Coastal Charters TX offers deep sea and bay fishing charters in Port Aransas, Texas, led by Captain Danny Dorman, who has fished his whole life and shares decades of expertise and insider tips with every guest. “When you’re fishing on our boats, you’re family.”
Deep Sea Fishing Trips (8-12 hours, up to 6 guests, the most popular option) head to deeper waters for larger fish varieties. Luxury Fishing Trips run aboard the business’s biggest and best boats, featuring bedrooms, bathrooms, freshwater showers, a kitchen, sound systems, and A/C for deep-sea fishing in genuine style and comfort. Bay Fishing or Flounder Gigging trips (4 hours, up to 4 guests) target Redfish, Trout, Flounder, and Black Drum, with a toilet, sound system, and shade top aboard.
The fleet spans 4 boats ranging from 31 to 61 feet, each fully equipped for a great day on the water. Target species vary seasonally: June-August brings Snapper season plus everything except Amberjack; mid-July through September (after Snapper closes August 1) brings Kingfish, Ling, Wahoo, and Blackfin Tuna; September-October reopens Amberjack; November-February typically brings Wahoo, Kingfish, and Makos (which favor cold weather January-March); March-April brings Kingfish, Sharks, Wahoo, and state water fish; and May brings Amberjack season plus all others. Guests need a Texas saltwater fishing license (16+), sunscreen, food (no bananas allowed — a genuine superstition), drinks, and comfortable non-black-soled shoes.
Cancellations 14+ days out receive a full refund; less than 14 days results in a $500 deposit charge, and no-shows are charged the full trip cost. All trips are regulated by Texas Parks and Wildlife and NOAA.
With an outstanding volume of glowing reviews, guest testimonials repeatedly describe Captain Danny hauling in massive catches (427 lbs of King Fish, Red Snapper, and Ling on one trip), genuine patience and skill with kids as young as 8, and consistently limiting out across many years of repeat trips.
For anglers of any experience level near Port Aransas, Texas looking for a well-established, highly reviewed deep sea, luxury, or bay fishing charter, Coastal Charters TX offers a comprehensive operation with Captain Danny Dorman.
