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.

    Captain Cole IS. THE. MAN!!! A complete astute professional on the water! From safety to organizational skills on the boat. This team knows how to fish. We can’t forget the skipper of the boat. Talk about absolute work ethic. Consistently giving 100% effort in hunting for fish, educating the individuals fishing on the boat, and guiding us on how to properly fish the species that were being targeted. Fantastic team, fantastic work ethic, a great duo, and what an honor to learn how to fish with Captain Cole and his skipper. Thank you for a fantastic time. We will absolutely be coming back to fish with this team. Thank you Captain Cole and his skipper for having us on his boat, what an honor and an experience. Forever grateful, forever thankful.

    Trip: 8 Hour Full Day

  • ★★★★★
    Had a great day with Captain Dan and first mate. We pomptly set off and had a fantastic time pulling in a Mahi and half a dozen tuna. The trip was as much as we hoped for…good weather, great crew, and some fish to be cooked at a local restaurant. Highly recommend this charter and will definitely be booking again for some other fishing if/when we make it back to the Keys. Thanks Dan and Pete!

    Trip: Deep Sea, Wreck And Reef

  • ★★★★★
    Sam and crew were very professional and diligent in trying to locate fish. Unfortunately due to rough seas in the days immediately preceding our excursion the wish were not biting. We went back in via the reef and picked up six yellow tail (skipjack) which made for good eating (bang-bang style) that evening. Would charter with Mark and team again.
