About Melissa
“Dual carriers in medicine and navigation. 25 years as advanced practice RN. 12 years experience in owning, maintaining and navigating my own boat. The first of my navigation experience was on Lake Conroe and Lake Houston. But the sea was calling my name. I moved to Galveston and started navigating the waters of Galveston Bay, Matagorda Bay and Rockport. Today I call my second home the West Bay of Galveston; I am a captain for hire. I will take you in my boat, or drive you around in your boat, so you can sit back and enjoy your time on the water. I can teach you how to drive and navigate a boat. Also water sports is my first love in boating. Lets go tubing!”
Aboard since 2023

Capt Hook…aka Melissa…is an amazing boat captain. She was super knowledgeable about the surrounding area and even provided wonderful history facts as we moved on. The Heavenly Voyage she offered allowed us to lay to rest the ashes of my father. A man who was always happy while fishing. Melissa allowed us our time to process and was there to support us through the journey. Thank you so much for everything. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend using Capt Hook for your future endeavors. I know we will.

We had the pleasure of sailing with Captain Mellissa during a recent trip and I would recommend her to everyone. From start to finish, Captain Mellissa was professional, knowledgeable, and made our outing a memorable experience. They made sure we felt comfortable and at ease before we boarded the boat. Safety was a priority, and Captain Mellissa and the boat owner took the time to ensure we were all taken care of.

Our sailing experience with Captain Melissa was outstanding; she delivered a detailed and informative overview of Galveston, covering the water, wave, and Reef Island. Her friendly nature and extensive knowledge were evident throughout. For anyone seeking a captain for a sea excursion, Captain Melissa is highly recommended. We are eager to sail with her again and enjoy another exceptional experience.

I couldn’t recommend Melissa more as a captain. She provided a sunset and dolphin outing for my wife’s 36th birthday. She is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and made for an unforgettable night. I know when searching for Galveston boat rentals, the bulk come up for fishing, but she does that and so much more. Don’t hesitate to book and request her because she will not let you down. Thank you again, Melissa, for such an amazing trip!
