It had rained for a few days off and on but Brad still puts us on some fish including 3 different kind of sharks. It was myself my wife and 4 daughters ages 10 to 17. He was very helpful and polite and treated us like he knew us for quite some time. Would definitely book again.

Captain Brad is the best guide in Galveston. He’s passionate about his job and he puts us on fish every time. Great with kids and very friendly. We’ve gone on four trips with Brad and won’t use anyone else when we’re in tow.

We had a great experience fishing with Captain Donnie! We considered deep sea at first but decided to do the jetty fishing trip instead. We've never been fishing in Galveston before but my family and I had a lot of fun and we caught some fish which was the whole point! Thanks again Captain Donnie!

We had so much fun. Captain Brandley was very knowledgeable and took us to the fish. We caught a lot of fish, but couldn't keep some due to an inch too small. We will definitely return. You are allowed to bring your own gear, but they provided everything except for snacks. We brought our own (didn't mind). Perfect weather.

TERRIBLE is all I can say about this operation. Booked and paid my deposit 3 1/2 months in advance. Multiple emails to Capt Donnie confirming our trip. So my family, who is visiting from Minnesota, shows up at the dock and the boats are GONE!!! Phoned the captain and he says he has already left and must have accidentally overbooked. All he could offer was to return my deposit or we could wait SIX hours and take his next charter.

I am FURIOUS as I am posting this in real time! What kind of cut rate operation is he running!?!? Overbooked??? After deposit confirmation and multiple emails and even 2 phone calls from me confirming the EXACT date and times. I've booked many fishing charters and I have NEVER encountered anything like this.

I would give zero stars if it were available. Be forewarned!

Due to thunderstorms the week of our visit Captain Donnie suggested we call the night before our scheduled charter, so we did. He again suggested we called at 5:30am to confirm and make a decision if we were to reschedule or cancel our carter, so again we did. Captain Donnie apparently took our morning call and ran a total different direction. We asked to reschedule but he insisted that we cancel and he would keep our deposit. I tried to talk with him and was able to have him agree to refund our full deposit but my male friend he had been talking with put a "bad taste in his mouth" so he did not want to do business with us then or in the future. We were extremely upset that out of the other 10 charters we called that same morning had enough respect for their guests to post phone their charters for a few hours later due to the weather. This is ALL we wanted also, but Captain Donnie did not want to work with this. We are all glad that with this experience we did NOT get on Captain Donnie's boat!!! I am still shocked that someone would tell a client that they put a "bad taste in his mouth"!!!

making decisions about what the weather may or may not do is always a difficult thing.In this case I felt the weather was O.K. And we could fish as per scheduled charter.The anglers felt my decision was a poor one and insisted I reschedule.Unfornately for the angler's and myself nobody got to fish while I sat ion the dock watching numerous other charter boats go fishing.

We went out with Captain Donnie and Captain Brad. I have never caught anything big even though I've fished my entire life. Well, I was not disappointed!! It was so much fun! I was so very impressed with the equipment and the boat itself. We caught two sharks and two large Redfish. I can't say enough about this trip. If you want to go and catch, call Captain Donnie!! He doesn't disappoint!!

I can't say thank you enough to Brad for the great Fathers Day Jetty trip for my 83 year old dad. We might not have found many fish but playing the Jack was a great last catch for him and a workout for me. A plus service, great boat trip and giving us exactly what we needed. Thank you! Highly recommend Sea Play!

We can't wait for our offshore trip in July!

Captain Brad took us out fishing near the jetties and we caught sheepshead. After that we went to another area and caught drumfish. Despite part of the trip spent in rain, we had a great afternoon fishing! Captain Brad, you're the best! Thank you for giving us a great experience on the water!

Wow... Just an amazing experience... Captain Brad was spot on ... We were a group of four (mom, dad & 15yo twins) with no salt water fishing experience whatsoever ... Capt. Brad showed us the ropes and kept our lines tight the whole time... Started off jetty fishing and we caught almost immediately every time the hook went in the water... Then we asked about sharks... Oh boy! He took us to another spot and within 15 minutes (no exaggeration) we had 3 Sandies on at one time... It was exhilarating... We caught one that was a beast for its species (@6'3" Sand Bar) ... Worth every penny and then some!!!
Capt Brad was courteous, knowledgeable, patient and just a workhorse of a guide... He let us bait & cast and only offered help when we asked (which is a giant plus in my book)... He wasn't pushy or arrogant... We never felt dumb when we asked questions... On the ride back, he pointed out noteworthy locations and offered suggestions as to other activities which we would probably find interesting for the duration of our stay at Galveston... We were met at the dock by Capt. Donnie and found him to be equally friendly, courteous and helpful.
FishSeaPlay.com is an all around top notch outfit and I cannot brag on them enough for the wonderful experience.
Additionally, even with all those teeth in the boat, we always felt safe under the watchful eye of Capt. Brad
Thank you Capt. Donnie & Capt. Brad!
Tight lines!!!!
