What types of kingfish fishing charters are common in Florida?

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

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

How much do Florida kingfish fishing charters cost?

Prices for kingfish in Florida can range anywhere from about $900 to $4,750, but the average price for a half day trip for kingfish in Florida is $1,828. The average price for a full day trip for kingfish in Florida is $3,102.

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 kingfish fishing in Florida?

The most popular season for kingfish fishing in Florida is summer, and most anglers book their trips 11 days in advance.

    Our fishing trip out of Port Canaveral with Captain David was absolutely fantastic! Me, my daughter, and fiancé had an amazing time. He had us catching fish from the very first stop. This was my 12 year old daughter’s first boat experience. She loved it. Even with a little wavy action rocking her to sleep a little, she loved it and had a wonderful time. Beyond catching fish, we were treated to some amazing wildlife sightings as well including a manatee, birds, multiple barracuda (I caught one of them), and even a massive 10-foot hammerhead shark that swam right under the boat. Captain David was knowledgeable, friendly, and knew exactly where to put us on the fish. I highly recommend booking a trip with him. We’ll definitely be back!

    Trip: Fort Walton Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Hi, Overall, we had a great trip. Captain Kyle and the mate were outstanding—professional, friendly, worked hard all day, and put us on fish. The weather cooperated, and we caught exactly what we were hoping for with some beautiful snapper and grouper. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the crew. The only disappointment was the fishing equipment. The rods and reels are showing their age and, in my opinion, are due for an upgrade. We were deep-drop fishing, and the reel handles were simply too small to provide the leverage needed to crank large fish up from deep water. For someone like me with arthritis in my hands, it made fighting fish much harder than it needed to be. Larger power handles would make a tremendous difference. The rod grips could also use attention. Several of the foam grips would rotate on the rod, and the smooth round foam became slippery when wet. Rods with more ergonomic grips or grips with flats or contours would provide much better control and comfort. None of these issues took away from the excellent job the captain and mate did, but upgrading the tackle would significantly improve what is otherwise an outstanding charter experience. I hope you'll consider investing in newer rods and reels because your crew deserves equipment that matches the quality of the experience they provide. Thanks again for a great day on the water. – Merle Gilley
