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.

    Janis and her boat were amazing! She took my 9-year-old son and I out lobstering for our first time! We caught SO many lobsters and got to take many home! She is knowledgeable, fun, good with my son, safe, and is a true sportswoman. I can’t recommend her enough! We will be back!

    The weather wasn’t super conducive, and we were late in the season, but Capt Hunter worked overtime to get us on some bugs and make sure r went home with some! And he was great with our 11 year old son who was out for hours first time with us! Definitely will look him up again when we’re back in the keys.

    Captain Hunter & his guide, Valerie were awesome. Florida weather tried to rain on our parade but they made it happen. We went home with a great dinner & that's all we could've hoped for. We will definitely book them again on our future trips!

    Trip: Key West Lobstering - 30’ Seahunter

  • ★★★★★
    Hunter and his crew were excellent, it was a first time going lobstering so they made everyone feel very safe and comfortable going over everything in detail and going with us to enure our comfort and saftey. Althugh we did run into some weather they worked very hard to get us on lobsters and work around the weather. The first time we drop in the water there my friend had a lobster right under him within a minute. As weather progressed they even gave us credit since we couldn't stay out the entire time even though it was already a great experience. We will be back again.

    Trip: Private 4 Hr Lobster Snorkeling

  • ★★★★★
    Hunter is a lobster expert and put me on numerous keeper lobsters while, from what I hear, most other guides struggled to in these very tough 2024 mini-season conditions (last 2 days). Good guy, and is patient and happy to teach newbie free-divers like me the ropes. I HIGHLY recommend for newbies or experts!! He obviously knows his stuff and he must be one of the best lobster fisherman in the Keys. The pic is from our 7/24/24 trip. I won’t hire anyone else again after the last few trips with Hunter!!

    Captain Hunter, along with Captain Janis and Valerie, are the expert !!!! Captain Hunter and the team will give you the best experience that you could ask for lobstering ! It was my first trip doing this, and it is remarkable. The Captains helped me set a foundation of what to do and to be careful. Their safety is number one priority. Will definitely recommend Captain Hunter to everyone and I want to come back lobstering with him again. Valerie and Captain Janis also help this trip run smooth and create fun environment. By the way, Captain Hunter made the best ceviche ever !!!!! And ooh ! I love you Seabass( cute little doggy) she is the best security guard ! 😍😍
