From converted ferry boat to bay fishing boat extraordinaire, the Island Queen II will take you on a leisurely fishing trip into the bay. With 2000 square feet of deck space, you will have plenty of room to mingle with others as you fish for redfish, trout drum, and sand trout. Ice chests are welcome, and the Island Queen will supply your rod, reel, bait, and tackle. The captain will be sure to take you to the hot spots during your four-hour fishing trip. The deckhands are more than happy to assist you with baiting your hook, netting your catch, and giving you tips and instructions to turn even the most novice individual into an expert fisherman. Be sure to book your spot and come aboard the Island Queen II for an unforgettable adventure!
The large deck space on the Island Queen II is perfect for family gatherings, business get-togethers, private parties, and group fishing trips. This boat is licensed for up to 99 people and catering is available.
The Island Queen II departs 3 times daily from Woodys Sports Center. Children 12 and under are half price!
Prepare for Your Time Onboard
When you book a bay fishing excursion alongside the team onboard the Island Queen II, you’ll find that nearly everything you need to make it an amazing, memorable, and successful day on the water is included in the cost of your outing. That said, it’s highly recommended that those who are heading out to reel in something exciting onboard the Island Queen II pack a few essential items too.
When you arrive for a day of thrills on the water, it’s a good idea to make sure you have plenty of sunscreen ready to go. Port Aransas and the surrounding waterways are fortunate enough to be explored in year-round warm weather, but that sunshine can be harsh when you’re out all day long on the reflective waters unprotected. Be sure you have plenty to add and re-apply as you go, and if you can invest in eco-friendly varieties that protect the marine habitats you’re out enjoying, that’s even better!
We also recommend bay fishing participants bring a cooler along to store your catch until you’re back on land and can take care of the proper cleaning steps before serving up a savory meal that was well-earned. Your outing on the water definitely deserves to include some snacks for those moments when you need to fuel up and the Queen Island II team is more than happy to allow guests to bring their bites onboard.
Above all, don’t forget your camera for this one-of-a-kind experience in Port Aransas. Whether you’re enjoying a bay fishing outing as a couple on a romantic retreat, you’re learning solo for the first time or you’re enjoying an outing with family and friends, you’re definitely going to want to make sure you commemorate those special moments on film—especially your most impressive catches!
