What types of permit fishing charters are common in Fort Lauderdale?

How much do Fort Lauderdale permit fishing charters cost?

Prices for permit in Fort Lauderdale can range anywhere from about $750 to $2,000, but the average price for a half day trip for permit in Fort Lauderdale is $1,138. The average price for a full day trip for permit in Fort Lauderdale is $1,594.

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 permit fishing in Fort Lauderdale?

The most popular season for permit fishing in Fort Lauderdale is spring, and most anglers book their trips 12 days in advance.

Do I need a Fort Lauderdale fishing license for permit and what are the bag limits for permit in Fort Lauderdale?

    Patrick was a great guide! My girlfriend and I had a super fun time. Went out for Bonefish and Tarpon on the fly. Saw a lot of fish and had some good opportunities. Unfortunately a storm system came in early so spent a better portion of the day getting away from it, but no one can control the weather! All in all we had a great time and I will 100% be giving Patrick a call next time I’m in South Florida!

    Ariel was an amazing captain. We took my 5 year daughter and 10 year old son out for a half day adventure and couldn’t have had a better time. Ariel made sure the kids caught lots of fish including snapper, jacks, barracuda, and box fish. By the end of the trip we called my son Mr Nibbles because he was getting so many bites.

    Quick trip to Miami over the Father’s Day Weekend! Father, son, daughter fishing trip with Chris. Great trip, Chris took are of all our needs, put us on fish, not everyone landed the fish we hooked up on, had Kings break us off, fun nonetheless. Did manage to land lunch, nice 20-25lb African Pompano, great eating. Had a Great Tine, we’ll definitely book Chris the next time I’m down visiting my daughter💪🏼🎣

    Anthony is an amazing guide. We caught so many different kinds of fish - it exceeded all of my expectations. He was great with my kiddo who had the time of his life. I truly appreciated all of his knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend a tour with Anthony - you will love every moment.
