What types of blue marlin fishing charters are common in Florida?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for blue marlin in Florida as well as inshore fishing, nearshore fishing, and flats fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Florida are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and bottom fishing but trolling and artificial lure fishing are popular as well.

How much do Florida blue marlin fishing charters cost?

Prices for blue marlin in Florida can range anywhere from about $1,300 to $5,598, but the average price for a half day trip for blue marlin in Florida is $1,824. The average price for a full day trip for blue marlin in Florida is $3,852.

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.

What month is best for blue marlin fishing in Florida?

The most popular season for blue marlin fishing in Florida is summer, and most anglers book their trips 20 days in advance.

Do I need a Florida fishing license for blue marlin and what are the bag limits for blue marlin in Florida?

    We had a great time. Jason was knowledgeable. Gordon (first mate) was great. Caught a few fish, couple keepers. Only issue I had is the misguided amenities, it says there is a bathroom on board and there definitely is not a bathroom.

    Captain Antonio and his son did a great job. Weather/wind was not ideal but they made sure we had a great experience and we caught some fish!

    Trip: Ultimate Offshore Thrills

  • ★★★★★
    This was honestly one of the most disappointing charters I’ve had. I’ve booked numerous charters all over and in the keys. I realize fishing is fishing but we were greeted by a captain other than Dan, great guy but not what I expected honestly. Our vessel wasn’t prepared and ready to go so we waited longer than was expected and it pushed other plans back even further. We caught one 12.5 inch yellow that was big enough to keep. On other charters the boat is quite well prepared and ready to change course quickly to get you on the fish, not the case, granted it was a shorter booking I’ve still had much better equipped captains and vessels. So to spend the day bobbing for non existent apples was not at all ideal. It was so boring my wife and son chose to nap. So just be aware that if you choose this charter it may not go at all to plan. Sadly it was a waste of precious vacation time. I typically hate reading negative reviews and have never personally left one, but this seemed appropriate given the outcome. Good luck.

    We had an amazing trip with Captain Tony. He was super knowledgeable, kind and patient with a new young angler. He put us directly on fish and specifically the tuna we wanted. We will fish with Tony again for sure. If you are looking for guide, Tony is the man and knows the Key West waters and area well being born and raised in Key West.

    Trip: Full Day Off Shore Deep Sea Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We didnt get to meet Captain Ron but we had a great time with his employee Captain Lucas. Lucas did a fantastic job of explaining what he was doing each step of the process. The water was rough and the wind was blowing extremely hard but the big boat kept us comfortable. Even through the tough weather conditions, Lucas put us on the fish and we had a blast! Would highly recommend them. Dont let Lucas young age fool you. He is great at what he does. William & Jessica
