23' Hydrasports on West Galveston Bay: Days of Fishing, Tubing and Gulf Coast Sunsets.
From the shallow flats of West Galveston Bay to the western horizon where the Gulf Coast drops into color, a 23' Hydrasports from Galveston Fishing Boat Rentals is built for the straightforward pleasures of the Texas coast: chasing speckled trout and redfish in wading water, towing a tube with friends, or drifting into evening to watch dolphins, sea turtles and a Gulf sunset.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Target Species on the Flats
The boats are intended for fishing on shorelines and flats where anglers pursue prize-winning species such as speckled trout and redfish, often from shallow wading water.
Equipped for Ease: GPS and Coolers
Each rental comes with on-board conveniences—GPS for navigation and coolers for catches or refreshments—so days focus on the water rather than gear logistics.
Dolphins, Sea Turtles and Sunset Runs
Beyond fishing, the trips allow time for tubing, watching dolphins and sea turtles, or simply positioning the boat to take in the Gulf Coast’s late-afternoon light.
What the day feels like
How a Rental Day Unfolds
Choose a half- or full-day rental, load the 23' Hydrasports with your group of up to six and set a course across West Galveston Bay. The setup—boat with GPS and coolers—keeps the focus on the activity: sighting fish on the flats, jumping in shallow water to wade, running a tube for laughter and speed, or slowing down as dolphins and sea turtles appear alongside and the sun sinks toward the Gulf.
