What types of lobster fishing charters are common in Florida?

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

The most common fishing techniques in Florida are bottom fishing, gigging, and spearfishing but cut bait fishing and drift fishing are popular as well.

How much do Florida lobster fishing charters cost?

Prices for lobster in Florida can range anywhere from about $810 to $3,000, but the average price for a half day trip for lobster in Florida is $1,649. The average price for a full day trip for lobster in Florida is $2,176.

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 lobster fishing in Florida?

The most popular season for lobster fishing in Florida is summer, and most anglers book their trips 30 days in advance.

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

    My wife and I and 13 year old son went on a six hour spearfishing tour with Torre and it was by far the highlight of our trip to the Keys. We ended up with a fridge full of lobster, snapper, cero mackerel and yellow jack and we turned it into sashimi, ceviche, lobster macaroni and beer battered fish. We saw hammerheads, goliath groupers and sea turtles. My wife and I had never spear fished before but we had a great time; much better than fishing. Torre was an amazing guide and clearly knew where to go and what to look for. Next time we’re in the Keys, this will be our first stop.

    Tom was a delight to be with for the day. He made it an pleasure with five (5) beginners. We tickled and netted more then we could eat for dinner for two nights. My family would recommend Tom to anyone.

    Trip: Catch Your Own Tasty Lobster!

  • ★★★★★
    Tom was great! He got our beginner group on lobsters and even though it was late in the season, we still caught a good amount of keepers. We inshore fished for a bit after we had enough water time. Fish were slow to bite but Tom worked hard to find hot spots so we could get on the fish. Great conversion, cool guy and overall we had a blast. I’d definitely recommend a trip with Captain Tom.
