This is Galveston from the water, and it’s the easiest yes on the dock. You step aboard, your captain idles you out into the harbor, and before long you’ve got a line in the water and the island skyline at your back.

The harbor and bay hold redfish, speckled trout, sheepshead, black drum and flounder, depending on season and tide. Your captain picks the spots and does the coaching, so kids and first-timers get in on the action fast.

Between bites, soak up the working waterfront. Big ships in the channel. Shrimp boats heading in. Pelicans everywhere and, if you’re lucky, dolphins rolling alongside. Two hours goes quick. Bring the camera.

Choose either 26-footer: Wave Warrior with Capt Cory Ewing or Pole Dancer with Capt Bill Pandolph. The trip is $400 for up to 3 guests. Add up to 3 more at $50 each, for a maximum of 6 guests.
