Woody's Sports Center

Wonderful experience Captain Ralph kept us safe and put us on fish Bring your cooler and rain gear Cannot wait to go back

Woodys has been around for decades! This is not the original. It was blown away in 1960 by a hurricane that reshaped this entire island. Every few years a hurricane does some damage to Port Aransas slowly reshaping the businesses and topography but, never the culture. The vibe of boating and fishing is still alive and well at Woody's. One of the go toos for docking and fueling your boat, buying gear, hiring a guide, and everything in between. Pay them a visit, They need the business during the crisis.

We have been going to the dolphin tours here for like 7 years! It is absolutely the best! The guys that run it are so good and create such a memorable experience! They even drop a net and bring in fish and stuff for the kids to touch! Worth the money!

We did the 4 hour fishing tour ... fishing around the jetty and bay area. Abby and Peyton were super nice and efficient. They did all they could to make the trip enjoyable and they wanted to make sure we caught something. When we come back we'll ask for them and the Island Princess II

Review Based on my 9 year old:It was awesome! One of the Experiences I will always remember. We saw a ton of dolphins. And beautiful views of Port a. They had a tank on the boat and filled the net up with all kinds of sea animals that we got to hold straight out of the gulf. I held a stingray, puffer fish, butterfly ray and baby squid.

I was looking for something fun and different to do with my husband, teenaged daughter and her friend. My daughter and I took some Dramamine each, but I really think it wasn't necessary at all. The ship's captain was very easy going, taking to the water at a nice chill pace. I felt that the playlist he had going was perfect to set the mood to enjoy the ocean breeze and sight-seeing at a leisurely pace. We saw lots of dolphins, and the family crew had the tour structured into different areas to see, including a 19th century lighthouse, and a while where they dragged sone shrimp nets and made a little nature show in which the son of the family gave a lot of information about each of the animals they caught and let kids touch them before releasing them into a salt water bath for us all to observe. I'd definitely recommend!

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!

Tour guide was great until the end- I have to give it one star because it turned into literal animal cruelty. Catch and release is one thing but the touch tank was something else. He butchered two stingrays on the counter and removed its stinger in front of the kids, which ensures its death once released. Two of the fish died near immediately from being squeezed to death and the rest looked motionless and on the verge of death by the end of the tour. The touch tank was left entirely unsupervised and it was very cruel. This place does not practice humane catch and release at all.

We did the Sunset Dolphin Watch yesterday evening and it was great. The Boat Captain and Deckhand were both very knowledgeable and informative. You can tell they have done this a long time and enjoy it. The kids learned a lot about sea life and the area.

Woodys sports center booking with Neptune charters. Wish I could review the cruise but I can not. This review will be about their greedy practices for canceling on their customer but refusing to accept a cancellation from their customers. We had a 12 pm booking with them. They texted us at 9am the day of the appointment stating they had to cancel our appointment (no reason give) we made over a month ago. We reluctantly accepted a later 7pm appointment but unfortunately our daughter got sick at 6pm and unable to make the trip. so we showed up to their location to cancel but they refused to refund us. They told us refunds are only given if they canceled on us. They never offered us a refund option, they only gave us different times to pick from. The attend at the tick booth was very rude and non apologetic. I will never use this concessioner and make sure my company or any of my colleagues visit this township again.
