Had a great time! Fred's wife was very nice and informative. Boat was wonderful and we enjoyed fishing! Will rent from again. Great price!
- CalumCalum
Had a great day out on the water taking my three little girls and rest of the family. Did some sight seeing, saw dolphins, some fishing, and tubing. Renters should be experienced/comfortable operating a boat as there is a tight bridge if you want out in the main water and some shallow areas to navigate but we had no trouble. Fred was very helpful. Will be back!
- NEALNEAL
Captain Fred was Awesome! The boat was well maintained and Fred explained everything we needed to know in detail. A pleasure to work with and a wonderful day on the bay! We’ll definitely rent again from Captain Fred. Thank you Captain Fred!!!

- MichaelMichael
We had a wonderful time. Fred is very nice and helpful. This was my first time renting a boat and the experience was trouble free. The boat ran great and Fred is a great owner.
- MartyMarty
Fred was Great. Explained all functions of the boat. While fishing at the Galveston Causeway the US Coast Guard conducted an inspection of Fred's boat and found no deficiencies. I would rent from Fred again.

My kids and I had a long fun day of bay fishing with Fed's boat. He let us pick it up early in the morning. He was very through in showing me the boat's features. The Garmin with the Hook-N-Line GPS digital map helped us get to a fishing spot right out of the gate and move directly to others the rest of the day. We caught fish at almost every location we chose. At the end of our fishing day it was especially useful making sure we were heading back to Fred's.
We are going to rent Fred's boat again, maybe for tubing the lagoons nearby. - RobortRobort
Awesome experience👍🏻
Boat was clean and handled well. Fred was very helpful and knowledgeable about different areas to have a successful trip would definitely recommend!! - CarlosCarlos
Mr. Fred,
Was really nice about everything, he answer all my questions. I am very happy with our family trip that we did with the boat. Next time that I go back to Texas defenetly getting this boat again.
Thank you - CharlesCharles
Our experience with Fred was awesome. From pickup to drop-off, everything was a breeze. He had everything ready to go at 7am. Every piece of equipment we had asked for was waiting on us. He even helped us carry our things down from the car. On top of all that, the boat was perfect. All we were doing was cruising around the bay, but it is set up perfectly for fishing as well. As a matter of fact, I'll be renting again to do just that. Give Fred a try and you will be glad you did.
- donniedonnie
The boat was awesome! The bay was choppy today and the boat handled it well. Fishing was fair but I did catch a really nice 24” red drum. Fred was great to work with and an all around easy going guy. I will recommend this experience to all my friends.

- susansusan
We had a great trip. Fred was so patient explaining the details of his boat. Boat was clean and easy to drive. The navigation system was awesome. Drove the boat from Omega Bay to the west end of Galveston. Kids had a super time tubing and wake boarding.
- JoeyJoey
Fred was very helpful and the boat ran great. Wonderful experience overall, would do it again!
- LorenLoren
Is was a pleasure doing business with Fred. He was very acommidating, responsive, and his boat was clean and ready for a great day on the bay. I will definitely look to Fred when booking our next fishing trip!
- BryanBryan
Fred was great! He showed me how to use the navigation to get where I wanted to go. The boat is very nice. My family really enjoyed spending the day on the water in Galveston Bay, Kemah, Seabrook, and Clear Lake. The boat was in great shape and Fred offers a fair price. I will contact Fred first, the next time I am trying to spend the day on the water!
- TimothyTimothy
Fred's boat is located too far from the inter-coastal. The real problem was Fred's boat. In the afternoon a storm was approaching so we started back to his house. The steering broke and we were stranded. The storm came with 40kt winds and torrential rains.I truly felt our lives were in danger. After the storm we called Fred and he came and met us in his other boat. Then asked us to help him tow his boat back to a marina. It took 3 hours to do so. Afterwards we asked for a discount. He said we had full use of the boat so no discount. Contacted Boatsetter and they agreed we should have received a discount. They refunded their fee and contacted Fred. He still said no. I would use caution when dealing with him. Boatsetter did the right thing. Fred did not...

The boat was awesome. Very clean, solid, and stable. As far as Fred, he is a cool dude. Walked you through the boat, explained everything to you, showed you life vests/first aid kits etc. I would definitely rent from Fred again and will recommend him to friends.

