π¨ Important Update π¨
We have a significant issue with the Port, as they're closing the 17th Street entrance to Pier 19 and restricting access to part of the parking lot. A meeting was held at 10 AM to discuss these changes. Stay tuned for updates on our site regarding new directions and parking options!

Hey everyone: today, for reasons unknown, the Port of Galveston erected concrete barriers to block access to Pier 19 from 17th Street. This also eliminates access to a section of the parking lot. At this moment, the area can only be accessed via 20th street and parking is more limited than before. Until this mess is resolved, assuming it is, please enter via 20th Street and consolidate rides for parking as much as possible.
UPDATE: The road is back open as of the afternoon of August 7, but for how long in unknown. The Port promises a meeting ahead of time when cruise terminal construction at Pier 16 will prompt another road closure.

Hello everyone. Here is an update on what is going on. Much of Galveston, including Pier 19, has no power. The office is not open and the phones are not working. The July 10th trips are cancelled but we hope to make the 11th and beyond. We are asking for patience as all staff is without power as well as the office. Internet is shaky. If we have to cancel trips, we will send emails stating such. If you want to cancel as you have storm damage or hotel has no power, etc, please email at [email protected] or [email protected]. Please tell us the name on the reservations the day/type of trip.
We know this is all a big hassle right now and we are trying to work through it. If you send a request other than email we may not see it to answer.
We hope everyone is okay with no damage but from the emails we have received there are a lot of customers suffering from this Hurricane. We wish all the best and please be patient with us on working through this mess.

Rare killer whale sighting from the New Buccaneerβs 30-hour trip today! These beautiful creatures put on quite the show - enjoy!
Meet Galveston Party Boats
This fine citizen stole two ice chests from the bed of a customers truck on Sunday morning. He drove through the parking lot several time then pulled in to the parking spot next to the truck with the chests in the bed. The thief sits in his truck for a while, gets out, lowers his tailgate, changes shirts a eventually takes two 120 qt coolers from the bed of the truck next to his and then drives away. Skip to about 10:10 to see the actual thief in action.
August 6th New Buccaneer 12 hour trip. The boat came in with 631 vermillion snapper and 54 king mackerel.
Here is another video from a few days ago with a big sandbar shark on the line. The only issue is our intrepid drone pilot bailed out on the video before the shark broke the surface. It was released as sandbar sharks cannot be landed.
Brief video taken of the New Buccaneer offshore.
We have had a drone for a while but no one to fly it (with any confidence). We now have a 15 year old pilot, so here is a short clip of the Cavalier under way. We're still learning the drone thing
