What to Do During Your Trip to Galveston

When you’re not fishing, the island is packed with unforgettable experiences that are a blast for the entire family.

You’ll want to make sure you set some time aside to explore Moody Gardens, cool off at Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston, grab a Funky Munky shaved Ice, challenge the kids to putt-putt golf, or wander through Galveston’s historic museums, art galleries, the Historic Please Pier, and coastal attractions. You can also take a stroll down The Strand Historic District, where you’ll find outstanding shopping, candy stores, restaurants, and island charm that feels straight out of another era.

Looking for adventure? Hop on a duck boat tour, join a ghost tour through Galveston’s legendary haunted history, or try one of the island’s scavenger hunts and hidden gems. After sunset, grab dinner at one of Galveston’s incredible fresh seafood restaurants and enjoy fireworks lighting up the Gulf sky during the island’s summer celebrations.

Have you been dreaming about going on a relaxing cruise? You’re in luck! Galveston is home to major cruise departures from world-class cruise lines. This means you can combine a fishing trip with an unforgettable cruise vacation before or after your charter.

The Wave Dancer Charters Experience

At Wave Dancer Charters, we offer an all-inclusive experience. We provide you with not only a boat with a fantastic captain, but also baits/lures, rods and reels, tackle, ice for the fish, and water for when you get parched. Once we get back to the dock, we’ll help clean the outstanding fish you caught and prep them for your trip home.

Our captains know all the top spots and what to look for when catching fish that are active any time of the year. All you have to worry about is showing up on time, and bringing your family, Texas Saltwater Fish License (day pass is okay), and all of your essentials for the day (sunscreen, food, camera, seasickness medication, etc.). If you would like a full list of what you should bring, let us know. If you want to bring beer that’s fine. Just make sure it is of the canned variety.

We offer safe, clean, and fun fishing trips on our reliable boats, and we are able to target the most fun and delicious seasonal fish for the best fishing trip imaginable.
