Dependable Vessel Support for Demanding Marine Operations
From short-duration assignments to long-term operational support, B & B Sportfishing provides professional vessels, licensed captains and experienced crews for projects throughout Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. We tailor each operation to the mission, environment, personnel and equipment involved.
Research & Technology Support
We support marine research, prototype evaluation, autonomous and remotely operated vessel programs, sensor testing, data collection and other technology-driven work. Our crews can provide a stable observation platform, chase or escort support, personnel transport and on-water coordination based on project requirements.
Vessel Testing & Sea Trials
B&B provides support vessels for sea trials, acceptance testing, endurance runs, demonstration events and systems validation. We work alongside project teams to help maintain safe operating separation, observe trial activity, move personnel and respond to changing test plans.
Safety, Standby & Support-Boat Operations
Our vessels can serve as safety, standby, escort, chase or general support boats for planned marine operations. Scope, operating limits and onboard requirements are reviewed before mobilization so the selected vessel and crew are appropriate for the assignment.
Offshore Logistics
We provide scheduled transport of authorized personnel, light equipment and project supplies to offshore or remote operating areas within the capabilities and legal limits of the selected vessel. Longer operating days and recurring support schedules are available by arrangement.
Environmental & Survey Support
B&B vessels can support environmental observation, sampling, shoreline or offshore surveys, site documentation and other field programs requiring experienced local vessel operation. Client-provided equipment and project personnel can be accommodated when safely compatible with the vessel.
Custom Marine Operations
Every project does not fit a standard service category. If your work requires a captain, crew and vessel in Galveston-area waters, contact us with the objective, dates, operating area, personnel and equipment. We will evaluate the assignment and recommend the best available option.
