Taking a trip with Texas Deep Sea Fishing is your best choice if you’re interested in deep-sea fishing. Our captains have over 50 years of combined deep-sea fishing experience in Freeport/Galveston waters. They have thousands of days on the Gulf of Mexico in pursuit of Red Snapper, Wahoo, Cobia, Mahi-Mahi, Grouper, Amberjack, Tuna, Shark, King Mackerel, and many others. Full limits, full fish boxes, and fond memories are our specialty!

Over the years, Captains Derwyn and Marshall Booker have had the pleasure of running dozens of offshore fishing boats; always looking for the one that provides the safest, fastest, most comfortable ride. One of the best in their opinion is their 33’ Contender. With 600 horsepower on the stern, it boasts a top speed of 60 mph and a cruising speed of over 30 mph. It will get you to and from the fishing grounds quickly and comfortably, maximizing your fishing time. Some of its other features include a spacious bow and cockpit for fishing, plenty of comfortable seating for cruising, an enclosed restroom with an electric flush toilet, and awesome electronics including sonar, radar, and Bluetooth sound system.

The crew’s primary goal is always to provide you with a safe, pleasurable, and productive day on the water. Season after season, they’ve made this goal a reality. Your captain will assist with equipment, techniques, and photos while at sea as well as processing your catch at the end of the trip.

Texas Deep Sea Fishing operates from a private marina which features secure, paved parking, and bathrooms with showers.

Your Texas Deep Sea Fishing Charter is a special day. From the time you make your reservation until you bid farewell and drive away with a cooler full of fillets, your captain will be in touch to keep you informed and answer questions.

    Great Fishing All Day!!

    Deep Sea - 8 Hr on September 22, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Marshall and First Mate Sam were great from the time we got to the peer till we we were driving away with a full cooler of fish. My wife, daughter and myself had a great first time deep sea fishing! Captian Marshall had us catching King Mackrel, Cobia, Red Snapper & Vermillion Snapper. Weather was great and we traveled out about 42 miles. We seen lots of dolpins and even a large sea turtle along our trip. Sam & Marshall both were very knowledgeable and accommodating to our experiences and comfort throughout the trip! I highly recommend booking a trip with Texas Deep Sea Fishing they are very professional and knowledgeable! We will book again and probably bring more family along! Great time & great fun! Thanks Again!

    Wore me out!

    10 Hour Trip – Blue Water on August 24, 2026 • 2 adults

    I’ve been on guided trips before so this isn’t new. What I noticed was how organized and clean the boat was. That makes a difference in how easy and safe it is to get around on it and for the crew to assist you. Second, these boats are never comfortable, usually a padded cooler to sit on at best and if you’re like me at 56, it wears you down being jarred across choppy waters. These guys have beanbags to sit on. I literally wasted at least 2 hours while my son fished, napping. I was tired to begin with but the actual amount of fish caught meant that for a couple hours, it seemed like every time I dropped the line in the water, I immediately caught one or two fish. As in immediately. No exaggeration. Of course due to slot limits and the law, we threw back 3 out of four fish landed, but I now have a blister on my palm and soreness in my back and shoulder from cranking the reel handle most of the day. We still ended up with a stupid amount of fish to bring home. I’d book these guys again.

    Best trip hands down!!!

    10 Hour Trip – Blue Water on September 23, 2026 • 3 adults

    my son and I booked a 10 hour charter with Captain Marshall and his partner Sam. We could not be more happy super great folks put us on Fish that we weren’t expecting. Limited out a multiple species. The guys are professionals no doubt. I don’t know why anybody would want to book another charter. We will definitely be back.

    Fantastic

    12 Hr - Ultimate Trip on July 6, 2026 • 6 adults

    We caught the entire ocean. it was a great trip. started the days on Kingfish, caught a mess of beeliners, a few amberjack we let go, and then limited out on snapper. Could not have asked for a better day. Captain Booker and Sam were outstanding. we will go again.

    Craziest charter ever!

    SwordFish Trip on May 31, 2026 • 6 adults

    We went from seeing a whale shark, to having Mahi swim up to the boat, to catching a flounder in 600ft water! The crew was a blast, well skilled and super knowledgeable about their spots and what they do. Overall excellent experience and will definitely have to do again!

    Outstanding trip!

    10 Hour Trip – Blue Water on July 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Would recommend Captain Marshall and Sam to anybody that wants to go and catch fish and have good company. It was more of a catching trip than a fishing trip. Five stars plus!

    Marshall Madness

    8 Hr Texas Waters Trip on March 29, 2026 • 5 adults

    Captain marshall was very entertaining. Got us on top of the fish. Whole crew had a good time. no complaints. boat was plenty big enough for the five of us. Anglers new and old will enjoy captain Marshall. experience or not, captain will get you were you need to be. make sure to get the extra red drum tag, you’ll need it!
