Went out on the 4 hour bay trip, it was an ok trip but after we started catching nothing but hard heads you would have thought the captian would have changed spots, but no such luck. My partner and I caught a couple of sharks, 2 gaftop and sand trout. Probably will book the boat next door for my next outing.

better off buying fish at the market
By Zweet, 01/24/09
Rude desk staff. Charging for bait at peir knowing the bait was not going to be used. Way over crowed. Fished less than 4 hours, after paying $75 each for five people, I expected at least some fish. We came back with nothing. Only the [people who brought the correct fishing rigs and artificial bait caught the fish. Oh yea, the crew offered to sell ...

This was horrible
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/22/08
It was crazy...They have a bunch of cold blooded Cuban gangsters running this thing. All you could get from their galley was stale bread and watered down rum. Once we reached international waters, they started smoking all sorts of drugs and gaffing dolphins. They would drag them on board, and club them with 2x4s. Some Mexican Kenny Loggins and Ol' SNAPPER LANE! were there too. Watch out for these guys.

THIS IS A SCAM
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/22/08
My buddy drove down from Iowa for this fishing 12 hour fishing trip. On which we spent 5 hours getting to our fishing spot, we then fished for less than 3 hours. The boat had to go back early because of engine troubles. So out of a 12 hour trip we fished for less than 3 hours, needless to say I was not very happy about the whole experience. To ...

not a good experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/14/08
The front desk personnel were rude at check in, the boat was extremely crowded, half the fishing time was spent untangling my line from the people next to me. Out of a 12 hour deep sea trip, we only actually fished from 12:15pm - 2:45pm, the rest of the time was spent traveling to and from the dock. We caught a few fish, nothing to write home about...we actually did better fishing and crabbing on a pier without a "guide".

Great crew...very helpful to kids just starting out.
I'm a counselor for a non-profit foundation near Galveston. I take 30 or more teens a year on the Cavalier. The crew is always great with the teens and want them to have a successful trip. The Captain (Crazy Rick) allowed the kids to come a few at a time and visit with him. They loved it! We didn't catch many fish, but the two that did ...

Great Fishing!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/13/07
I have been a customer of Galveston Party Boats Inc for many years. Their fishing trips are reasonably priced and the service very good. The deckhands all try their best in helping the customers. Compared to the competition I would say you can't go wrong with this company. My last trip was Nov. 10-11, 2007, a 30 hours deep sea fishing trip ...

Disappointed!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/27/07
If you call, you will get the impression that there are a lot of fish being caught. They will say that this and that fish are biting. In actuality, with about 70-80 persons in the boat, they were only 6 fishes that were good enough to be keepers. The rest were catfish that were thrown back because they were trash fishes. I'm so disappointed and it's a waste of money and time!

Would not go back!
By Michael C, 07/30/06
The boat was ok. The deck hands were helpful if you could get their attention away from a non-fishing young lady. On a boat of about 80 only about 3/4 caught any fish at all. We anchored off a jetty and never moved. I can understand a bad day of fishing, but I can not understand not moving if fish are not being caught on a good regular basis. ...
