Client Testimonial

What Happy Clients Says About Us

Roger W.

I booked Captain Chad for a Shark Fishing Charter last week and I was not disappointed. Captain Chad is very personable and professional. We hooked into 3 blacktip sharks and landed 2 of them. Each shark made some amazing runs and the pictures came out awesome. Galveston Bay is awesome. I didn’t have to worry about my wife getting sea sick as the bay is mostly protected.

Tim O

Everyone needs to experience black tip shark fishing. They fight so hard and they are an amazing fish to see up close. I never thought I would land mine, but with the coaching of Captain Chad I caught and released 2 sharks that day, 1 black tip and 1 bonnet head. My 2 sons also got int the action. What an amazing day!

Jeff, Trinity Bay Texas

I have had the pleasure of fishing Galveston Bay with Captain Chad on numerous occassions. Every chance I get I schedule a trip and always have a great time. Whether scouting the trout or hunting the reds Capt. Chad always puts me on the bite. If your looking for a relaxing day on the bay or a serious fish hunt, Capt. Chad is your guide. Capt. Chad seems to always taylor my trips to however I am feeling. If your looking for a great day of bay fishing you can’t go wrong with Capt. Chad.

Tim, Destin Florida

I had the opportunity to fish with Captain Chad and let me just say what a pleasure it was. I brought my two sons with me and we had a blast catching big redfish. Captain Chad knows the waters of East Galveston like no other captain and his hospitality is unmatched. I highly recommend everyone experience fishing with a guide whether you are looking for a day out with your family or to improve you fishing skills. I had asked the captain a lot of questions and he was happy to answer them and I left knowing several new tactics to use in my home waters one day when I buy my own boat and can take my children out with me.

Leslie and the gang, Magnolia Texas

Me and the girls took a trip with Vitamin Sea Charters and had a blast. We had no idea what we were doing but wanted a fun trip with “just the girls” and Captain Chad made our trip an experience of a lifetime. Captain Chad showed us ladies just how to fish like a pro. Captain Chad came fully prepared with waters, gatorade and of course we brought our own adult beverage’s-LOL. We will definitely be booking another trip with Vitamin Sea Charters. Thanks Captain Chad!!

The Wells Family, Clear Lake, Texas

Today we booked our first charter out of Galveston Bay. Being new to the area and new to saltwater fishing, Capt. Chad of Vitamin Sea Charters came highly recommend. We started our morning at first light, Capt. Chad suggested drifting some nearby reefs for trout. Within the first two hours we landed 12 trout! To say the least my wife & I are hooked! Capt. Chad took us to a few more spots and we caught 3 redfish. These fish are now my wife’s favorite tasting fish! We will definitely using Vitamin Sea in the near future. Thanks for the new experience Capt. Chad.
