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.

    well worth the time, effort, money to do this trip exclusively with your family. 10/10 trip. I caught 20 fish and there were 7 other people. We kept some snapper, everything else were all thrown back in the ocean.

    Trip: Summertime Deepsea - 53’ G&S

  • ★★★★★
    Cliff and his mate Austin were incredible! Such great guys. We had a great day, caught lots of fish and enjoyed a great day on the water. Would definitely fish with them again!

    Trip: Destin Deep Sea Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    Despite not catching anything big enough to keep, Jason made efforts to change locations and lures to give us the best chances. He expertly navigated pop-up storms and kept spirits high with a curated playlist. Even though we lost the "big one" as it snapped an 80-lb test line while darting under the boat, we had a great time and would fish with him again. The inclusion of a toilet on the boat, though small, was invaluable for our party of 4.

    Trip: Inshore Fishing

    This was the first time son and I have ever fished saltwater. We have only fished freshwater. Capt. Kent and his wife were the best. We already told Capt. Kent everytime we are here we are booking him. Great time!
