Galveston Party Boats

1700 Harborside Dr · Galveston, TX

Why you should go…

Galveston Party Boats operates catamaran fishing vessels, the Cavalier for bay trips and the New Buccaneer for deep-sea trips, out of the Galveston harbor. Trips include rod, reel, bait and tackle, with anglers typically catching gafftop and hardhead catfish inshore or red snapper, king mackerel and other species offshore. The company was an original operator of catamaran party boats in Galveston and reservations are recommended in peak season.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
