Surfside Beach Charters is a Texas Saltwater Offshore Fishing and family fun charter service, conveniently located in Freeport/Surfside Beach, Texas — one hour from Houston and 30 minutes from Galveston, the same general Gulf Coast area referenced extensively throughout this session. The business bills itself as Texas State Water specialists, offering quick and easy access to the Gulf of Mexico’s abundance of fish, including Red Snapper, Redfish, Sharks, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia/Ling, Dorado/Dolphin, Catfish, and seasonal Tarpon.

US Coast Guard licensed Captain Kevin Martin has guided in this area for more than 15 years, and the crew is genuinely kid-friendly, catering to families, corporate trips, and bachelor parties alike — on most trips, guests are fishing within 30 minutes, with bathrooms available on both boats for comfort and convenience.

The fleet includes two dedicated State Water boats: the 31-foot Century “Live Action,” a longtime dedicated State Water boat successfully fishing Texas State Waters for years, and the 32-foot-plus Glacier Bay Catamaran “Size Matters,” recently dedicated as a second State Water boat, offering a genuinely smooth, stable ride even in less-than-ideal conditions. Together, both boats let the business keep Red Snapper year-round rather than being limited to the highly restricted Federal Season.

No experience is necessary — all fishing rods, bait, and tackle are provided, with fish cleaning included in every trip.

For anglers and families near Freeport/Surfside Beach, Texas looking for a well-established, more than 15-year offshore Texas State Water fishing charter, Surfside Beach Charters offers a comfortable, beginner-friendly operation with Captain Kevin Martin.