What a great experience! We rented from Fred very last minute and he was nothing but helpful and accommodating. He answered all my questions right away and before i knew it we had a boat reserved for the upcoming weekend. The boat itself was very nice. Well maintained, well equipped and ran great. Fred had life jackets for us and even drove us out of the channel (and picked us up) since there was some moderately difficult spaces to navigate. From there he made sure we felt comfortable with the boat, made sure we knew how to use the navigation and gave us tips for getting around the area. Fred also gave us his cell number and was available all day for any questions or concerns. Overall this was a great value, an easy and pleasant transaction and a day we will never forget. We will be back to see Fred for sure and would recommend him to others as well! Thanks again, Fred! We had a wonderful time!
- JasonJason
Had a great time with the rental from Fred. I did 2 days back to back. He had the boat in tip top shape, provided ice for the live well, a map detailing the in and outs of West Bay and provided guidance on some of his favorite fishing spots. Would definitely go back.
- ColtColt
Fred is super easy going and was a pleasure to deal with. The boat was perfect for our needs.

CLASS ACT BOAT RENTER/PERSON & VERY RELIABLE /ACCOMMODATING BOAT. . .
I knew the weekend was going to be a fair one for boating/fishing out of Galveston and I needed some buddy time with some close friends of mine. I found the boatbound website and found Mr. Fred P., and his great/well-to-do boat a Sea Hunt Triton 202. We were a party of 3, and Mr. Fred accommodated us through his initial contact and well through the day after the rental with his fine customer service. Mr. Fred is a class act and not to mention provided us with a very accommodating and reliable boat with which we had a "AWESOME & MEMORABLE" day on the water to remember it all by. It does make it even better that we caught fish!!! Mr. Fred mentioned places we could try and what to watch out for as we head out of his boat slip and beyond. If the opportunity presents itself we'll be calling Mr. Fred "REEL" soon!!! I would highly recommend Mr. Fred P. and the Sea Hunt Triton 202 for your next boat rental!!!
THANK YOU FRED FOR HELPING ME CREATE GREAT MEMORIES WITH GREAT FRIENDS!!!
Chris, David,Alex - MelissaMelissa

Thank you Fred, for allowing my friends and I to rent your fishing boat!! This was the greatest Father's Day gift a dad could ask for.
Fred and his wife made the transaction very easy and smooth. Theu went over everything before letting us take off.
I definitely would book with Fred again in the future. - AlexAlex
My family made a last minute trip to Galveston. We rented a house in Jamaica Beach with a boat slip and wanted to rent a boat to get out to fish. Fred was great. Very responsive and even delivered the boat across the bay to Jamaica Beach for us. 10/10 would recommend again.
- JoeJoe
Had a great time. Thank you
- JohnJohn
Fantastic trip on an excellent boat. Fred was super helpful with getting us to the right spots on the water for fish. Would definitely rent again with him.
- JepJep
Fred was great !! Very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. His boat was very easy to use and has everything you need for a full day on the water including fishing. We didn't have much luck that day but it was still fun. I plan on using Fred again in the future.
- MarkMark
Great time out on the bay with Fred's boat. The boat was clean and as described. Fred was easy to work with. I would rent again.
- ElisaElisa
We had a great day tubing! So much fun on a great boat! Captain Fred was fantastic! Thank you!
- LarryLarry
Fred is a stand up guy and easy to deal with. Days before we took the boat out he messaged me of the conditions and to put on extra layers since it will be windy+gust. When we took the boat out, the tide was too low to get back and we were stuck for 4 hours, updated Fred on the situation and he was very understanding. We were lucky to flag a John boat over to tow us out of the marsh into a deeper section of the bay. When we brought the boat back fred was more worried about our safty since it was windy cold when we were stuck for those extra 4 hours. I can't thank Fred enough for being understanding while we were in a situation that could of went south fast.
- nicknick
Very responsive, easy access to the galveston area, easy in and out. Boat sips fuel.
- RaymondRaymond
Fred was a great renter, made it very easy as well as had a very nice boat. My day on the water with my boys for fathers day went flawless. Will definitely rent again. Thanks Fred!
- jeremyjeremy
Fred was very accommodating. The boat was very reliable. And very fuel efficient. We rented the boat for a full day but due to the heat and my wife getting over heated we went in early, Fred offered for us to go cool off and come back later that evening and finish our trip. I definitely will rent from this man again.
- CharlesCharles
I booked a rental with Fred recently to take my son out for a day of fishing in West Bay, and we had the best time. Fred responded very timely to any questions I had before the day of our trip, which was very helpful with our preparation. Prior to our launch on the big day, he patiently showed us both basic and important detailed info about his boat, and was extremely friendly in the process. Fred is truly a great guy and avid boater who enjoys seeing others have pleasant and enjoyable experiences out on the water as much as he does himself, and you can see that. His GPS/sonar unit even had multiple, pre-loaded navigational paths for getting safely around West Bay which made our trip that much easier, and certainly safer. We had no problems of any kind with the boat during our trip, and we will most definitely rent from Fred again. Thank you Fred!
- MarkMark
Great boat, great experience, great owner. We will be back ASAP. Thanks Fred!
- ThomasThomas
The boat was nice and ran well. Great gas mileage also. The water was low which caused problems while trying to plane until we arrived at the channels. I would give a better rating but the experience was not so great because of the water levels. Getting from the dock to the channels took some time but the open water experience was great.
- JimJim
We had a great time with Fred's boat! The boat is in great condition and has a nice GPS. Fred gives a good briefing on how to use the boat and had lots of helpful advice on how and where to fish. Highly recommended!
- MariaMaria
We had a great time with Captain Fred! His boat was incredible and he was very attentive to us (1st time fishermen). It was a great experience, we will be back!
- JohnJohn
Fred keeps his boat in excellent condition and it ran great. He went out of his way to be sure we had a safe and fun trip. Even we did not catch very many fish, we had memories that will last a lifetime and plan on using his boat again.
- ChrisChris
Took Fred's boat out last weekend and it was a wonderful experience. Fred is a great host and was very very helpful in pointing out where to go. I recommend taking his boat and look forward to next time

