Voted #1 Fishing Charter

Deep Sea Headquarters: Local’s List Voted Best Fishing Guide & Charter!

Thank You, Coastal Bend!
We’re honored and grateful to be voted the top Fishing Guide and Charter in the Coastal Bend. This recognition means the world to us—and it wouldn’t be possible without you. From the families who landed their first red snapper, to the seasoned anglers who reeled in yellowfin tuna, it’s your stories, your cheers at the dock, and your loyalty that keep us doing what we love every single day.

A Port Aransas Legacy Since 1996

Owned by Captain Kelly Owens since 1996, Deep Sea Headquarters has been reeling in memories on the Port Aransas waterfront for nearly 30 years. It all started with a passion for fishing, a strong work ethic, and a love for the Gulf. Today, that legacy continues under the leadership of Kelly’s son, Mac Owens, who serves as our General Manager and keeps the family’s tradition alive with innovation, quality, and that unmistakable Port A charm.

We’re more than a charter company—we’re a part of this community. Families return to our dock year after year, often bringing the next generation with them. Whether you’re boarding for a bucket-list tuna trip, or a first-time family fishing experience, we’re honored to be part of your story.

The Captains Behind the Catch

This award is a direct reflection of the hard work, skill, and heart of our incredible captains. These captains—along with our hardworking mates and staff—are the heartbeat of Deep Sea Headquarters. Their dedication, knowledge, and friendly spirit make every trip special.

Captain Kevin Haller of the Gulf Eagle is a true offshore veteran. His ability to put guests on fish—whether it’s red snapper, kingfish, or tuna—is legendary around here. Time and time again, reviews roll in from guests who return to his boat year after year, calling it the trip of a lifetime.

Captain Nikolas Serghiou of The Pelican brings a calm, confident leadership to his trips—perfect for families, first-timers, or seasoned anglers looking for a fun, relaxed day of reeling in the action.

And then there’s Captain Tyler Davis, better known as Cowboy. With his trademark cowboy hat and contagious enthusiasm, he brings a Texas-sized dose of personality to every trip. Cowboy’s guests don’t just leave with fish—they leave with stories.
