has got our limit despite conditions being less than ideal. I highly recommend Captain James to anyone looking for great fishing on the Gulf Coast"

Laguna Madre Anglers

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Captain Mitch was a fantastic guide! I purchased the sunset cruise which lasted 1 1/2 hours. Unfortunately the day I wanted to go out was cloudy and there wasn't much of a sunset. Even with clouds, it was very pretty and the weather was perfect! We cruised along and got an up close look at some of the houses on the water. There were even three big barges in the canal which were cool to see up close!On the way back there was even a young osprey perched on a post. How fun to see! This is a wonderful time and a good idea for showing out of town guests the area. Mitch also has fishing trips available and they sound great."

Drifter Guides

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"My group had a great time fishing for Specs with Chris, and we caught some beauties, including a 27" monster! The day started off slow, not many bites, and Chris worked his tail off, moving from spot to spot, to put us on the fish...and it worked! We all limited out and had a great time! I recommend Chris and Drifter Guides highly! - Tom from Colorado"

Aransas Bay Birding Charters

★★★★★ 4.9 (7)

"Wonderful birding trip with comfortable boat and knowledgeable guide. We got amazing pictures and lots of info while being out of the wind when cold. No bathroom but wasn't a problem. Hope to do this again someday."

Blue Water Excursions

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"One is the best trips we have taken and we have taken a lot. Chad and Derrick were amazing. Chill crew, and they get the job done. Wish we would have chose the 12 hour instead of the 8. Caught fish the entire time, and they worked their tails off making sure that was the case. If you don't catch fish with them, nobody else did that day either. Well worth the money."

Red Tag Guide Service

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Captain Randy and his wife Amy were so incredible to us! We were out on the water together from 6:30-1:00 or so. I'm not a skilled fisherman so they would cast my line for me in the perfect spot. It was my partners birthday, and Amy's as well! She brought him a GIFT! We got soooo many bites, reeled in a red fish that was too small sadly! So many catfish, but we don't judge so we're frying up gaff top tonight! I swear I had a trout on line it went wild and I lost it. They took us to all their spots to try and get us something that met their high standards, and we really appreciated it. But the company, help and knowledge that was shared was more than enough. Thank you guys so much"

Deep Sea Headquarters

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (101)

"This was our 3rd year going on the 12hr trip and as usual it was awesome. Captain & crew were amazing and cold not have had a better experience. We caught a full limit of red snapper plus vermilion snappers & King Fish. We can't wait until next years trip!"

Jay Nichols Outdoors

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Awesome fishing guide! Capt. Jay Nichols really knows what he's doing. I've been fishing for years but on my first trip with Capt. Jay I got my limit of fish and actually learned a few things! Can't wait to book and go with him again soon!"

Fish On Guide Service

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"I've been out with Allen on a few occasions. We are always the first boat with a limit of fish. He's probably the most experienced guide in the area and it's obvious he does his home work scouting and getting the fish patterns down. He's a go to guide for sure."

South Bay Marina

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (5)

"Our guide Scott McCune launched our trip from here. It was clean. The dock has been rebuilt with easy access to the channels of Aransas Bay. The staff was kind and friendly."

K2 Guide Service

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I am an experienced fisherman and I can say Travis is an excellent guide. Good boat with plenty of room and dry ride. Took us to some spots I haven't been before and put us on quality fish. Best of all he did it with a positive attitude which always make it a better day. Highly recommend for novice to expert fisherman."

"Had a blast with Captain Sam. Despite bad weather he still put us on the fish. Have also been duck hunting with Sam about 9 times. We have always got our limit. I'd highly recommend a trip with Captain Sam."

Fisher's Fishing Guide Service

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"After fishing the Gulf Coast for many years, I ran into Pat. He's different than the other Baffin area guides I interviewed. They were cocky, particular, and a little bit too much into themselves. I'm sure this is about the almighty dollar, and the "big d..k" contest at the fish cleaning tables, to get that picture of the biggest stringer, for job security, and ego. I'll put a big "El Paso" on that. Fishing is supposed to be fun, and after having my own 20ft, tunnel hull, in a slip in Aransas Pass, (for 8 years) the important thing is to get home safe, and have fun. (I did have an adventurous time, surfing the waves off of St., Joe's Island, on the way to wrecks and other secret spots) That describes Pat, except the stringers of the largest Speckled Trout I'd ever had. If you're fishing for meat, do the math, and go to a fish market. If you want an unforgettable, pleasurable experience, fish with Pat. No "boot camp" with him, just good teaching, fishing, and humor."

Team Liberty Guide Service

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"This was my first time that I had used a guide service or even a charter boat to go fishing. My family and I had an absolute blast! Capt. Jack was professional, helpful, nice and fun to be around! He's an overall great guy! We were really wanting Black/Red Drum and that's what we got! Lisa got 1 little Trout. Now, only 2 drums were keeper because the others were over the limit. We didn't mind throwing them back because it was so much fun to catch them. The 2 we were able to keep made for a great Dinner and just enough for us three. We were so elated! We had the best time! Thanks Capt. Jack!Though, I have fished all my life, Capt. Jack showed me the correct technique to reeling in a big black drum that was full of fight. He also assisted all of us with any questions that we had as well as baiting and casting. I had my father & sister with me. In which my father and I needed assistance to get in and out of the boat due to physical ailments. Capt. Jack assisted us in both areas. I will definitely use Captain Jack again when I'm back in the area to visit family and go fishing."

My Gulf Coast Getaway

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Great little house next to the pool! Located in a nostalgic RV complex with several retro themed houses and mobile homes.Absolutely the most pet friendly place we have ever stayed at in Rockport area, and we have stayed at quite a few. Quiet and just a few miles away from downtown Rockport and Port A if you want to go out to eat, go to the beach, or enjoy the nightlife. It is truly one of a kind! This was our last trip to the coast after I was diagnosed with terminal cancer and came home to begin home hospice and prepare for my final journey so it was extra special to my wife and I. We were both born on the Texas gulf coast and really loved to go to the coast almost every summer, but we really treasured this last visit and could not have chosen a more perfect place to stay. A+++++"

Night Stalker Guide Service - Flounder Gigging Trips

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"5 of us went out on Sunday, May 27, 2018. All but 1 of us was a rookie at flounder gigging. Capt. Rick met us at the dock of Goose Island State Park. He has an amazing set-up that immediately told us he knew what he was doing. We had elements against us: full moon, hot and muggy day and competition with night wader fishermen. On top of that, we also had 4 rookies that included teenagers and a tween. Despite those odds, we all limited. We came home with 25 beautiful flounder. I only saw flounder after Eagle-eye Capt. Rick pointed them out to me. One of my flounder was a completely blind gigging experience; yet, I still got it! Capt. Rick is experienced, knowledgeable and infinitely patient. He is also extremely savvy on the water. He never lost site of the night fishermen who turned their lights off making them invisible and idiotic. I do not like to fish. At. All. However, I would go Flounder Gigging with Capt. Rick anytime. I can't recommend him enough!"

JW Outfitters

"Jacob Wehring is a great captain and really works hard to find big fish! You will have a great time if you book a trip with him... He is very professional and safety is his top priority!"