- JackieJackie
Fred was amazing and his boat was perfect! The entire process was easy and he thoroughly explained everything we needed to know. He was always a text away if we had any questions and was genuinely concerned if we were having a great time. We had an amazing experience and caught a good and diverse amount of fish. Fred helped us identify all the types of fish and gave us pointers as to which are better to eat and what not. I would highly recommend Fred and his boat and will definitely be renting from him in the future.
- KennedyKennedy

- NathanielNathaniel
Great boat and I plan to rent again!
- PABLOPABLO
I could not have asked for a better boating experience than the one I received when I rented from Mr. Fred. He was very accommodating, and extremely helpful from the beginning to the end. I was not to familiar with the waters in the area so he showed on maps and on the gps where all the good fishing spots were. The boat itself was in great shape and it handled very well. We stayed pretty dry most of the ride so that was a plus. all in all it was a great experience and I would recommend renting from Mr. Fred to anybody!!!!
- MichaelMichael
Fred was awesome. Very helpful and very personable. Perfect experience.
- KarynKaryn
We had a great experience renting the boat from Fred and will definitely rent again.
- ShebinShebin
Fred and his wife were knowledgeable and amazing hosts. This was our first time renting but won't be the last. Learning to navigate the boat out of the bay can be tricky and as we learned, quite expensive as we bent the prop blade. However, Fred was understanding and I had no problem paying for the damage. Lesson learned.
- JohnJohn
This was my first time renting a boat and Fred made it very easy. He was very responsive to questions and offered a lot of advice. Renting from Fred worked out very well. We look forward to renting his boat again.
- Dunagin
- JesseJesse

- JamieJamie
Fred is the coolest man in La Marque. Very knowledgeable about the area and charts your path out to some good fishing holes. And the boat was very clean and equipped with everything we needed for a few hours on the water.
- SongSong
Great service and we had best day with our kid
Thank you!! - JamesJames
Boat is just right for West Bay and jetty fishing. Fred is prompt and very pleasant to work with. This is our second time renting the boat from Fred this season. Hope to do it again soon.
- tonytony
Rented from Fred again and again we had a great experience. The boat was even better than the last time with the new depth/fish finder and Fred was very accommodating. Highly recommend and will be renting from again once we get a chance.
- AdamAdam

Great boat and owner. Fred was very laid back and went above and beyond to ensure that we could keep our bait alive. Boat was comfortable and reliable with all the accessories necessary to make our trip successful. We had a great time and highly recommend renting from Fred!
- TroyTroy
Boat was great, Fred was great. Nothing else I can say.
- JAMESJAMES
We had such a great experience! New to fishing the area but Fred was awesome! Very informative, showed us the GPS and spots to hit. He was very hospitbitable and welcoming. No way I'm not renting from him again. ( If will have us) Weather was not great and he tried to explain that to me prior. But I was realying on NOAA WEBSITE. What a joke😬 Always trust Captain Fred. I should write a bad review so I could keep this listing open all summer. But I am an honest man. 7 stars if they had it!
- JohnJohn
Another GREAT experience with Fred. Boat was in excellent condition and performed above expectations. Fred even went out on the water the day before our rental to answer weather conditions and gave us an updated fishing report.
- GeorgeGeorge
Fred is a great guy. Boat was great value and ran perfectly.

- Keith
- McKensieMcKensie
Everything worked out well. The water was a bit low so it was harder to get the boat out to the Intercoastal, but that’s not Fred’s fault. Overall, the boat was super clean and worked well. It was a bit of a maze to get the boat out, but he had a gps system that made the course easy to follow and made sure to give us proper guidance.
- MariaMaria★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)May. 26th
Captain Fred rocks! We want to come back soon!
