Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    Great trip. Willy set us up with Captain Stephen and his awesome first mate. We hooked several nice mahi mahi and had them grilled up at the marina for an incredible lunch afterwards. Highly recommend!!

    Trip: Half/Full Day Inshore Trip

  • ★★★★★
    My son and I fished on Amy’s Dream, and had an amazing day. Captain Christian went over a plan with us before we shoved off, and we went out hopping to hook into sailfish. A few hits early on got the excitement going until we hooked and landed two beautiful sailfish pretty close to each other mid day. Was an awesome time and they di a great job coaching and assisting my 8year old to reel/land the fish nearly solo. Some more hits and excitement rounded out the afternoon. Can’t reccomend Amy’s dream enough, we will be back.
