We did a trip on Dec 6 with Joaquin Peña and had an incredible time fishing with him as our captain and guide. He was the ultimate gentleman, and his experience in fishing the bay was obvious. We caught our limit of redfish and took home a speckled trout as well. Joaquin was als...

Best fishing trip I've ever been on! Captain Joaquin is highly experienced, 43 years of being on the water. Every piece of advice he gave us worked. So if you don't listen and don't catch fish it's your own fault lol. He keeps things interesting with his humor, and makes feel lik...

We first met when we booked a 1/2 day with Captain Joaquin last year October 2023. We had such a great time that we booked another day that same week! We told him that we would see him in a year, we only made it 6 months as we’re here now and just finished our 3rd day in a row ou...

Five-star fishing adventure with Drift Water Charters and Captain Joaquin! From booking to the final catch, everything was seamless. Captain Joaquin's guidance ensured a successful trip, and we left with memories to cherish. Can't wait to book again

Capt. Joaquin did a fantastic job! He was well prepared with gear and bait. He first covered safety with my family (my wife, our three daughters ages 14, 13 & 11) before we even got on the boat. That meant allot to us. He covered his game plan and we then headed out. Once at our ...

We had a great time, caught lots of fish. Very well organized and knowledgeable. Definitely will use him and tell anyone looking for a charter to use him.

Book Captain Joaquin now! I highly recommend Capt. Joaquin - a great experience overall! First class boat and equipment and obviously a wealth of experience. Fish speed - caught about 20 spotted trout in the first 45 minutes! Moved as the bite got slower and kept catching fish th...

This trip was for my 12 year old granddaughter's birthday. Captain Joaquin worked very hard to get us fishing, despite the weather (rain) and a slow day for sentinel fish. Best of all, a 12-year-old girl caught a keeper red and her 10-year-old sister caught a keeper flounder. We ...

My husband and I had an amazing time on our fishing trip with Joaquin! He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience and was very knowledgeable about where to take us to find specific fish. He clearly was passionate about his job and wanted us to be happy. We ca...

From not fishing, to being afraid of boats, to becoming an experienced Rockport fisherman who does this every weekend, Captain Joaquín Peña was a perfect fit for the three of us. He was patient, a teacher, and able to handle multiple tasks regardless of our abilities. He was so...

We had an AWESOME day fishing today with Captain Joaquin! Such a nice guy and he knows his stuff when fishing at South Padre. My husband and I caught a lot of fish (not all large enough to keep) and we could not be happier with our trip! I highly recommend Drift Water Carters

My son and his friend's afternoon birthday weekend trip was a success. Captain Peña worked hard and got the fish caught. The boys were very excited after the trip and experience. Most importantly, they all came back and said they learned something. Not only is it a fun trip, but...
