How much do charters cost?
Our trips start at $500 and vary depending on the length and type of charter you choose. Each trip includes up to 4 guests, with the option to add up to 2 additional guests for $50 each (maximum of 6 guests total). Whether you're looking for a quick inshore run or a full-day adventure, we've got a trip to fit your crew and budget!
What is included with my charter?
Every Arnold’s Angling charter comes fully loaded with everything you need for a successful day on the water. We provide all rods, reels, tackle, bait, and top-of-the-line gear, so you can focus on the fun. You'll fish in comfort aboard our 26’ Sea Fox center console, equipped with a live well, state-of-the-art electronics, and room for up to 6 guests. Fish cleaning is included at the end of your trip—we’ll clean and bag your catch so it’s ready for the grill or freezer.
What do I need to bring with me?
To make the most of your day on the water, we recommend bringing the following:
Sunscreen (please, no spray sunscreen—it can damage boat surfaces)
Comfortable closed-toe shoes
Snacks and drinks (an ice chest is welcome—just no glass bottles; alcohol is fine, but no liquor)
Seasickness medication (if needed) and any daily medications for longer trips
Hat and sunglasses for sun protection
And most importantly, don’t forget your valid fishing license!
We’ll handle the rest—from the gear to the fish cleaning. Just come ready for a great time!
Where can I get a fishing license?
You can purchase a Texas fishing license online through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) website: Fishing Licenses and Packages. Licenses are also available at over 1,800 retail locations across the state, including sporting goods stores, bait and tackle shops, and grocery stores.
For added convenience, TPWD offers digital licenses and tags, allowing you to carry and manage your license directly from your smartphone.
Please ensure you have a valid fishing license before your trip with Arnold’s Angling. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out—we're here to help!
How do cancellations work?
We offer free cancellation up to 7 days before your scheduled trip. You can cancel or modify your booking during that time with no penalty.
If you cancel within 7 days of your trip—or don’t show up—you’ll forfeit 100% of the payment. We understand that things come up, so please let us know as early as possible if your plans change. We're happy to work with you!
