What types of crab fishing charters are common in Florida?

Inshore fishing is the most popular type of fishing for crab in Florida as well as flats fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Florida are bottom fishing and gigging.

How much do Florida crab fishing charters cost?

Prices for crab in Florida can range anywhere from about $700 to $2,400, but the average price for a half day trip for crab in Florida is $975. The average price for a full day trip for crab in Florida is $1,950.

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 crab fishing in Florida?

The most popular season for crab fishing in Florida is summer, and most anglers book their trips 16 days in advance.

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

    Had a great experience with Captain Antonio. Would definitely use him again. If you are in Key West it would be a great way to spend time on the water. Catch some fish, catch some lobster, he can do it all.

    Absolutely amazing!!! It was our first time catching lobsters, Antonio made it easy for us. We caught all the lobster we could eat. Snorkeled an amazing reef and got up close with some dolphins!!! One of the best charters we have ever been on.

    Antonio was a fantastic captain and I had a great time with him on our lobster hunt. The boat is very comfortable and Antonio is a GREAT guy! He is very skilled and managed to get our limit of lobsters - making the tour a great choice for a beginner who doesn't yet know the ropes of lobster hunting. After the tour, he also cleaned them and put them in a plastic bag and gave great tips on where to go to get them cooked. Happy to return anytime - THANK you Antonio for the great trip!

    Captain Tony was amazing! Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Took us to a few great spots and showed us how everything was done. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have caught our limit of lobster! Even got to spear a nice grouper, for the icing on the cake. He put in a lot of hard work! So thank you for that. This was this highlight of our trip down here to Key West. 10 out of 10. Would do again.

    We had an amazing time with Capt Antonio. Got our limit of lobster quickly then had plenty of time to sight see and find dolphin and manatee. Enjoyed some beach time as well. Prompt service, great local guide, friendly experience. Definitely recommend and we will use this same guide again.
