“While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brother, Simon and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him.” Matthew4:18-20

Guest Speaker: Johnny Roubion
Registration: Children ages 7 and up are welcome to join us. Wives and daughters are welcome to join us. We have 20 spots booked on the boat for this event, first paid first reserved. If you need to cancel, we won’t be able to issue a refund unless we have another angler ready to take your place. If the charter boat cancels, we will refund all participants in full.
Cost: Adult participants (ages 13 and up) $140, youth participants (ages 7-12) $90
Activities: Spend a day of fishing and relationship building on the beautiful deep blue water of the gulf with Blast & Cast Men’s Ministries and Galveston Party Boats targeting red and vermilion snapper. Other species may be captured depending on season and legal size limits, but red and vermillion snapper will be the main target fish. Plan to arrive by 6:00am and gather in the parking lot for a short devotion and prayer time. The boat will return to Galveston at approximately 7:30pm.
How to find us at the dock: Galveston Party Boats is located at Pier 19.
The address is: 1700 Harborside Dr, Galveston, TX 77550
From Houston, travel South on Interstate 45 (Gulf Freeway) to Galveston. Upon crossing the Causeway, exit Harborside Drive. Turn left onto Harborside, and continue to Downtown Galveston. From Harborside, enter at 20th Street.
ARRIVE EARLY – PARKING IS LIMITED. There is a parking lot across from the boat’s office on Pier 19 that is run by the Port of Galveston. The cost for parking is $16 per day and credit/debit card payments are accepted at the parking lot kiosk. Parking is enforced.
Plan to arrive at or before 6:00am and gather in the parking lot for a short devotion and prayer time. Look for the Blast & Cast Men’s Ministries flags marking our gathering location. We will share a short time of devotion and go over rules and expectations for the day and answer any last minute questions. Discussion guides will be distributed to aid in pointed conversations during the morning and evening boat runs which are estimated at four hours each way. The boat will return to Galveston at approximately 7:30pm.
Meals: Food and drinks can be purchased on the boat. We recommend cash payments for galley purchases. Small softside coolers with food and water or soft drinks are allowed onboard as well. The boat does not allow anglers to bring alcohol onboard.
Included: Guaranteed spot on the boat, rod, reel, tackle, and squid for bait.
Not included: Parking (paid parking available across the street from the pier), fish cleaning services (table is available to clean your own catch), food and drinks (available for purchase on the boat), gratuities for deck hands (optional). Cash tips for the deck hands at the end of the day are encouraged. Approx. $20/person is reasonable as those guys do an awesome job of tending to every fisherman’s needs with tackle, hangups, breakoffs, and handling your catch and maintaining your stringer.
